AED 30k+
A seasoned CFO is out of reach
A full-time finance leader costs AED 30–50k+ a month, and takes three to six months to hire and get up to speed.
CANOPY CFO Now live for businesses in the UAE
The CFO your business deserves, at a fraction of the cost.
Canopy CFO connects to your ERP, spreadsheets and bank statements, and gives founders a CFO's view of cash, margin and risk every day, with clear advice on what to do next. Every figure is calculated from your own data, then checked by a finance expert.
Bank-reconciled cashReviewed by a finance expert weeklyYour data never trains AI
Built and trained by a finance leader with 17 years of experience across KPMG, SAS and Barclaycard.
The problem
Founders run the business. Too often, the numbers run them.
Rising costs, late payers, expensive capital and currency swings squeeze cash, and most growing businesses find out after the damage is done.
Month-end
Decisions wait for the close
Reports get rebuilt by hand in spreadsheets, so problems show up on the P&L weeks after they could have been fixed.
Too late
Cash surprises arrive without warning
A shortfall is usually visible weeks ahead in the data, but nobody is looking at it until payroll or a supplier run is at risk.
Cost benchmark: UAE SME finance-leader packages, 2026 market data.
