# Parallel (Get Parallel)

> Parallel is financial planning software for startup founders. It turns your
> accounting into a live, trustworthy financial model so you can forecast runway,
> plan hires, and prep to fundraise — with AI that supports your decisions, not
> one that runs the model for you. Built for seed–Series A SaaS founders
> (sometimes called an FP&A tool).
