What founders ask us

“How much runway do we actually have — and what would two more hires do to it?”

Most founders can't answer this without rebuilding the model. By the time the spreadsheet catches up, the hire is already booked. CentSight tags every transaction the day it happens and answers runway questions in plain English — including what-if scenarios for hires, raises, and pricing changes.

What it looks like

The view your board started asking for.

Click through the tabs. Every panel is the actual product.

Runway you can trust — not last quarter's average.

Every Plaid transaction, every vendor bill, every payroll run is normalized into a live runway number. The figure on your last board deck was already drifting when it shipped. CentSight's number is right when you look — and right again an hour later.

How it works

From connected books to a runway number.

  1. Step 1: Connect QuickBooks

    QuickBooks, Plaid bank feeds, Stripe — connected in 5 minutes. Read-only, observe-only.

  2. Step 2: Live cash & burn

    Cash, gross burn, net burn, runway — auto-recalculated on every transaction.

  3. Step 3: Drill into what changed

    Headcount, cloud, contractors, GTM — every burn movement is tagged. Answer comes in plain English.

  4. Step 4: Export for your board

    PDF and CSV exports are always current and reconcile to the ledger. No rebuild night.

What founders get back

Confidence in the number. Time back. Better hiring calls.

10 hrs/mo

Don't take our word for it

“I was spending $8K a month on a fractional CFO and still had to wait until the 15th to see my numbers. CentSight gives me better data in real time. I cancelled the engagement within a week.”

Sarah Mehta

CEO · Series A startup · 32 employees

“We caught a $14K/mo headcount creep two months before the next raise. That extended runway by a quarter — at zero effort.”

Marcus Patel

Founder & CEO · Seed-stage SaaS · 18 employees

“The board started asking different questions because the numbers were always current. We stopped debating data and started making decisions.”

Common questions

Answers, before you ask.

How does the 14-day free trial work?
Connect QuickBooks and your bank in under 5 minutes. Full product access for 14 days, including live runway and burn Signals. We ask for a credit card up front so the move into a paid plan is one click — we don't charge during the trial, and you can cancel anytime.
What happens after the trial?
On day 15 your card is charged the monthly plan you picked during signup. You can change plans or cancel any time before then. We send a reminder email 24 hours before the trial ends.
How is burn rate calculated? Gross or net?
Both, side by side. Gross burn is total monthly spend. Net burn nets revenue against it. The runway number you see is computed on net burn against current cash, with a methodology toggle if your board prefers a different definition.
Does CentSight have access to write data to QuickBooks?
No. CentSight is read-only across every integration. We observe transactions to build live burn and runway — we never post journals, modify invoices, or change any record in your books.
Can my board see the dashboard directly?
Yes. Role-based access lets you give board members or investors read-only access to a specific dashboard (cash, burn, runway, ARR) without exposing the full P&L. Every access action is logged.
What about non-cash items — accruals, deferred revenue, stock comp?
We treat them correctly. Stock comp is excluded from cash burn. Deferred revenue is tracked separately. Accrual-basis books are normalized to cash-basis runway, with a toggle to see both views.
What's the SOC 2 status?
SOC 2 Type II is in progress with an external auditor; Type I report is available under NDA. Production data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We don't store credentials — connectors use OAuth and token rotation.
No risk to look.
