What is different about the Sobi solution?
The Sobi solution has been built as a direct result of the experiences of the Founder, Brenda Jordan, in her role of owner of an Outsourced CFO organization based in Dublin. During her 20+ years in this role, supporting small to medium-sized businesses in their growth plans, she relied heavily on excel to gather and analyze a business's performance data in order to give guidance to them on the strategic steps they needed to take. The power of this performance data became painfully evident during the 2008 global recession, from which 99% of Brenda's clients survived, albeit many looking very different, but all ready to grow again.
Around this time, Brenda looked to the market for an automated solution for her and her clients, but there were none suitable. So, she decided to build her own... and so began a long journey that led her to set up Sobi Analytics in 2021.
Through her own experience, and the feedback she has gathered from CFOs, finance professionals and their clients across Ireland, UK, and North America over the years, Brenda and her team realized that an exceptional solution would encompass all the users in the 'organization triangle', using machine learning to add a real richness and depth to data insights. And so that is what they have built.

Reluctant to move from familiar spreadsheets?
Currently, 90% of financial advisors use spreadsheets to gather, analyze and report on data to help their clients make important decisions about their businesses.
This leads to;
- Time-consuming repetitive tasks (typically spending 4-6 hours per client, per month on this work)
- Inefficient processes that are very costly and limit scalability
- High risk of undetected human error
- Missed opportunities for the client as a result of delays in performance visibility
