How ccMonet Helped a Cross-Border Trading Company Achieve 20x Greater Efficiency

Bored Coconut & The Coffee

Customer: Meredith Z., CFO & Co-founder
Location: Thailand
Number of Entities: 10

Meredith is the co-founder and CFO of Bored Coconut & The Coffee, a trading company in Thailand that spans retail, wholesale, import, and export operations. Faced with overwhelming invoice volume and cross-border accounting complexity, she turned to ccMonet to completely transform how her business handles finances.

Empowering Global SMEs to Grow Across Borders

Meredith relocated to Thailand to build a brand that brings specialty coffee and coconut products to local and international markets.

But managing 10 legal entities with activities across retail stores, wholesale deals, and import/export quickly became a daily obstacle course.

Each entity had its own bookkeeping requirements and unique invoice formats. As a foreign entrepreneur in Thailand, Meredith found it difficult to keep receipts organized, reconcile accounts, and produce clear, categorized reports—even while spending huge amounts of time on these tasks.

“I spent so much time just trying to sort through financial data, but I still couldn’t get the level of clarity I needed to make confident decisions.”

The Challenge

When Meredith reached out to ccMonet, she wasn’t looking for simple bookkeeping help. She needed a robust solution that could:

• Process tens of thousands of invoices spanning multiple entities and business models
• Accurately categorize spending across retail, wholesale, import, and export
• Generate reliable, audit-ready financial reports
• Free her to focus on growing the business instead of drowning in admin work

For foreign founders in Thailand, the stakes are even higher: compliance errors can be costly, and local documentation and reporting rules are often hard to navigate.

The Solution

ccMonet delivered a tailored, technology-powered financial management service focused on streamlining and enabling efficiency.

With ccMonet’s tools and support, Meredith’s own two-person team was able to process over 30,000 invoices across 8 entities in just one week.

Here’s how ccMonet made it possible:

• Centralized Invoice Management
  Consolidate and standardize thousands of receipts to eliminate duplicates and errors.
• Automated, Precise Categorization
  Classify spending across retail, wholesale, import, and export lines automatically.
• Investor-Ready Financial Reporting
  Produce clear, reliable, categorized reports that meet audit and stakeholder expectations.
• Reduced Staffing Costs and Overhead
  Avoid hiring multiple full-time accountants while gaining expert-level support.

“cc:Monet basically gave me my time back. I didn’t have to worry about sorting invoices every day, and could finally focus on growing our brand and channels.”

The Impact

With cc:Monet, Meredith’s business achieved a 20x increase in efficiency, turning finance from a manual, error-prone bottleneck into a reliable, streamlined system:

• 20x Efficiency Improvement
  Work that used to take months of manual effort was completed in just one week.
• High Volume with Minimal Headcount
  Just two of her own team members processed over 30,000 invoices for 8 entities.
• Clearer, More Confident Financial Decisions
  Reliable, categorized reports made it easier to plan strategically and talk to investors.

Today, Meredith no longer spends hours every week sorting receipts or reconciling accounts. Instead, she can focus on what matters most: growing Bored Coconut & The Coffee into an even stronger international brand.

“With cc:Monet, I don’t have to worry about the finance back-end anymore. I just focus on the business.”
