Founder & CEO

Why I built Compass AI?

Two years ago, I was running a growing agency that was doing well on paper. Revenue was solid, clients were happy, but we were burning through cash faster than I expected.
I was losing sleep over it and was frustrated by the inefficiency. We had all this financial data scattered across different tools, but no real visibility into what was actually driving profitability. Were our biggest clients actually our most profitable? Which projects were cash drains? I found myself making gut decisions when I knew data-driven ones would be smarter.
The lightbulb moment came when I realized this wasn't just my problem - it was every owner's and every overwhelmed CFO's problem.
You shouldn't need to hire a full-time CFO to understand your own business. And CFOs managing multiple entities shouldn't be spending 80% of their time wrangling data when they could be driving strategy.
We need to understand our real unit economics, model scenarios quickly, and make confident decisions without drowning in spreadsheets.
That's why I built Compass AI, to give every owner and financial leader CFO-level intelligence without the CFO-level complexity or cost.
