A CFO at a startup is usually a team of one.

We have integrations pulling data from a bunch of different systems.

There's consolidation, forecasting, board reporting, year-end close, and then all the co-founder work on top of that (product, customer conversations, hiring, fundraising).

I don't have a finance team backing me up. It's me.

And I think that's actually pretty common at this stage. You look at a company from the outside and assume there's infrastructure behind every function.

But in a lot of growing businesses, the person presenting the board deck is also the person who built it, reconciled the data, and closed the books.

I'm one of the users who needs Pluvo.
I need to schedule analyses that run without me.
I need agents that cross-check my systems overnight so I'm not spending my mornings doing it manually.
I need consolidated reports across entities without hours of currency conversion in spreadsheets.

I genuinely could not do my job without Pluvo. And because I use it every day, I also know exactly where it falls short and what we need to build next, which is a pretty good feedback loop for a product company.

The best part is that every hour I save on manual finance work is an hour I can spend talking to customers.

And talking to customers is my favorite part of this job by far.
