Most small business owners do finance in the margins. A quick glance at the bank balance. A spreadsheet when something feels off. A scramble before taxes, payroll, or a big purchase.
B:Side Assist is built for that reality. It connects your financial data, surfaces the signals that matter, and gives you an AI powered financial assistant that turns questions into actionable answers.
Who this is for
What is B:Side Assist
B:Side Assist is an AI powered financial intelligence platform for small businesses. It brings your accounts and transactions into one place, then helps you understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do next.
The goal is simple: fewer surprises, faster decisions, and more confidence when cash is tight and priorities compete.
Core capabilities (what you can do in the product)
Connect and unify your financial data
Link accounts to pull transaction data into a single, usable view of your business. Once data is connected, B:Side Assist can summarize trends, drivers, and recurring activity without manual exporting.
- Account balances and transaction history in one place
- Spending breakdowns that are easy to scan
- Recurring charges and subscription patterns
See the numbers that drive decisions
Dashboards focus on the metrics that shape day to day operations: cash flow, burn, runway, and what is changing week over week.
- Cash flow and trend summaries
- Top categories and merchants by spend
- Quick views that highlight what changed
Get alerts before small issues become big ones
The most expensive problems start quietly. Alerts help you catch subscription creep, unexpected spikes, and liquidity risk early.
- Spend change alerts and anomaly signals
- Recurring expense monitoring
- Cash runway risk signals (based on your trend)
Ask questions in plain English with AI Assist
AI Assist is built into B:Side Assist as an AI financial analyst. It can chain multiple data tools and calculations to answer complex questions with clear reasoning and next steps.
A good default question
Create shareable reporting and summaries
When you need to communicate numbers to a partner, advisor, or team, B:Side Assist helps you package the story clearly. You can generate summaries that are easy to scan and easy to revisit.
- Financial summaries for monthly and quarterly reviews
- Charts and tables created from your data
- Repeatable workflows you can run on a schedule
Work with documents when you need more context
Financial decisions often live inside documents. B:Side Assist supports workflows that help you search, reference, and ask questions about relevant files without losing the thread of your financial analysis.
Why B:Side Assist feels different
Many tools show numbers. B:Side Assist is designed to help you act on them. That means it prioritizes clarity, speed, and grounded answers over dashboards that look impressive but require interpretation.
- Value first UX: you see what matters, fast
- AI that is grounded: AI Assist uses your data and tool outputs to avoid made up numbers
- Decision framing: answers include tradeoffs and next actions, not just summaries
- Small business focus: cash flow, runway, and recurring expenses stay front and center
Get value in your first week (a simple workflow)
- Connect your accounts and confirm recent transactions
- Ask AI Assist for a 90 day health assessment, then follow with "What changed in the last 30 days?"
- Review recurring charges and pick 1 to 3 cleanups that reduce burn
- Set alerts for spikes in key categories and monitor weekly
