Quentin Lacointa, Co-Founder and CEO at Trezy, emphasiSed the importance of addressing SME owners’ concerns regarding cash flow management. He said: “69% of SME owners say they lose sleep at night because they worry about their cash flow. It’s their number one concern and with good reason. With inflation reducing margins, economic conditions hitting growth and financial processes becoming increasingly complicated, there is a huge burden on SMEs. Our goal is to support business owners by giving them easy-to-access, real-time financial insights that will help them to manage their cash flow and, regardless of their financial literacy, make better decisions.
“Accountancy software has really helped with day-to-day admin and compliance, but it doesn’t provide intelligent support for financial decision-making. This is where Trezy comes in and with this funding we will be able to further develop our platform to help achieve our vision of empowering small business owners on a global scale”
