Making Business Financial IntelligenceSimple, Accessible, and Powerful
Every business owner deserves to understand their numbers. To walk into bank meetings with confidence. To see problems before they become crises. That's not a luxury—it's a necessity. We're making it accessible to everyone.
Built for the Businesses That Drive the Economy
You're brilliant at what you do. You know your customers, your products, your market. But when the bank calls for financials? When an investor wants projections? When you need to make a critical decision about cash flow?
That's where most business owners hit a wall. Your bookkeeper tracks transactions—but doesn't provide strategic insight. A full-time CFO costs $200K+. Fractional CFO services run $3,000-$10,000 monthly. The tools that could help are locked behind enterprise price tags.
We built Ask Lou to break that barrier. To give every ambitious business the financial intelligence to compete with companies ten times their size. Because the best businesses shouldn't be held back by the cost of clarity.
The Problem We Saw
Business owners paying $150K+ for fractional CFOs. Entrepreneurs guessing at their margins. Founders losing deals because they couldn't produce financials fast enough. The intelligence gap was killing growth.
The Solution We Built
We asked: what if every business could have the financial intelligence of a Fortune 500—without the Fortune 500 budget? So we built it. AI-powered. Instant. Accessible.
The Impact We're Making
Businesses are winning bank approvals. Closing investor deals. Spotting problems before they become crises. Making confident decisions instead of educated guesses.
Our Core Values
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that guide every decision we make.
