Ask

"I make handmade soaps. My cost per bar is $3. What should I charge?"

Get

Returns a price range based on artisan soap benchmarks ($8 to $14 per bar at craft markets, $12 to $20 in boutiques), with notes on packaging, weight, and how scent complexity changes perceived value.

Ask

"How should I price my freelance writing services?"

Get

Asks about your niche, experience, and target client. Returns rates by model: hourly ($50 to $150 for B2B content writers), per-word ($0.10 to $1.00 depending on industry), and project-based. Explains when each model fits.

Ask

"How do I calculate the break-even point for my yoga studio in Denver?"

Get

Builds a break-even view from your fixed costs (rent, instructor fees, software, insurance) and variable margin per class. Returns the monthly class count needed to cover costs, and a sensitivity check on what happens if attendance is 20 percent below target.

Limitations

When to consult a professional.

Finance Assistant recommends an accountant or fractional CFO for contracts with enterprise clients, regulated industries with pricing rules (healthcare, financial services), international pricing with currency and tax implications, complex sales tax setups, and any financial decision involving more than $50,000 in committed spend.
