For Funded Startups & SaaS

Your investors expect clean books.
Your runway depends on knowing the numbers.

Accrew gives Hong Kong startups and SaaS companies a complete finance function — burn tracking, MRR/ARR reporting, board-ready financials, and IRD compliance — from HKD 12,000/month.

The Finance Problems
Every Startup Recognises

Fundraising

"Our data room took three weeks to build — and the VC still found errors"

Investors expect clean, auditable financials. If your books are behind or inconsistent, due diligence surfaces it quickly and kills momentum at the worst time.

Runway visibility

"I know roughly how long our runway is. But I'm not confident in the number"

Back-of-envelope burn estimates aren't good enough when you're deciding whether to hire, when to raise, and how aggressively to grow. You need exact numbers, current.

Board reporting

"Board meetings eat the whole week before because the numbers aren't ready"

Preparing board decks from scratch every month—manually pulling data, reconciling discrepancies, formatting tables—is a time sink that pulls the founding team away from building.

HK compliance

"We set up in Hong Kong because it was easy. Then the compliance started"

IRD profits tax, MPF for every employee, employer returns, and an annual audit requirement. Miss the deadlines and the penalties compound. Most founders learn this the hard way.

Deferred revenue

"We have annual contracts but my P&L doesn't reflect how the business actually performs"

SaaS and subscription businesses need proper revenue recognition — recognising income when it's earned, not when cash arrives. Without it, your margins look wrong to every investor.

Hiring decisions

"We brought in a full-time finance hire too early. It wasn't worth it at our stage"

A qualified bookkeeper in Hong Kong costs HKD 25–35k/month before MPF and benefits. Before Series A, that headcount rarely earns its keep. Outsource the function, not the oversight.

Everything a Growing Startup
Needs from Finance

Monthly close + management accounts

Full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow delivered each month with written commentary — not just numbers, but what they mean for the business.

Burn rate & cash runway tracking

Weekly visibility into your cash position, current burn, and months of runway remaining — updated from your bank feed, not reconstructed at month-end.

MRR/ARR reporting & cohort analysis

New MRR, expansion, churn, and net revenue retention tracked each month. The SaaS metrics your investors and board actually ask for.

Deferred revenue & revenue recognition

Proper treatment of annual subscriptions and upfront payments — so your P&L reflects economic performance, not cash timing.

Investor & board-ready reporting

Financials formatted for investor updates and board decks, ready to share. Data room preparation on request — audit-ready from day one.

Xero / QuickBooks setup & integration

Bank feeds, Stripe, payment processors, payroll systems — all connected and reconciled automatically so the numbers are always current.

Hong Kong compliance (IRD, MPF, employer returns)

Annual profits tax preparation, MPF administration for all employees, employer returns, and audit coordination. Every deadline, every year.

Fundraising financial package (add-on)

3-year financial model, cap table integration, due diligence data room, and investor FAQ prep when you're preparing for a raise.

Most Startups Start

Things Founders Usually Ask

Do you work with pre-revenue startups?

Yes. Pre-revenue businesses still have transactions — payroll, software subscriptions, R&D expenses — and setting up clean books early saves significant cleanup cost later. We can start from incorporation.

We have a Cayman/BVI holding structure. Can you handle that?

Multi-entity structures with a Hong Kong operating subsidiary are common for VC-backed companies. We handle the HK entity's books and can coordinate with your offshore structure for consolidated reporting.

What if our transaction volume grows rapidly?

We'll flag it before it becomes a problem and re-scope accordingly. No surprise invoices — any changes are discussed and agreed in advance.

Do you handle equity and option accounting?

We prepare the books and flag equity events (new shares, option grants, conversions) for proper treatment. Complex option pool accounting can be handled as an add-on.

We're already partway through the year with messy books. Can you still help?

Yes — historical cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping is available as a one-off project before we move into the ongoing monthly service. We'll scope it after the initial call.
