CFO ASSOCIATE

Gina

Finance operator

Agent file / Gina

Meet Gina. She turns your scattered finance stack — into one teammate who turns ledger data into board-ready calls.

Gina is your CFO associate. Behind her is a company brain that remembers every ledger entry, every cash movement, and every board decision — and acts on it. She reads Xero, QuickBooks, and Round, builds the board pack, briefs the morning cash position, pressure-tests the runway, and checks payroll is funded — with every number traced to source. You approve. She runs.

01Meet Gina

Gina lives where your finance team already works.

Message her in Slack or Teams, or run her in Claude. She reads your cash, ledger, invoices, payroll, and forecast across Xero, QuickBooks, and Round — then drafts the board pack, briefs the morning cash position, pressure-tests the runway, and checks payroll is funded. You approve. She runs. Anything that approves or releases money stays yours.

02Inside Gina's Brain

Gina is only as sharp as what she remembers. So we gave her a finance brain.

The Brain is a private, company-owned memory layer behind everything Gina does — every ledger entry, cash movement, invoice, payroll run, and the board decisions you've already made, captured once and reused every close. Not five finance chatbots. One shared brain that compounds.

What feeds it

01

Your accounting ledger (Xero / QuickBooks)

the system of record for P&L, balance sheet, invoices and ageing, read directly with controlled access. Never a stale second copy.

02

Cash & treasury

live bank balances, multi-entity cash, and movement from Round, so the runway number starts from real money instead of a spreadsheet guess.

03

Every board pack & CFO memo

past decisions, reserve policy, and the questions your board actually asks — searchable in plain English and kept current.

04

Bank, AP & AR feeds

receipts, supplier runs, and ageing distilled into what can move, what should wait, and what needs a source check.

05

Payroll & payment runs

funding requirements and release gates, so readiness is checked before anyone approves a payment.

06

Your forecast model & assumptions

the runway model, its formulas and sensitivities, pressure-tested against actuals before the number reaches the board.

Why it's an AI-native memory layer

01

The whole finance picture in one view

cash, ledger, invoices, payroll, and forecast, all linked back to source.

02

Every close gets faster

what Gina learned last month-end, she starts from this month.

03

Numbers stay current, never duplicated

a changed balance or close date updates in place, not in a fifth copy of the deck.

04

Yours, isolated and owned

your finance data, your control, served over MCP so any model plugs in. No lock-in.

04The control mode

Separate QA agents check all numbers and what can publish.

Before anything is final, multiple specialist QA agents check the numbers, the story, the evidence, and the overall CFO usefulness. If something is uncertain or unsupported, the workflow sends it back for revision instead of letting it through.

08FAQ

What teams ask before they hire Gina.

Straight answers for finance leaders weighing up a CFO associate agent.

01What is a CFO associate agent?

A CFO associate agent is an AI teammate that does the associate-level work behind a finance function — building board packs, cash briefs, monthly reviews, payment and payroll readiness checks, and runway diagnostics. Gina reads your accounting and treasury data directly, drafts the finance artifact, and traces every displayed number back to source before a human signs it off.

02What can Gina do for a finance team?

Gina runs five finance workflows: a board pack that turns cash evidence into the liquidity story your board can act on, a 9am CFO cash brief, a monthly financial review, a payment and payroll readiness pack, and a forecast and model diagnostic. Each one starts from your own evidence and passes through QA agents before it can publish.

03Which accounting systems does Gina connect to?

Gina connects to Xero, QuickBooks, and Round. She reads your ledger (P&L, balance sheet, invoices, and ageing) and your live cash and treasury position, so the numbers in every board pack and cash brief come from real money and a real ledger, not a manually maintained spreadsheet.

04Does Gina approve payments or run payroll?

No. Gina prepares readiness packs and evidence checks, but payment, payroll, and cash-release decisions always stay with your finance team. She shows whether cash is there, what is missing, and which decisions still need a human — she never approves or releases money.

05How does Gina make sure the numbers are correct?

Every figure Gina shows is checked by separate QA agents before it can publish. A numerical QA agent recomputes each displayed number from source evidence, a narrative evaluator confirms the story is supported by those audited numbers, and a CFO quality evaluator scores usefulness and unsupported-claim discipline. If anything is uncertain, it is sent back for revision instead of passed through.

06Does Gina work with Claude, Claude Cowork, or ChatGPT Codex?

Yes. Gina runs inside Claude, in the Claude Cowork desktop app, and in ChatGPT Codex. The finance workflows, QA gates, and source-traced outputs are the same across all three — you pick whichever assistant your team already uses. There is also a free five-agent plugin for Claude Cowork you can download.

07Can Gina use our own branded board template?

Yes. Upload your branded PowerPoint board deck and Gina fills only the finance slides. Your brand, legal, intro, appendix, and locked template slides stay untouched, and every edited slide is backed by source evidence and must pass the QA gates before it becomes final.

08Is our financial data kept private?

Yes. Your finance data stays isolated and owned by you, served over MCP so any model can plug in without lock-in. Gina works from your system of record with controlled access — there is no stale second copy of your numbers sitting in another tool.
