See your numbers in real time - no waiting for a slow accountant

Your P&L, cash flow, and who owes you money. Updated live, not quarterly.

We pull receipts and bills straight from your inbox. No forwarding, no snapping - hours back every week.

"I was paying my accountant £400/month to send me a spreadsheet I didn't understand. With Absolv, I open a dashboard and everything's there."

Shaun

Who's behind Absolv

I'm Shaun. I trained at PwC, qualified as an ICAEW chartered accountant, then co-founded a company that hit $300M valuation as COO.

I built Absolv because I've been on both sides - managing the finances of a fast-growing company, and dealing with accountants who couldn't keep up. Founders deserve better.

ICAEW Chartered Accountant Reg: 3939960

Every question a founder asks - answered.

We work with the platforms you're already on.

If you're just working from a spreadsheet, we'll set you up for free.

Cancel anytime. No lock-in, no exit fees. Your data stays in Xero/QuickBooks and you can take it to any accountant. We'll even help with the handover.
