About BurnRateIQ
BurnRateIQ (BRIQ for short) builds a startup's monthly financial model and operating plan from its books, and exports it to Excel with live formulas investors can audit. It is for founders getting ready to raise.
What It Does
A monthly financial model and operating plan for your company: revenue, team, expenses, cash and runway. BRIQ starts from your accounting system, your financial statements, your existing model or six quick questions, and fills any gaps with benchmarks for your stage.
It shows runway, net burn, burn multiple, the cash-zero date and when to start raising, and compares your growth, retention and margin with published benchmarks for your ARR band. As your books close each month, the plan updates with the actuals.
Live today: Xero, Zoho Books and FreshBooks for accounting. Coming soon: QuickBooks Online, Stripe, Gusto and Deel (waiting on each provider's approval), plus Wave, NetSuite, Chargebee, Paddle, Remote and OnPay. Without any of them, you can upload your P&L and balance sheet, upload your existing model or answer six quick questions. Until a payroll system connects, upload a payroll register or add people on Headcount.
No. Every connection to your accounting, billing and payroll systems is read-only: BRIQ pulls your actuals and never writes back. You can disconnect any system at any time, and syncing from it stops.
Who Runs It
BurnRateIQ is built and run by Yoni Rubin, founder. He also writes the BurnRateIQ blog.
Where the Numbers Come From
Your model comes from your own books, statements or answers. The benchmarks it compares you with are published aggregates (medians and quartiles) from public reports by SaaS Capital, High Alpha, Benchmarkit, ChartMogul, Carta and others. The full library, with every source and date, is on SaaS Benchmarks. No benchmark uses a BurnRateIQ customer's data. The glossary defines each metric the way the app calculates it.
How the Blog Checks Its Facts
Every figure in an article links to its source, and each article lists its sources at the end. Some articles start as drafts written with AI from published research. Before one can publish, automated checks require a source link in every paragraph that states a percentage, dollar figure or median, at least three sources whose links load, and a short answer and FAQ that use only numbers the article states.
