Frequently Asked Questions

What if I already have an accountant?

We can work alongside your existing accountant or take over entirely. Most clients find that ClariFi plus our finance team replaces their current setup at a lower cost with better outcomes for their startup.

Can I start with Basic and upgrade later?

Absolutely. Most clients start with Basic or Foundation and upgrade as they grow. There are no penalties or migration fees — your data and history carry forward seamlessly.

What accounting software do you support?

We integrate with QuickBooks, Xero, and Zoho Books, plus payment platforms like Stripe, banking tools like Mercury, expense management like Ramp, payroll through Gusto and ADP, and cap table management via Carta.

How does the AI actually work?

ClariFi uses AI to generate board packs, flag spend anomalies, automate tax compliance, and answer financial questions in plain English — all benchmarked against industry standards. Every AI output is reviewed by your accountant or CFO before it reaches you, so you get the speed of automation with the accuracy of human oversight.

How does the 45-day free trial work?

Sign up and get full access to your plan for 45 days — no credit card required. Your team will onboard you, set up your books, and get ClariFi live. If you love it, billing starts automatically after the trial. If not, cancel with one click.
