[ NOTE: WHY_WE_LOVE_PARALLEL ]

Parallel bridges the gap between early-stage startups that can't afford a full-time CFO and the critical financial insights they need to scale confidently. While most finance tools are just dashboards, Parallel combines AI automation with fractional CFO oversight to deliver live, audit-ready forecasts that keep founders informed and investors confident. Their focus on headcount planning - the biggest cost driver for startups - shows deep understanding of what early-stage companies actually need.
