For startups

# Know where your money is. Without asking anyone.

Most founders have someone doing the accounts and still can't see where the company stands until weeks after the month ends. Closio keeps the books, closes the month in days instead of weeks, and lets you ask your financials anything, with the source behind every number.

## Why founders still don't trust their numbers

Because the accounts are kept by hand and reported late. Even with a finance person or an outside accountant, numbers arrive weeks after the month ends, mistakes surface at audit time, and every question means waiting for someone to pull a spreadsheet.

“We have an accountant, and I still don't know where we stand.”

✓Ask Closio in plain English, any day, and get the answer with the bill or bank line behind it.

“Closing the month takes weeks.”

✓The close runs in days: bank matched, every check run, statements prepared. Your team only handles what's flagged.

“Mistakes turn up at audit time.”

✓Duplicate bills, GST credit mismatches and unmatched bank lines are flagged as they happen, not at year end.

“Every question means waiting for a spreadsheet.”

✓Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow for any date, ready without asking anyone.

“When our finance person left, so did the know-how.”

✓Closio remembers how your company books things, so nothing depends on one person.

“We paid a GST late fee, and a vendor twice.”

✓Every due date tracked, and bills entered twice are held before anyone pays them.

## Startup accounting questions

### We already have an accountant. Why do we need Closio?

Your accountant keeps the review, filing and sign-off. Closio does the data entry, bank matching and checks underneath, so the close takes days instead of weeks and you can see your numbers whenever you want.

### Can I ask Closio questions about my company's finances?

Yes. Ask in plain English, such as how much cash you had on a date or who your biggest customer is, and Closio answers from your ledgers with the source of every figure.

### How much does it cost?

₹8,999 a month for one company, plus GST. It covers the monthly close, bank matching, GST and TDS workings and yearly accounts, with onboarding by our team.

### Do I still need a CA?

Yes, for your audit, income tax return and sign-off. Closio does the bookkeeping and preparation, so your CA reviews finished work instead of doing data entry.

### We use Tally or Zoho. Do we have to switch?

No. Closio imports from Tally, Zoho Books and Google Sheets, so you can move over fully or keep your current software while Closio does the close.

### How do I know the numbers are right?

Fixed rules do the arithmetic, not AI guesses, and every figure links to the bill or bank line behind it. When two sources disagree, Closio flags it instead of guessing.
