EconomicoEconomico for Bootstrapped founders
Know whether the business pays for itself
You may never send a board deck. You still need to know what you earned, what serving customers costs and how long your cash lasts.
There may be no investor to force the question
Without a monthly board update, it is easy to postpone the work of defining revenue, cost and cash. The decision still arrives: which customer to pursue, which plan to change and how much you can spend before cash becomes tight. You need a baseline you can check, even if no one outside the company asks for it.
Read the operating numbers from recorded work
Your own agent can record contracts, invoices, vendor costs and completed payments in one ledger. Ask for revenue, gross margin, burn and runway, then inspect the period, entries and assumptions behind each answer. If you need customer-level margin, the relevant costs have to be attributed to that customer; Economico cannot infer that from a bank total.
Show last month's revenue and direct costs for this customer group. What is missing before we can trust the margin?
Keep the option to share
If you later work with an accountant, lender or buyer, the books and source documents are available to inspect. On the Startup plan you can create a limited report share, but a clean sale or diligence result is never guaranteed. The day-to-day reason to keep the record is simpler: you get to make decisions from numbers you understand.
Ask what the books can support
What's my gross margin after cloud and AI costs, and which costs still need attributing to a customer?
Are we default alive? Show last month's profit or burn, our cash, and how long it lasts at this rate.
Which customers made up most of last quarter's revenue, and what do they still owe us?
