Dashboards show status, but not whether the underlying workflow data can support reliable controls.
The 48-hour workflow exception audit
See which accounting work will miss review before the deadline does.
Turn a pseudonymized workflow export into a clear exception map—without replacing Karbon, Financial Cents, Jetpack, QuickBooks, or Xero.

Why this exists
Built around the work competitors leave behind.
Accounting firms and finance teams running recurring close, bookkeeping, payroll, or tax workflows.
Review and evidence fields are inconsistent across templates, so exceptions arrive late.
Implementation projects add another system before the team knows what its data can prove.
The focused promise
A source-linked audit of overdue work, blocked dependencies, review latency, and missing evidence fields.
We deliberately keep judgment, authorization, and consequential decisions with your team. The pilot automates the legwork that can be made observable and repeatable.
- Schema and control-field coverage, scored
- Current overdue, blocked, waiting, and review exceptions
- A prioritized 30-day instrumentation repair plan
Fast path to evidence
Useful before it becomes software.
One bounded workflow. Real output. A clear go/no-go decision.
- 1Step 1
Use the free safe-export checklist to remove client and taxpayer data.
- 2Step 2
Send one customer-normalized, pseudonymized task export after fit review.
- 3Step 3
Receive the fixed-scope report within 48 business hours of schema acceptance.
Hard boundary: No client names, tax records, bank data, documents, credentials, accounting advice, API access, or control certification.
Competitor-review intelligence
Recurring friction became product requirements.
We reviewed dated public operator discussions, preserved the caveats, and converted the repeated pain into design choices. No scraped review-marketplace content and no invented testimonials.
Karbon
Operators valued clear timelines, comments, and templates but described search, mobile, historical-note context, screen clarity, and administrative data discipline as persistent friction.
Our response: Lead with an export-based readiness audit, make exceptions explainable, and avoid requiring a second operational system before value is proven.
See evidence and caveatJetpack Workflow
An operator reported that recurring management reporting required rerunning and manipulating exports rather than refreshing a saved view.
Our response: Test repeatable monthly mapping and a changed-exception report as an explicit retention gate.
See evidence and caveatKarbon · Financial Cents
The discussion contrasted simpler setup with broader capability and repeatedly raised complexity, per-seat economics, and implementation fit for smaller firms.
Our response: Use fixed scope, no per-seat pilot pricing, no connector, and a 48-hour time-to-value promise that is conditional on a safe schema.

Design-partner offer
Workflow Exception Readiness Snapshot
€250 one time
Future monitoring hypothesis: €79 per firm/month. Future pricing is a hypothesis, not a payment commitment.
- Schema and control-field coverage, scored
- Current overdue, blocked, waiting, and review exceptions
- A prioritized 30-day instrumentation repair plan
- Direct access to the small Venthry team
Plain-English risk reversalNo card. If the export fails the published safe schema, we decline it before any work starts.
Small first commitment
See if the pilot fits.
Reserve a nonbinding fit review. No card, operational files, credentials, or customer data belong in this form. We reply personally with the next safe step.
Questions, answered plainly
No hidden implementation story.
Is this workflow software?+
Not yet. The pilot is a genuinely delivered, fixed-scope diagnostic designed to prove whether recurring monitoring is useful before we build a product.
Do you connect to our system?+
No. The first pilot deliberately avoids production connectors and account-wide API access.
What data is rejected?+
Client identities, taxpayer data, messages, documents, financial values, credentials, and free-text notes are rejected.
What happens after the audit?+
You keep the report. If recurring value is proven, design partners can help shape a separate monitoring product.
