WHATSAPP CFO · PHILIPPINES
Your P&L at 7am, on WhatsApp. No dashboard login. No accountant call.
WhatsApp CFO delivers a structured daily financial brief — cash position, AR aging, payroll status, inventory at risk — to the business owner's phone every morning from your live Orkids data. Included in ₱50K–250K/month ops.
Your accountant works Monday to Friday. Your cash position does not. WhatsApp CFO sends the morning brief every day — including Sunday — directly from your live Orkids ledger.
What this costs you today
Cash position on a Sunday requires calling someone who is off.
For most Philippine SMEs, the owner's cash visibility depends on the bookkeeper's availability — Monday to Friday, office hours. WhatsApp CFO delivers the closing balance and any overnight movement at 7am every day, without a phone call.
AR aging is a spreadsheet someone updates irregularly.
By the time the owner sees the AR aging report, 60-day receivables have become 90-day items on their way to write-off. WhatsApp CFO pulls AR aging from the live Orkids AR ledger daily — overdue counts and totals arrive in the morning brief before the team's working day begins.
BI dashboards require a login and a memory of where the number is.
Xero, QuickBooks, and custom dashboards all require the owner to open an app, log in, and navigate to the right view. On a phone, on a Sunday morning, most owners skip it. A WhatsApp message arrives and is read without any of that.

- QuickBooks Online~US$25–100/month · subscription (Source: Intuit pricing, 2026)

WhatsApp CFO is included in the ₱50K–250K/month Orkids ops tier — no separate product, no messaging fee passed through. A manual daily CFO report built from spreadsheets and sent by a finance staff member costs ₱20K–50K/month in labor and is only as accurate as the spreadsheet it was built from. WhatsApp CFO pulls from the live Orkids ledger; the figure is always current, not last-updated-Thursday.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Your operations team talks to us directly in their language. No translator. No 2-day email chain.
Your account manager sits in Cebu and joins your standups — English, Cebuano, or Tagalog. Senior architecture, AI-assisted build, human review. Custom-built for your business, not shrink-wrapped.
Questions buyers ask.
Cash position, AR aging summary, payroll status (processed, pending, exceptions), inventory at risk (below par or expiring), and any threshold alerts triggered overnight.
The brief is structured, not narrative. Each section is a labeled figure: 'Cash: ₱4.2M as of 11:59pm', 'AR overdue >60 days: ₱320K — 3 accounts', 'Payroll: 94 processed, 6 exceptions'. You read it in 60 seconds. If a line needs action, you know who to call; the brief says which account or which exception, not just that there is one.
WhatsApp Business uses end-to-end encryption in transit. The brief shows summary figures only — no account numbers in full, no employee IDs, no raw supplier data.
The brief format is designed for a personal device, not for audit-grade disclosure. Detailed records — supplier invoices, payroll line items — stay in the Orkids system and are accessed through the authenticated portal. The WhatsApp message is a signal; the full record is a tap away in the portal.
You configure the recipient list during onboarding — typically the owner, the CFO, and one operations head. Each recipient can receive a full or a section-filtered version.
Role-based filtering is set at configuration time and can be adjusted without a code change. The owner receives the full brief including cash and AR. An operations head can receive only the inventory and payroll sections. A branch manager can receive only their branch numbers. Access control is part of the setup, not an afterthought.
Yes. The WhatsApp CFO message comes from a number connected to Ops Copilot. Reply with a question in plain language and get a direct answer from your live data.
This is the same query layer as the Ops Copilot module — WhatsApp is the delivery channel, not a separate system. 'How much did the Davao branch bill last week?' asked via WhatsApp reply returns the same answer as the same question typed in the Ops Copilot interface.
The brief pulls from the Orkids database at generation time — typically 6:30am — using prior-day closing figures and any overnight transactions up to the configured cutoff.
If your operations run overnight — food and beverage, 24-hour retail, logistics — the brief captures transactions up to the cutoff you set. The cutoff can be 11:59pm, 2am, or any hour that reflects your actual closing time. The last-update time is shown in every brief so you know the freshness of each figure.
The brief includes a link to the source record in the Orkids portal. One tap opens the underlying transaction list for any figure that looks off.
If a source record is wrong, the fix is made in the Orkids system — not in the brief. The next morning's brief reflects the corrected figure. For urgent corrections, Ops Copilot lets you pull the corrected number immediately from a WhatsApp reply without waiting for the scheduled brief.
It is included in the ₱50K–250K/month ops tier — not a standalone product, no separate WhatsApp API fee charged to you.
The WhatsApp Business API connection, message formatting, and Ops Copilot integration are built and operated by Orkids. You receive a phone number to add to your contacts. There is no vendor dashboard to manage, no message template approval process to navigate on your side, and no per-message fee.
Yes. Threshold alerts are separate from the daily brief and send immediately when triggered — low cash, overdue AR over a set amount, payroll exception, inventory below par.
Thresholds are set during onboarding and can be adjusted by the operator without a code change. An alert is a single-line message: the value, the threshold crossed, and a link to the source record. The design is one action required — read it and call the right person — not a report to dig through.
