It is a very simple process to connect accounting software data to Incued, it takes less than 5 minutes. Our CX team is seasoned in helping you tailor the onboarding strategy and messaging so that founders are comfortable in the process.
It's common for follow-on investors to include a side letter requesting this right. We have a side letter template and a sample of an information rights clause should you need it. Financial information can also be shared voluntarily by the founder. For investors, it is a best practice to include information rights in your deals.
While some companies are too early for accounting software, most that take on investment should use one to keep their books in order and set a strong financial foundation to their organization. We would be happy to recommend a software that is right for them and connect your portfolio company with our network of CPAs.
Incued provides the portfolio companies with these main benefits:
For a more extensive list, please see our article on “Why should I share my monthly financials with my investor?”
The portfolio company owns their financial data. Incued does not see your data.
A portfolio company will see only their own financial data and can control who they choose to grant access to their financial data.
Data security is very important to us. Incued follows the AWS Well Architected Framework for Security. All data is encrypted and we actively monitor for threats and access in our cloud and data environments. Incued has MFA and password protection features enabled for all user accounts. We have a Letter of Attestation from our SOC-II auditor available upon request.
Step 1: Invite portfolio company to Incued using “Add New Company” button in top right corner of your Portfolio Overview dashboard.
Step 2: Enter the email for the company or invite multiple at once.
The email you use doesn’t need to be the email associated with the accounting software, but those credentials will be needed.
Step 3: Your portfolio company immediately receives an invitation email and their administrator enters in accounting software login credentials.
With the emails gathered ahead of time, this can take less than 5 minutes and you never have to contact a company again about their financials.
The data is pulled in directly from the accounting software used by portfolio company via an API.
Incued currently supports Quickbooks Online, Sage, Freshbooks, Xero, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Double check that the data is pulling in for the portfolio company successfully if there are no yellow or red bars flags on the portfolio company record in the Portfolio Overview dashboard. Contact support@incued.com
Since the data is populated via API from the account software, the data is instantaneously and constantly refreshed. All numbers you see are updated in real-time. Reports are pulled on a monthly basis.
Incued can support dozens or thousands of companies in and across multiple portfolios. This amount is customized with your Incued Account Manager.
You can also invite multiple portfolio companies at once, using our bulk invite.
Often, investment agreements will include an “information rights” clause generally stating that the investor can request financial data and metrics from the portfolio company at any given time.
Incued, as middleware, is a tool to more easily facilitate that clause for both the company and the investor. For more information, contact sales@incued.com.
Incued is priced per portfolio company. Discounts are offered as portfolio size increases. To get a quote, please contact sales@incued.com.
