Non-Finance Founders: Keeping Clean Books with Just a Phone

For non-finance founders, “keeping clean books” often sounds like a luxury—something only possible with a full-time accountant. In reality, the right workflow and tools can turn it into a 5-minute daily habit—even from your phone. Whether you’re running an F&B outlet, online store, clinic, or creative agency, here’s how to stay financially organised without ever opening a spreadsheet, powered by ccMonet.

1. Start With What You Already Do—Take Photos

Forget scanning, emailing, or data entry. Each time you receive an invoice, bill, or receipt, simply:

• Snap a photo using your phone camera, or
• Forward the email to your ccMonet address.

AI instantly reads and categorises every detail—supplier, date, amount, currency—turning paper clutter into clean, structured data.
No accounting knowledge required, and nothing gets lost.

2. Let AI Keep the Books, Not You

Traditional bookkeeping requires coding expenses into accounts manually.
With ccMonet, AI automatically:

• Classifies transactions under the right expense or income category.
• Detects duplicates and flags missing entries.
• Reconciles receipts with payments once they hit your bank account.

It’s like having an invisible finance assistant that works while you’re running your business.

3. Know Your Numbers at a Glance

Open your ccMonet dashboard anytime from your phone to see:

• Today’s cash balance across accounts.
• Sales, expenses, and profit trends.
• Outstanding invoices and upcoming bills.

No need to message your accountant for updates—you can check your financial health as easily as checking social media.

4. Stay Compliant Automatically

For Singapore founders juggling GST, payroll, and compliance deadlines, ccMonet keeps you one step ahead:

• GST-tagged transactions are tracked automatically.
• Receipts are time-stamped and audit-ready.
• Reports export cleanly for IRAS, banks, or investors.

Even if you’re not fluent in accounting terms, your data stays fully compliant and transparent.

5. Collaborate Without Email Chaos

If you work with a part-time accountant or remote team:

• They can review your transactions directly in ccMonet.
• You can approve reimbursements or payments from your phone.
• Every change is logged—no WhatsApp threads or version confusion.

Finance collaboration stays organised, even when your team isn’t in the same place.

6. From Guessing to Knowing

Once your books are clean, ccMonet’s AI Insights helps you see beyond the numbers:

• Which customers or products generate the most profit.
• When cash flow will tighten based on upcoming bills.
• How your costs change month by month.

It’s the kind of clarity founders rarely get without a CFO—but now it fits in your pocket.

You don’t need to “do accounting.” You just need to stay consistent.
With ccMonet, every photo, email, or transaction automatically builds into clean, compliant books—ready for reports, investors, or audit season.

All from your phone. No spreadsheets. No stress.
