Who Uses FCAC
From the CFO tracking burn rate to the lab manager watching reagent costs, FCAC gives every stakeholder the financial visibility they need.
CFO / VP Finance
Pain: R&D spend is buried across departments with no audit trail linking expenses to projects.
With FCAC: Real-time burn rate, automated R&D tax credit capture, and audit-ready reporting in one view.
R&D Director
Pain: Project budgets live in spreadsheets that are outdated by the time anyone reads them.
With FCAC: Live project financials, milestone tracking, and resource allocation tied to actual spend.
Project Manager
Pain: Chasing receipts and timesheets across five tools just to close out a quarter.
With FCAC: One system for transactions, timesheets, and milestone sign-offs with full audit history.
Lab Manager
Pain: Reagent costs are invisible until the budget is already blown.
With FCAC: Inventory tied to project budgets with real-time consumption tracking and reorder alerts.
Investor / Board Member
Pain: Quarterly reports lack the financial granularity to assess burn efficiency.
With FCAC: On-demand investor dashboards with funding waterfall, burn rate, and runway projections.

See How Data Flows
Every module feeds into every other. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Formulation to Finance
Scenario: A nano-drug formulation project consumes $12K in polymers this quarter.
Data flow: Inventory consumption flows into project costs, updates burn rate, and flags the spend as R&D tax-credit eligible.
Grant Compliance
Scenario: An NIH SBIR grant restricts equipment purchases to Phase I activities.
Data flow: FCAC tracks the restriction, warns when a transaction is allocated against a restricted category, and generates grant compliance reports.
Investor Reporting
Scenario: Your Series A lead wants a monthly burn update with project-level detail.
Data flow: One click generates a branded investor report with burn rate, runway, milestone progress, and funding waterfall, sourced entirely from live data.
Audit Preparation
Scenario: Your tax advisor needs R&D credit documentation for the annual filing.
Data flow: FCAC exports a complete package: qualifying expenditures, project narratives, four-part test mapping, and supporting transaction records.
