Why we built Paci
Abdul Ghafoor Fazal, despite his finance background and years at EY consulting across government and large corporates, faced real challenges managing his own business finances once he stepped into full-time entrepreneurship. Even outsourcing didn’t solve it, often leaving him behind on critical financial matters.
In conversations with other founders, including Gulnar Basheer, a finance lead at a prominent startup, he realised he wasn’t alone. Many struggled with fragmented data, the high cost of expert talent, and outdated accounting systems.
Financial data is scattered across accounting software, banks, online stores, and spreadsheets. Due to budget constraints, less experienced teams often handle it, causing slow manual processes and delays in getting crucial insights. Traditional systems, built for record-keeping, rarely present data in an entrepreneur-friendly way.
Recognising this, they introduced Paci, integrating AI with real-time data and the expertise of finance professionals, so business owners get accurate, timely, founder-friendly numbers and can make decisions without dreading their finances.
