Apply for a seatThe scribe
The first people to hold a pen were bookkeepers. The oldest tablets are grain and livestock ledgers, and letters came after numbers.
Egypt gave that work a patron: Seshat, the goddess of writing, records and measurement, who counted the years on a notched palm rib and stretched the cord before anything was built. Rome named money itself after Moneta, a goddess of advice.
Forecraft is the latest in that craft. A machine checks every line. A person reads it and signs.
Production is cheap now. Judgment is not.
Seshat. Her name means the female scribe.
Asked before
Does Forecraft work with my accounting software?
Forecraft connects to QuickBooks Online and Xero, both currently in beta. For any other platform (Sage, FreshBooks, Wave, or anything else), export a CSV and upload it. Forecraft handles categorization and analysis automatically.
Will the output sound like me or like a generic AI?
Forecraft uses AI to draft the words. It writes the three-sentence summary and the decision memos, each with an owner, a due date and a next step, in a CFO's register rather than general text. The figures never come from the AI: they come from Forecraft's own calculations, every amount and percentage in a draft is checked against them, and a sentence that does not match is replaced. AI-drafted words reach a client only when you switch them on for that pack, after you have read and edited them, and you can turn AI off for any workspace in Settings.
Is my clients' financial data safe?
Your clients' data is encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train AI models, and processed only to generate your close pack. Forecraft is GDPR-compliant for European users. Full details at /security.
Can I use Forecraft if my clients are outside the US?
Yes. Forecraft works with any CSV from any accounting platform worldwide. QuickBooks and Xero connections are in beta. UK users on Sage or FreeAgent upload a CSV export. Forecraft is GDPR-compliant for all European users.
What exactly is a management pack?
A management pack is the monthly client deliverable a fractional CFO produces: executive summary, variance analysis, KPI snapshot, cash runway, and action items. Forecraft drafts the whole pack from a CSV or accounting software export, and you review it before your client sees it.
How long does the first pack take?
Your first close pack takes a few guided steps from upload to review. The app walks you through the same six steps each month: bring in the export, check every line, see what moved, review and sign, send it in your name, and pick up next month. After the first run, repeat closes are faster because your category mapping is remembered.
How is Forecraft different from Fathom?
Fathom produces reports and dashboards. It tells you what changed. Forecraft produces a complete monthly close workflow and tells you what to do about it, with decision memos that assign an owner, a due date, and a next step. Fathom recently added AI commentary. Forecraft drafts with AI too, then keeps the record: each decision carries into the next month's pack until it is closed. They are different products.
Do my clients need to create an account?
No. Clients receive a link they open in any browser. No account, no login, no app to install. They can read the pack, ask questions by section, and receive your replies. The link stays live and always shows your latest published pack.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your account moves to the free Owner plan and your data stays for as long as the account exists. Every management pack you generated is a standalone HTML file that works without Forecraft, and you can download your own records from Settings at any time. Deleting a workspace or your account removes its data.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Owner plan is free with 1 workspace, P&L upload, month-over-month changes, and a basic cash outlook. No credit card required. The client-ready pack (Print Pack, email send, your firm's name and drafted commentary) is on Advisor.
What is the Founding Advisor offer?
Founding Advisor is the complete Advisor plan, including 5 client workspaces, at $99/month, open to the first 10 eligible firms. The price is guaranteed for 24 months while your subscription stays continuously active. Cancelling ends the guarantee. After 24 months the subscription renews at the then-current Advisor price, and we give at least 60 days' notice before any price change. Founding Advisor status, priority onboarding, early feature access, roadmap input, and a place on the Certified Advisor waitlist are permanent and are not affected when the guarantee ends.
What does Forecraft cost?
Owner is free. Advisor is $149/month for 5 client workspaces. Practice is $299/month for 10 workspaces and 3 seats. Firm is $599/month for 25 workspaces and 10 seats. Beyond that, Enterprise is a custom quote. Cancel anytime.
Why does it look like this?
The first bookkeepers were scribes; the first scribe in the record was a woman, Seshat, who counted the years on a palm rib and stretched the cord before anything was built. Money is named after a goddess of advice. We took that seriously.
