Scenarios, not guarantees.

What foundations do we need before the next stage?

  • Which sources explain our current cash?

  • What costs are planned rather than already incurred?

  • Does a financing simulation leave actual ownership unchanged?

A routine built around your work

Establish a baseline

Connect eligible accounts or review supported imports; check the scope before interpreting totals.

Model the next quarter

Keep planned roles and start dates explicit rather than treating them as actual payroll.

Prepare for a financing discussion

Compare a supported ownership scenario with the retained authoritative cap table.

Put it into context

Illustrative workflow, not customer data.

A startup retains the base plan and a version with later start dates. The scenario helps structure a discussion; no employee is hired and no ownership event is created by the simulation.

AI explanations and forecasts require review. Authorized people and deterministic services retain approval, calculation, posting and close authority.

The connected areas to explore

Money

Bring balances, transactions, cash movement, and runway drivers into one decision-ready money view.

Planning

Build retained legal-entity budgets with exact arithmetic and supported actuals context.

Cap table

Review legal and fully diluted ownership projections without rewriting the sequence that produced them.

Accounting

Coordinate legal-entity accounts, periods, journals, immutable posting, reporting, reconciliation, and close.

Questions for startups

Is headcount planning a payroll processor?
No. It models supported workforce costs. Payroll accounting is a separate controlled handoff and does not execute payroll or taxes.
Does the product raise money for us?
No. Supported fundraising views are hypothetical capital and dilution analysis, not a fundraising service or legal advice.

Availability depends on plan, permissions and configured data. OwnCents does not provide professional accounting, tax, legal or investment advice.
