About FinDash
FinDash (findash.tech) is a free web app that turns a small business's monthly figures, from an Excel or CSV spreadsheet or a photo of a supplier invoice, into a profit and loss (P&L) dashboard of revenue, costs, profit and budget vs actual, with plain-language AI advice. It is not accounting software.
Why it exists
Most small business owners already have their numbers: a Profit and Loss report from QuickBooks or Xero, a spreadsheet, a pile of supplier invoices. What they rarely have is the time to turn those numbers into an answer to the questions that matter each month. Did we make money? Where did it go? Are we over budget? Is it getting better or worse?
FinDash was built for a restaurant, to answer exactly those questions from its monthly totals. It began as a small Java program that read two spreadsheets and printed each month's profit, and grew into the dashboard on this site. Its four cost groups work just as well for shops, trades, service businesses and freelancers.
How it works
- Your spreadsheet stays on your computer. FinDash reads and totals it in your own browser. It is not uploaded.
- No account needed. The dashboard works for anyone. A free account adds saving your figures for use on any computer, reading invoice photos and written advice.
- AI with a free account. Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, reads invoice photos, writes advice when you press Get advice, and matches column names it doesn't recognise (the names only, never your numbers). FinDash checks invoice arithmetic against the printed total, and you confirm every line.
- Plain words. Every figure has a short explanation beside it, and the help page explains each term.
What FinDash doesn't do
FinDash does not connect to bank accounts, keep books, send invoices, take payments, run payroll, file taxes or show cash flow. It shows profit from the figures you already have, so you can act on them. Its numbers are a guide, not accounting, tax, legal or investment advice.
Open about how it's built
FinDash runs on Vercel, saves accounts and figures with Supabase, and uses Anthropic's Claude for the features that read photos, write advice and match column names. The privacy policy lists exactly what each of them receives. The source code is public on GitHub.
