A note from the founders

Why we’re building trimly

Having closed more than three-hundred month-ends, we can say a few things with confidence:

90% of month-end tasks are repetitive, and invariably mundane

Upto 90% of spreadsheets include errors, and the average month-end close includes lots of spreadsheets

Accountants and founders alike are always looking for ways to close the books faster and more accurately

Cue a cold beer between a seasoned Data Engineer and a Finance Director and a plan to build, a platform that would work WITH Xero to:

Save users hours each month by automating downloads & syncs into our predefined workflows and schedules

Reduce the number of spreadsheets (and by default the associated errors) at month-end

Deliver a faster close by optimising workflows, enabling users to rebalance workload more efficiently

We made couple of calls, gathered some cash and sketched product roadmap, detailing tasks including deferred revenue, customisable recurring invoicing with forecasts, prepayments, provision releases, and more. And before long, we started building…

And the name 'trimly'...

Our North Star metric is 'user hours saved', which we plan to deliver by incrementally reducing, or 'trimming', a number of month-end related tasks.

Domain names are expensive, and so we had to be a little creative by adding the 'ly', which we think is the right amount of startuppy language.

If you'd like to know more about us, or have amazing ideas for features you'd like to see in trimly, then drop us a note at contact@trimly.app
