What Helm is

A full finance team's brain. Without the overhead.

Every number that matters in one portable view. An AI general manager that cuts through the noise, shows you what to act on, and helps you decide. Backed by a human operator who reviews the numbers with you monthly.

One portable view

Cash, profitability, operations, and risk. All in one view you can take anywhere, updated live.

An always-on AI GM

A daily briefing that cuts decision fatigue: what needs attention, what to do next, and the routine work done for you.

A real operator

A human advisor reviews your numbers monthly and backs you on the big calls. Not just software.

Who it's for

Built for owner-operated businesses.

Businesses at roughly $500K–$5M in revenue, typically 3–50 employees, with no full-time CFO, COO, or controller.

Best-fit signals:

  • The owner wears every hat
  • You hold the whole business in your head, and the decisions wear you down
  • The business runs on spreadsheets, or is flying blind on its numbers
  • Cash is lumpy or seasonal
  • Growing but stretched thin
  • Thinking about hiring, expanding, or planning what's next

Risk & Compliance

Contracts, insurance, licenses, and docs, so nothing expires into a surprise.
