What We Do

Accounting built
for growing businesses

VARISUM handles the full accounting function for SMEs, startups, and international companies. We keep your books accurate, your reports timely, and your business prepared for tax season, investors, and growth.

Whether you are a founder in your first year or a CEO managing entities across borders — we give you accounting infrastructure that matches where you are going, not just where you are.

Monthly Bookkeeping

We keep your books accurate and up to date every month — reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and a clean general ledger, always ready for review.

Management Accounts

Monthly management accounts give you a clear view of your P&L, balance sheet, and cash position — the information founders and managers actually need to make decisions.

Financial Reporting

Board-ready financial reports, investor-standard packages, and statutory accounts — prepared accurately and on time, every period.

Tax-Readiness Coordination

We keep your books tax-ready year-round, coordinating with your tax advisors or handling the process directly so there are no surprises at filing time.

Cross-Border Accounting

Operating in multiple countries? We coordinate multi-currency bookkeeping, intercompany accounts, and local compliance across your entire entity structure.

Startup Accounting Setup

Just incorporated? We set up your chart of accounts, accounting software, and financial controls from day one — so your numbers are structured for growth and investment.

“We wanted accounting that actually helped us understand our business — not just compliance paperwork. VARISUM gives us real numbers every month.”

Why VARISUM

Accounting that
works for your business

Most businesses outgrow DIY bookkeeping fast — but traditional firms are slow, expensive, and built for compliance, not clarity. VARISUM is built differently: a dedicated team, clean deliverables, and accounting that helps you run your business.

FAQ

Common questions

Not covered here? Email us at global@varisum.com and we will respond within one business day.

How quickly can you take over our accounting?

Most clients are fully onboarded within 5–10 business days. We handle the transition, including bringing any backlog up to date.

Do we need to switch accounting software?

Not necessarily. We work with most major platforms including QuickBooks, Xero, and others. If your current software is not working for you, we will recommend the right option.

What does a monthly management accounts package include?

A P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and plain-English commentary — delivered by the 10th of the following month. Board packs are available on request.

Do you work with companies in multiple countries?

Yes. We coordinate accounting across multiple entities and jurisdictions, working with local accounting firms where required and producing consolidated group accounts.

How is pricing structured?

We provide a clear written proposal based on your business size and scope. Pricing is monthly, with no long-term contracts required.

What happens in the first month?

We complete a full accounting assessment, bring your books up to date, set up or audit your chart of accounts, and deliver your first monthly report.

Our Approach

Accounting done right,
every month

We started VARISUM because too many founders and SME owners were getting accounting that was technically correct but completely useless for running their business. We do it differently.

Clarity over complexity

Your management accounts should be readable by any founder or business owner — not just an accountant. We write commentary, flag issues, and explain the numbers in plain language every month.

Accuracy before speed

We do not cut corners to hit a deadline. Every reconciliation, every balance, every figure is checked before it reaches you. You can rely on the numbers we give you.

Built for your stage

A pre-revenue startup and a 50-person SME have different accounting needs. We tailor our service to what your business actually requires — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Your team extends ours

We work as an extension of your business, not as an external supplier. Your VARISUM accountant knows your company, your industry, and your specific situation.
