Who it suits

Zeni suits start-ups and growing technology companies, including fintech and payment businesses, that want outsourced finance with a fixed monthly price and a team that handles the books, taxes and CFO reporting. A company with complex regulated accounting, such as safeguarding of client funds, should ask whether this is within the scope.
