# Accose

*/Startups/Accose*

## Startup Overview

This system reconciles merchant payout data directly against bank settlements. Finance teams managing high-volume digital transactions face a constant misalignment between what payment gateways report and the actual cash deposited, leading to hours of manual ledger adjustments and delayed financial closes.

Unlike legacy close-management software such as BlackLine and FloQast that require extensive workflow configuration, or error-prone manual Excel tracking, this platform executes reconciliation fully autonomously. It ingests payout reports from payment processors, matches individual transaction records to bulk bank deposits, and instantly isolates discrepancies without human intervention.

The architecture aligns its cost directly with transaction scale by pricing purely on reconciled volume. Finance departments pay only for the exact data matched and cleared, eliminating the need for expensive seat licenses and rigid annual software contracts.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that reconciles merchant payout data against bank settlements
**Competitors**:

- [FloQast](/Competitors/FloQast)
- [Manual Excel tracking](/Competitors/Manual_Excel_tracking)
**Differentiator2x2**: fully autonomous in execution and priced purely by reconciled volume

## 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 shadow run: Ingest a merchant's previous month of Shopify and Stripe transaction payloads to prove the engine categorizes 100% of fees and identifies trailing batch deposits with penny-exact accuracy.
- 14-day complex holdback test: Connect a merchant's custom proprietary order database to validate that Accose correctly parses reserve balance arrays and generates exact matching journal entries for complex rolling reserves.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Reduction in month-end payout reconciliation time from three days to under two hours.
- Target: 100% automatic categorization and mapping of standard processor fees and chargebacks.
- Aim: Zero manual spreadsheet interventions required for standard Shopify and Stripe settlement workflows.
- Aim: Zero unflagged discrepancies caused by the parsing engine across all settled batches.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market Shopify merchant processing 50,000 monthly transactions eliminates a three-day manual month-end reconciliation process, replacing it with an automated daily many-to-one batch matching workflow that outputs precise journal entries.
- A high-volume omni-channel retailer processing over 250,000 monthly transactions successfully maps multiple payment gateway schemas to their proprietary order database, completely automating complex reserve holdbacks and chargeback categorizations.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Controller at a mid-market e-commerce brand validating that Accose's many-to-one matching algorithm permanently solves the headache of grouping multiple days of settlements into a single bank deposit.
- VP of Finance at a high-volume direct-to-consumer retailer expressing relief that automatic schema drift detection keeps the daily reconciliation runs from breaking when payment gateways change report formats.
- Accounting Manager at a multi-gateway retail brand confirming that the automated parsing of reserve balance arrays produces perfectly accurate holdback journal entries without manual calculation.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major payment processors or banks revoke API access or change settlement data formats, breaking the core ingestion engine. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Large merchants reject the variable volume-based pricing model in favor of predictable flat-rate contracts offered by incumbents. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Edge-case transaction anomalies trigger false-positive matches, forcing manual intervention and nullifying the fully autonomous differentiator. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like BlackLine release specialized merchant-payout modules to their existing enterprise install base, blocking upmarket expansion. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
