FAQ

Common questions.

How is Automated Finance different from other options?

You get a dedicated senior team, not a rotating group of unfamiliar staff. Every deliverable is reviewed and signed off by a CPA before it reaches you, and you can see the full picture in PRISM in real time, instead of waiting for a monthly update.

What’s included in the fixed fee?

Your fee covers the full scope you choose, whether that’s a single process or your entire finance function, with no surprise hourly charges. If your scope changes, like after an acquisition, we’ll scope that change together before any new work begins.

How fast can we go live?

It depends on scope. Starting with a single process typically moves faster than a full Office-of-the-CFO build. You’ll get a specific date on your scoping call, once we understand what you need.

Do we keep control and approval over the work?

Yes. CFGI executes the work. Your team keeps every approval, every policy decision, and every sign-off, visible in PRISM as it happens.

Can we start with just one process?

Yes. Most clients start with the process causing the most pain today, like close or AP, and expand once they see how it works.
