FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL OR LINKEDIN · TO A BOOKKEEPER WITH REMOTE TEAM CLIENTS

Hi, I run a USDC payroll app for small remote teams: every run is previewed and signed by two people, and staff and contractors get proper slips. I would like to give you a free read only seat across your clients and a share of the first year. Open to a 15 minute call?

3. Agree terms on one page

40 min

Write the seat, the revenue share and what each side does for onboarding. Both sign.

4. Onboard their first three teams

90 min

Do the spreadsheet import yourself and run the first preview with each team on a call.
