Hiring a CFO in Poland: PLN 18,000-32,000/month. For most businesses, that's the entire margin of a small product line. Inratio gives you 80% of what a CFO delivers — for a fraction of the cost, working 24/7.
An honest comparison — both have a role.

Margin, cash flow, top leaks — automatic Wednesday pulse. CFO would do this manually in monthly meetings.
Food cost up 1.8pp vs last week? Inratio pushes the alert. CFO would catch it at month-end.
Rolling 13-week forecast. CFO would build this in Excel and update quarterly.
KSeF approval flow, audit trail, anomaly detection. CFO would supervise but not execute.
Inratio replaces 70-90% of what a CFO does for a business in Poland — weekly financial pulse, KPI monitoring, alerts, cash flow forecast, KSeF workflow. What stays human: strategic M&A, IPO prep, bank negotiations, due diligence. For 80% of businesses, this is enough — they don't need M&A advisory daily.
Senior CFO: PLN 24,000-32,000/month + bonuses + benefits = real cost PLN 35,000-45,000/month. Junior CFO/Finance Manager: PLN 14,000-22,000/month. Outsourced CFO services (consultants): PLN 5,000-15,000/month. Inratio: a fraction of even outsourced — paying for software, not a person.
Outsourced CFOs work in scheduled hours. You wait for the next meeting to see your numbers. Inratio works 24/7 — you see the same data instantly, when it changes. Use both: keep an outsourced CFO for quarterly strategy sessions, use Inratio for the other 98% of the time.
Inratio doesn't sign documents, doesn't represent your company before tax authorities, doesn't replace a chief accountant. It's an operational dashboard + workflow. For statutory CFO duties (where required), you may still need a Finance Director — but the time they spend per month drops from full-time to 5-10 hours.
Yes — that's the design. Your accountant continues doing accounting (bookkeeping, tax filings, payroll). Inratio reads their data and adds the management layer. No replacement needed.
