Common questions

Does AskBiz replace my accountant?

No — and neither does Fathom. AskBiz's CFO Mode gives founders the reports they need to make daily decisions and prepare for board meetings. Your accountant handles compliance, tax, and audit. AskBiz and Fathom both connect to Xero and QuickBooks to pull your financial data.

What's included in AskBiz CFO Mode?

Board-ready P&L summaries, cash runway analysis, margin analysis by product/category, working capital assessment, cost structure breakdown, and one-page executive summaries — all generated from your connected accounting data. Available on the Business plan (£39/month).
