# Accoom

*/Startups/Accoom*

## Startup Overview

This reconciliation engine resolves multi-entity payment gateway payouts directly into ledger-ready journal entries. Finance teams use it to ingest fragmented transaction data from multiple global processors and map those settlements into core accounting systems without manual data entry.

Digital businesses face constant friction reconciling bulk payment payouts against individual transaction records. Instead of relying on manual spreadsheet matching or legacy period-end platforms like BlackLine and FloQast, controllers use this software to execute matching logic at the transaction level. It removes the month-end delay caused by tying out cash deposits to underlying sales records.

The system deploys entirely without IT intervention, allowing finance personnel to connect their payment gateways and enterprise resource planning systems independently. Because it is priced strictly on matched outcomes, the cost structure aligns entirely with successful reconciliation events, replacing rigid software contracts with direct utility.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day historical data pilot: Running Accoom in parallel with the manual close process to prove a 99.9% match rate on the previous month's multi-gateway payout volume.
- 14-day live implementation pilot: Connecting a single primary gateway to prove daily journal generation formats perfectly for the buyer's existing ERP structure without custom IT mapping.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 99.9% match rate between raw gateway payouts and recorded bank deposits
- Aim: 0 unexplained gateway fee variances at month-end close
- Target: Under 48 hours deployment time from gateway connection to first automated journal entry generation
- Aim: 100% elimination of manual Excel-based line-item matching for payout-to-cash reconciliation
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market multi-channel retailer (Shopify and Amazon): Moving from a 5-day manual reconciliation process in Excel to daily automated ledger-ready journal entries mapped directly to NetSuite.
- High-volume single-entity direct-to-consumer brand: Eliminating unexplained gateway fee variances and completely removing IT dependence for standardizing payout data.
- Enterprise e-commerce holding company: Consolidating payout matching across multiple entities and secondary gateways into a single automated pipeline with zero engineering resources.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Finance / Controller: Relief that the accounting team no longer spends the first week of the month untangling bulk bank deposits from complex Stripe and PayPal fees.
- Staff Accountant: Excitement over receiving daily, ledger-ready journal entries automatically mapped to their specific chart of accounts instead of downloading and formatting CSVs.
- Head of Engineering / IT: Satisfaction that the finance department deployed the multi-entity routing tool independently without requiring custom API integration work.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major payment gateways like Stripe or Adyen restrict API read-access to payout metadata, preventing the core engine from generating ledger-ready journals. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Enterprise InfoSec teams block the 'no IT intervention' deployment model due to strict compliance policies governing third-party access to financial systems. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: The outcome-based pricing model destroys unit economics if complex multi-entity payouts require heavy compute but yield a low matched outcome rate. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like BlackLine bundle a basic gateway-to-ledger reconciliation module into their existing enterprise contracts for free, stalling upmarket expansion. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
