Compass AI gives fractional CFOs a multi-client dashboard with AI analysis and board-ready reports. TreasuryFlow does the same multi-client cash rollup — and delivers it inside the Excel template each CFO and each client’s board already trusts. A native Excel Add-in, not another web tab. Live bank feeds via Plaid, from $49/mo.

Both serve the multi-client fractional CFO well. The deciding question is where you and your clients’ boards want the numbers to live.
Both consolidate every client’s cash into one place for a fractional CFO. The difference is delivery. Compass AI is a web dashboard — you log into Compass to see your clients. TreasuryFlow delivers the same multi-client rollup inside a native Microsoft Excel Add-in and Google Sheets Add-on, so each client’s live cash position lands in the spreadsheet model the CFO and the client’s board already use. Both connect bank data via Plaid and read QuickBooks; TreasuryFlow’s distinguishing capability is the Excel-native delivery and the ability to rebuild a CFO’s own uploaded workbook layout.
Compass AI is a web application. It can export board-ready reports, but it does not offer a native Excel Add-in or Google Sheets Add-on that places live cash data into a spreadsheet. TreasuryFlow does — the Excel Add-in appears as a task pane inside your existing workbooks and refreshes live balances and the 13-week forecast in the cells of the template you built.
Compass AI is published at $49 per month. TreasuryFlow’s Firm plan for fractional CFOs is $99 per active client per month — billed only for clients you are actively managing, with no charge for inactive accounts. The two are priced on different models. TreasuryFlow is positioned as a premium Excel-native workstation, not a low-cost dashboard; the per-client price reflects per-client value — a deterministic 13-week forecast and a branded weekly briefing the CFO can hand to each client’s board.
Yes. TreasuryFlow’s Firm plan is built for the multi-client book. Every client’s bank accounts connect via Plaid, every client’s cash rolls up into one workstation, and each client gets a deterministic 13-week forecast plus a branded weekly cash briefing. The same numbers can be pulled into Excel for the clients whose boards work in spreadsheets.
TreasuryFlow uses AI for transaction categorization and anomaly detection, and it includes a natural-language treasury assistant. The forecast itself is deterministic — the same query returns the same number every time, which is what a CFO needs to hand a board. Compass AI leads with AI analysis and recommendations; TreasuryFlow uses AI where it helps and keeps the forecast audit-grade.
