We built ALFRD because the first weeks of finance work should not be data archaeology.
We kept watching the same thing happen: experienced finance professionals spending their first weeks on a new engagement just figuring out what's wrong with the data. Not advising. Not analysing. Just cleaning.
Financial decisions are only as good as the data behind them. Most of that data has not been checked. We're fixing that.
