Your data, on your machine.
Every document FinStat checks is sealed and handed back to you. Keep them locally, and you can rebuild your books from them at any time.
Mission
Make your AI as efficient as it can be. Keep your data yours.
FinStat exists to make your AI as efficient as possible at accounting, and to give you full access to and control of your data, so you are never held hostage by a cloud system.
01 / The world we are building for
Your AI will run your computing. Your accounting should keep up.
We believe that very soon everyone will drive their computing and their workflows through advanced frontier AI agents. You will say what you want done, and your agent will do it — across your files, your tools and your accounts.
FinStat is the accelerator and custom AI accounting engine for that world. Your agent hands it the accounting work that needs exact arithmetic, source evidence and hard accounting judgment, and gets back books it can trust and the few questions that need you.
No new app to learn. Accounting software is built for people clicking through screens. FinStat is built for your agent. Tell it what you need; it already knows how to work with FinStat.
02 / Control that earns its keep
Their model captures your data. Ours has to do a good job for you.
Subscription accounting systems are built on data capture: your books live in their cloud, and the fee keeps coming because leaving is hard. That is control — but control of you.
The only control FinStat wants is the kind that does a good job for you. Our model requires it: your data is yours, you can take it anywhere, and you pay only when FinStat does work you asked for. If FinStat stops being worth it, nothing holds you.
| Question | The data-capture model | FinStat |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | In the vendor's cloud. The books are there, and the product is built around keeping them there. | With you. Every document FinStat checks is sealed and handed back, to keep on your own machine as well as in your workspace. |
| What the fee pays for | A monthly subscription, often per seat — due whether or not any work was done. | The work FinStat does. Nothing for holding your data, nothing per user, nothing per client. |
| What keeps you there | Your history. Leaving means exports, re-entry and a migration project. | Only the quality of the work. Your sealed documents rebuild your books at any time, in FinStat or anywhere else. |
| Who runs it | You, in the vendor's app. The AI and the MCP server sit at the edge of it. | Your AI. It decides what to do itself and what to hand FinStat. |

03 / What we hold to
Four principles.
No monthly or seat fees.
You pay for the work FinStat does — nothing for holding your data, nothing per user, nothing per client.
Your AI does the small work.
We want and expect your AI to handle the many small tasks itself, and to package the heavy work and submit it to FinStat, saving you time.
Your AI decides.
What gets handed to FinStat is your AI's call, by design. FinStat is built to be available to your workflow, not to define it.
