Profit is not cash.
Most cash crunches look like a good month. The job is done, the money is earned, and it lands two weeks after payroll and parts.
Your bank balance tells you where you are. It doesn't tell you where you'll be.
Cash for businesses with 5 to 50 people and no CFO
Profitable on paper. Broke on Friday.
Your accountant does your taxes. Who watches your cash? We connect QuickBooks and your bank feed to one dashboard with AI, so you see the crunch weeks before it hits, and late invoices get chased without you.
You get a first picture of your cash for the next 12 months. If you're already on top of it, we tell you.

The problem
You're not bad at money. You're the accidental CFO.
The accountant does last year's taxes. The bank shows today's balance. Nobody shows you where you'll be in March.
Nobody chases, nobody looks ahead.
Invoices go out when there's time. Reminders go out when it hurts. The books get fixed in April, for the tax return.
Three or four late invoices stack up and a good business feels broke.

Why us
We run our own businesses this way.
Chris sold his last company and runs Erler Ventures on his own AI setup, with agents that do his bookkeeping and invoicing. Mike builds automations for consultants and product companies.
No customer stories here yet for this offer. We'd rather show you nothing than make one up.
From our work
A product company almost bought a six-figure software license.
They wanted to get on top of inventory, finances and forecasts. Instead: one week on site, connecting the spreadsheets they already had.

Questions
My accountant handles the money.
Does your accountant show you the next 12 months, or last year's taxes? We work next to your accountant, not instead of them.
I don't trust AI with my finances.
Fair. You see every step and approve every reminder. AI reads your numbers, it never moves money. Your data stays in your own accounts. [Data path to be confirmed by the team.]
Our books are a mess.
That's normal, and it's why we clean first. AI on a messy ledger only makes the mess faster.
We don't use QuickBooks.
Tell us what you use in the check. Spreadsheets work too. [Team: list of supported tools.]
Also on your plate
Who checks a changed bank number on an invoice?
Our security package sets up payment rules so a fake invoice hits a rule, not a person.
30 minutes. Where will you be in March?
We look at how money comes in, what's outstanding and what your books can tell you. You leave with a first 12-month cash picture.
Our promiseIf the check doesn't show you at least three things worth fixing, you owe nothing and we tell you so.
