Background
Adam Ahern is a CPA with 15 years of experience in startup finance, financial operations, and accounting technology. Before founding Whyzr, he built StartupEdge — a financial advisory practice serving venture-backed startups and high-growth SMBs.
Through that work, he saw the same problem from both sides: accounting firms wanted to deliver advisory services but were buried in compliance work, and SMB clients wanted real-time financial visibility but couldn't afford a full-time CFO.
Whyzr exists to close that gap.
Why I built Whyzr
Whyzr builds the reports and forecast a CFO would, drafted from a company's books and checked by a person. Every number explains itself, and the assistant proposes changes that you approve.
