Built around how your industry gets paid.
A startup burning investor money, an agency billing retainers, a shop settling cash on delivery and a studio invoicing New York do not have the same books. The entries, the reconciliations and the report all follow the money, so they should follow yours.
Tech startups and software companies.
Subscription revenue, investor updates and payroll for engineers, often with money arriving in dollars and being spent in taka. The books have to serve two readers at once: you, and the investor who will one day read them line by line.
- Subscription and contract revenue recorded so what is earned and what is merely collected stay distinct.
- Dollar inflows and taka spending kept straight, account by account, at the rates that actually applied.
- Statements and a model that investor diligence can read, tied to your actuals.
- Burn and runway visible every month, not recalculated in a panic before each board call.
Raising money? And if you are a registered startup, read how the zero turnover tax leans on these same records in our note on the Finance Act changes.
Agencies and service businesses.
Marketing agencies, development shops, consultancies and studios sell people and time. The month can look profitable in total while two clients quietly lose money, and nobody can see which two.
- Profit by client and by project, not one number for the whole month.
- Retainers, milestones and unbilled work recorded for what they are.
- The TDS your clients deduct tracked invoice by invoice, so the bank reconciles to what you actually billed.
This is most of what the monthly reports page is about.
E-commerce and F-commerce.
Selling on your own site, on Daraz, or over Facebook and WhatsApp, and getting paid by bKash, Nagad, card and cash on delivery. More ways to get paid means more places for the numbers to quietly stop agreeing.
- Courier cash-on-delivery settlements reconciled batch by batch, so cash collected matches what was actually delivered.
- Marketplace commissions and gateway fees recorded, so the margin you see is real, not the gross.
- Returns and refunds handled in the books the way they happen in reality.
- Inventory that agrees with what is actually on the shelf.
Start with the bookkeeping work.
Businesses selling abroad.
Software services, BPO, design and consulting sold to foreign clients, with income arriving in dollars through banks, Wise or Payoneer. The recording has to hold up twice: once for you, and once for anyone who later asks you to show the export proceeds.
- Foreign-currency receipts recorded against the right invoices, at the rates that applied.
- Bank, Wise and Payoneer inflows reconciled to contracts and invoices, month by month.
- Records kept so a question about export proceeds has something to read, whoever asks it.
Owned from abroad instead? That is a page of its own.
