Built by a CFO,
not a software company.
Phil has served as President and CFO at three different multi-billion-dollar companies across SaaS, AI, and crypto. Before that, he was an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and a management consultant at McKinsey, both in corporate finance.
He holds an MS in Computer Science from MIT. That combination — the operating experience of someone who has run finance at scale, plus the ability to build — is encoded in every template, every prompt, and every quality standard in the platform.
Across those roles, he saw the same problem everywhere: fractional CFOs doing incredible work, trapped by manual processes and zero institutional memory. Inflect is the fix — a finance function that doesn't break when people change, because the platform is persistent and the human layer is focused on what humans do best.
The context no new hire can replicate fast.
Every financial decision your company makes should be documented, confirmed, and retrievable. When your CFO leaves, the institutional memory shouldn't leave with them.
The durable value is the operating context the platform accumulates: the exact CoA mappings this company uses, how the CEO frames a miss, what the board chair always asks, the running narrative across 12 months of packages. After six months, no new CFO can replicate that fluency in under three months. After twelve months, it's an asset — and it's yours.
The platform generates these records as a byproduct of delivering fractional CFO services. Not as extra work. Not as a feature you have to remember to use. As the natural output of doing the job well.
