• I handle all things growth. Marketing, Branding, Content, Product and Story.
• Let me tell you about 4 things CFOs say about turning numbers into stories:
• 1. I know the story. I just don’t have time to tell it.
• 2. We’re stuck building slides instead of driving insight.
• 3. We close the books, but don’t drive the conversation.
• 4. The board sees the report, but not the reasoning behind it.
• And when the story gets lost, so does the influence.
• So we built finstory ai — a financial storytelling tool to help CFOs explain 3 things:
• 1. What changed?
• 2. Why it matters?
• 3. What’s next?
• And to our surprise, over 419 people signed up.
• You upload your spreadsheet.
• finstory.ai handles the analysis, the narrative, and the visuals.
• Numbers alone don’t build trust. Stories do.
• And every CFO should have the tools to tell theirs.
• This is the storytelling tool CFOs want.
• And we want to spend our time helping CFOs turn spreadsheet chaos into narrative clarity in minutes.
