Welcome to Radley Finance

From a blank spreadsheet to a model you can defend — what Radley Finance does, and who it's for.

What is Radley Finance?

Radley Finance is a financial modeling platform built for startup founders. It helps you plan your numbers, pressure-test them against investor benchmarks, and produce an investor-grade financial model — without starting from a blank spreadsheet.

What Can You Do With Radley Finance?

Build a Model Purpose-Built for Your Business

Five business types are available today, each with its own driver logic:

  • SaaS - Subscription software, built around recurring revenue, churn, and ARPU
  • Marketplace - Two-sided platforms, built around GMV, take rate, and supply/demand liquidity
  • Hardware - Physical products, built around units, product costs, inventory, and warranty
  • Services - Agencies and consultancies, built around team capacity and utilization
  • Ecommerce - Online retail, built around orders, repeat customers, and inventory

Start Free, Upgrade When You Raise

Radley is freemium, with two tiers for every business type:

  • Free: Planning - The guided planning wizard, a five-year annual P&L and key statements in the browser, market sizing, a defensibility check, and a suggested-raise teaser. Plan for free, forever.
  • Build It Yourself - The full investor-grade model: a 60-month engine with monthly and annual statements, scenarios, an Excel data room, an investor deck and memo, Q&A prep, rehearsal, and the AI model assistant. Your planning answers carry forward when you upgrade.

Start However Suits You

  • Start planning - Answer guided discovery questions from scratch
  • Describe your business - Tell us what you sell, your pricing, customers, and goals in plain language, and we turn it into starter assumptions
  • Create from existing - Upload a spreadsheet, pitch deck, or financial plan (.xlsx, .xls, .csv, .pdf, .pptx) and we extract assumptions from it. Import from Xero is coming soon.

Get Automated Insights

  • Review tab - Automatic checks with a health score, benchmark comparisons, and a list of the defaults a VC will challenge first
  • Insight cards - Defensibility score, suggested raise, and CFO notes that recompute as you edit
  • Q&A Prep - Anticipated investor questions with answers grounded in your model's numbers
  • Rehearsal - Practice defending your own numbers against investor-style questions
  • Ask AI - A model assistant you can chat with about your assumptions and outputs
