The books move when the business does. Invoices, receipts and journal entries fire from real events, not month-end memory.
Event-driven accounting writes the books from real operational events, projects signed, milestones shipped, refunds processed, deposits received, instead of from month-end memory. The engine emits the right artefact for each event: a deposit invoice, a draw-down, a journal entry, a bank match, so the books reconcile to within a day of operations.
We sit with your business. We find the operational problem costing you the most. We build the system that fixes it.
Sales signed a project on Monday. Finance heard about it on Thursday. The invoice went out the following Tuesday, and only if someone remembered. Retainers were missed. Refunds processed without reversing revenue. The founder spent month-end making decisions against numbers a fortnight stale, and the controller was the last one out every Thursday night.
An event-driven accounting layer. Operational systems emit events, projects signed, milestones shipped, refunds processed, deposits received. The engine writes the right artefact: a deposit invoice, a milestone draw-down, a recurring charge, a journal entry, a bank match. Rules are config, not code. The firm can change VAT treatment or cost-centre splits without engineering work.
Books reconcile to within a day of operations. Month-end takes hours instead of weeks. Every entry traces back to the event that produced it. Auditors get answers in seconds. Revenue stops slipping through cracked spreadsheets.
One example, a 12-person consulting firm on UK VAT. Yours would mirror your chart of accounts, tax rules and project taxonomy.

Flip a toggle and re-fire the same event to see different entries land.
