Why I built Claros

I built Claros because I kept running into the same problem: a perfectly capable finance person, stuck maintaining a spreadsheet model that only they understood, spending hours every month-end reformatting outputs before they could go anywhere near a board deck.

Enterprise FP&A platforms exist — but they cost $12,000 a year, take weeks to implement, and require a sales call just to see a demo. They're built for finance teams of five or more. That leaves the solo analyst at a 100-person company completely underserved.

Claros is the tool I wanted to exist: upload your GL export, map three columns, get a board-ready forecast with plan vs. actuals variance in under 10 minutes. Free. No account. No implementation. No sales call.

It's a small tool built to solve a specific, real problem. I hope it saves you a few hours every month.
