How it works
From your books to your next decision
Connect
Link QuickBooks or Xero, or upload a CSV. Secure sync, no spreadsheets.
See
Burn, runway, and spend in one place, live from your books. Every number traces to its source.
Decide
Model a hire, a cut, or a plan change. Watch what it does to your runway before you commit.
Scenario modeling
Can you afford that hire? Now you know.
Add a hire, cut a cost, or change the plan. Clarifi runs the scenario on your live burn and cash and shows you the new runway before you commit.
- Scenarios run on live numbers from your books, not a copy you maintain
- Every scenario states its assumptions next to the result
- Share the plan you choose with your board or investors
Also built for investors

The Data Bridge
You control what investors see, who sees it, and how often it updates.
Founders publish a scoped grant, per metric and per investor, and pick the cadence: live, by snapshot, or paused. Connections survive the pause; data does not surface until you say so. Revocable any time.
- What: per-metric toggles (ARR, growth, burn, runway, headcount, customers, revenue breakdown, retention trend).
- Who: each investor gets their own scope. Pausing keeps the connection; revoking ends the relationship, and the investor has to be re-invited.
- How often: continuous, snapshot, paused, or a scheduled auto-publish (daily through quarterly).
FAQ
Transparent answers for high-stakes reporting.
Questions investors and founders ask most when evaluating standardized operating metrics.
How does Clarifi calculate runway?
From your cash balance and the gross burn (COGS + OpEx + interest + tax) of your last complete month. A month still in progress has no usable rate, so it is not used as the anchor. Every calculation shows its formula and source data.
Can I see what a new hire does to my runway?
Yes. Model a hire, a cost cut, or a plan change and see the runway impact before you commit. Scenarios run on your live burn and cash, not a copy you have to maintain.
Can I trace a KPI back to the accounts behind it?
Yes. Every metric shows its drill-down path: KPI, then its definition, then the accounts it is mapped from, then the statement report lines those accounts came from. Clarifi imports report totals rather than individual line items, so the chain ends at the report lines, and all of it is visible and auditable.
How is this different from another dashboard?
Dashboards tell you what happened. Clarifi models what happens next: add a hire, cut a cost, change the plan, and see your new runway. You control what investors see, and every number traces back to your books.
