Target keywords
Objections & responses
“We already have an accountant.”
Response: StartupCFO can work alongside an existing accountant or take over entirely; most clients find ClariFi plus the finance team replaces their current setup at a lower cost with better outcomes.
“Can I trust AI with my financials?”
Response: ClariFi outputs are drafts: every board pack, alert, and answer is reviewed and signed off by your accountant, CPA, or CFO before it reaches you, combining automation speed with human accuracy.
“It is too early or too expensive for us.”
Response: Plans start at $129/mo with a 45-day free trial, no credit card, and no contracts — far below the $2K-$5K/mo of a CPA firm or $60K-$200K+/yr of an in-house hire.
“Switching finance providers is painful.”
Response: You can be live on ClariFi within 48 hours and full book migration typically takes under a week, with no penalties or migration fees and data carried forward.
