What does FuseGrid NOT do?

It won't file your taxes, negotiate your lease, or sit in the room with your bank. It does the daily analysis, forecasting, and reporting a CFO would — the deliverables, not the person.

I'm not on QuickBooks Online. Can I use FuseGrid?

Not yet — FuseGrid is built on QuickBooks Online. We'd rather say so here than after you sign up.

You have reports. You need answers.

Q: Is my QuickBooks data safe?

FuseGrid connects read-only through Intuit — it can analyze your books and can never change them. Your data is encrypted, and you can disconnect at any time.

The going rate

What CFO work costs in 2026.

A fractional CFO

$3,000–$10,000/mo

A few hours a month of a shared executive. Great judgment — on their calendar, at their rate.

A consultant's forecast model

$5,000 one-time

A beautiful spreadsheet that's stale by spring and breaks the first time you touch it.

Nothing

$0/mo

Most businesses your size choose this option. That's the expensive one — you just pay for it later, and by surprise.

FuseGrid does the deliverables — the daily read, the cash forecast, the bank model, the board pack — from $99 a month.

Sound familiar?

It's 9pm and the QuickBooks tab is open again.

You're not looking for anything in particular. You're looking for a feeling — are we okay? — and a P&L has never once handed it over.

You do the payroll math in your head at red lights.

The problem started in March. You found out in May.

You don't need another report. Reports are the problem. Here's what it looks like when the numbers explain themselves.

What changed, and why

Your P&L, with the CFO's pen still on it.

Every close, FuseGrid writes What stood out at the top of each statement, ranks the drivers by what they did to your bottom line, and flags the lines that deserve a second look — statistical outliers, sign flips, suspiciously round journal entries. Same-day close insights — not a two-week wait for someone else's calendar.

A $40,000 account going quiet is a finding; a $40 one is silence you paid for. It knows the difference.

Cash

Know you'll make payroll. Five Fridays from now.

The 13-week cash forecast knows when payroll hits, when rent clears, and when each invoice is actually due — so a tight week shows up while it's still weeks away and fixable. When there's a move that fixes it, FuseGrid models the move.

A tight week shows up as a specific week with a specific cause — and the move that fixes it, modeled while there's still time to make the call.

Early warning

Bad news ages terribly.

On day 12 of the month, FuseGrid tells you how much of the plan you've actually realized — not a naive run-rate that thinks every day is the same. And the Books Trust score checks the books themselves, so "the books are a bit messy" becomes $12,400 uncategorized, and Equipment Rental landing on exactly $4,000 — a to-do list, in dollars.

The expensive version of a problem is the one you learn about three weeks late.

Getting paid

Getting paid shouldn't be a mystery genre.

Your aging report knows who owes you. It doesn't know who's slipping. FuseGrid shows which customers drove the change, scores who's likely to pay late before they do, and tells you what invoices like these historically recover — so you chase the right people first.

DSO crept up five days — three customers slowed. Here's who to call first.

The bank meeting

The bank wants projections. Hand them a model, not a screenshot.

FuseGrid forecasts all three statements — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, reconciled — 24 months out, and rebuilds it every night as QuickBooks syncs. One click exports an 11-sheet Excel model with native formulas and a live driver sheet. Your banker can audit every cell, and toggle the cases themselves.

It ships with its own report card: predicted vs. actual, on your own history. Because "trust me" isn't a forecast methodology.

Yes, we make the spreadsheet too. The difference is this one doesn't break.

The scoreboard

Profitable, sure. But are you good?

Every ratio is benchmarked against IRS industry averages — 400+ industry codes, not a made-up index — so "fine" gets an answer to fine compared to what? And service-line margins show which parts of the business actually make money.

Beacon's discovery: the busiest trucks made the least money — Install's margin ran far below Service's. The statements put numbers on it.

What is it all worth?

Four valuation methods, blended, with the levers ranked. Not a someday number — a today number, with a to-do list attached. Every input sits on the page — change one and the estimate moves with it.

The human CFO wins on judgment and negotiations. That's not what we sell. We sell the deliverables — so if you ever hire one, they start with everything already built. And if you already have a fractional CFO? Give them FuseGrid — it's the analyst they don't have. See the full comparison →

Fair questions

Ask us the hard ones.

Is this just ChatGPT pointed at my books?

No. The numbers come from a deterministic pipeline over your general ledger — the same math every time, testable and traceable. AI writes the explanations on top, and every claim links to the transactions behind it. If a number ever looks wrong, click it and check the ledger.

What does it NOT do?

It won't file your taxes, negotiate your lease, or sit in the room with your bank. FuseGrid does the deliverables a CFO produces — the daily read, the forecast, the model, the board pack — not the judgment calls a human makes in the room.

Do I still need my accountant?

Yes — and they get a free seat. Your accountant keeps the books right; FuseGrid does the daily analysis a CFO would. Different jobs. Most accountants love it, because they stop getting the "quick question" emails.

Can it mess up my QuickBooks?

No. The connection is read-only through Intuit's own consent screen — this is what you approve, verbatim:

FuseGrid wants to:

✓ View your QuickBooks Online data

✗ ~~Create or change transactions~~ — never requested

Disconnect anytime from either side. How we handle your data →

My books are a bit messy. Will this even work?

Messy books are half the point. The Books Trust score finds the mess and prices it in dollars — "$12,400 uncategorized, and Equipment Rental landing on exactly $4,000," not a vague bad feeling — so you (or your bookkeeper) get a to-do list instead of a lecture.

How do I know the forecast isn't made up?

It ships with its own report card. The Accuracy sheet shows what the model predicted for your recent months against what actually happened — on your own books. It gives bands, not false precision. Judge it on its record.

Not on QuickBooks Online?

Then we can't help you yet — FuseGrid is built on QBO. We'd rather say so here than after you sign up.
