FinDash is free, and the dashboard works without an account. Add a spreadsheet of your monthly totals to see each month's revenue, costs, gross and net profit, and how much of your budget you used. **Do I need QuickBooks or Xero to use FinDash?** No. Fill in FinDash's Excel or CSV template, or use your own layout: columns are matched by name, and a sheet with the months across the top is turned the right way round. If you use QuickBooks or Xero, copy each month's totals from your Profit and Loss report. **Is my spreadsheet uploaded anywhere?** No. Your spreadsheet is read and added up in your own browser. Only the things you ask for that need a server leave your computer: reading an invoice photo, writing advice, or saving your figures to a free account. The privacy policy lists exactly what is sent. **Can FinDash read a photo of a supplier invoice or receipt?** Yes, with a free account. Claude, an AI model, reads every line; FinDash checks the arithmetic against the printed total; and you confirm the lines before anything is added to your month. **What does budget used mean?** Your total costs as a share of the spending budget you set for the month. Over 100% means you spent more than you planned, and the month shows up under What needs attention. **What is the difference between gross profit and net profit?** Gross profit is revenue minus direct costs: cost of goods sold, labor, employee meals and payroll tax. Net profit is what is left after every cost, and net margin is net profit as a share of revenue. **Does FinDash show cash flow?** No. It shows profit: each month's revenue minus its costs. Cash can differ, for example when customers pay late or you buy stock ahead, so a profitable month can still leave you short of cash. **Does it work for restaurants, shops and trades?** Yes. FinDash was built for a restaurant, and its four cost groups work just as well for shops, trades, service businesses and freelancers. Figures can be in dollars, euros, pounds and other currencies. **Is FinDash accounting software?** No. It doesn't connect to your bank, keep your books, send invoices, take payments, run payroll or file taxes. It shows the figures you already have, clearly, so you can act on them. --- This is the Markdown version of https://findash.tech/.
