- Investor reports: Generated polished financial statements and growth scenarios from FYNANCE dashboards to share with potential investors.
- Automated invoicing: Implemented FYNANCE’s automated billing for software licenses, speeding up customer onboarding and payments.
Outcome:
- Successful funding: TechNova secured $500K in seed funding, 20% above target, thanks to clear financial forecasts.
- Revenue growth: Onboarded 10 new corporate clients in 6 months, increasing monthly recurring revenue by 30%.
- Efficiency gains: Automated processes cut billing time by half, reducing the finance team workload and supporting faster client delivery.
