More time building. Less time untangling spreadsheets.
Whether you’re pre-revenue, just raised your first round or growing your early customer base, Cotchy keeps your bookkeeping, accounting and tax organised, so you can spend more time building your business and less time worrying about your books.
Trusted by founders who'd rather be building than bookkeeping.
Startups move fast, and money habits formed early are hard to undo later.
You’re managing burn rate, runway, contractor payments, investor reporting and compliance, often for the first time and often without a finance team behind you.
Cotchy brings the financial side of your startup together in one place. From bookkeeping and structure advice to tax planning and business advisory, we provide practical financial support that helps you stay organised, understand your runway and make confident decisions as you grow.
Built for the way startups work.
Stay on top of your numbers
Understand burn rate, runway and business performance with accurate reporting that’s easy to understand and ready whenever investors ask.
Advice beyond compliance
Your accountant should do more than lodge returns. We provide proactive advice on structure, cash flow and growth decisions as your startup evolves.
Spend more time building
We manage the bookkeeping, reporting and compliance so you can focus on product, customers and growth instead of admin.
Financial clarity creates better startups.
Founders make big decisions with incomplete information often enough already.
Whether you’re deciding when to hire, how much runway you have left, when to raise your next round or how to structure the business, accurate financial information makes every decision easier.
Cotchy doesn’t simply prepare reports. We help you understand what those reports mean and how they can support your next move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with early-stage or pre-revenue startups?
Yes. Cotchy works with founders at every stage, from pre-revenue and pre-seed through to startups scaling their first team. We tailor our support to where your business is at.
Can you help us choose the right business structure?
Yes. We provide practical advice on structure, whether that’s sole trader, company or trust, based on your goals, risk and growth plans.
Can you prepare financial reports for investors?
Yes. We set up clean, accurate reporting that’s ready to share with investors, advisors or your board whenever it’s needed.
We already have a bookkeeper. Can you just do our accounting and tax?
We recommend having your bookkeeping, accounting and tax managed together under one roof at Cotchy. It removes the need for back and forth between separate providers, keeps everyone on the same page, and helps ensure your bookkeeping and accounting are handled efficiently and on time. If you need to keep your existing bookkeeper, we can discuss this with you to see what arrangement would work best.
Can you support us as we scale and hire our first employees?
Yes. Our services scale with your business, including support for payroll setup, super obligations and reporting as your team grows.
Do you only work with Melbourne businesses?
No. While Cotchy is proudly Australian-owned and Melbourne-based, we support startups across Australia using secure cloud accounting software and online collaboration.
Let's simplify the financial side of your startup.
Your focus is building something great. Ours is making sure the money side of your business is organised, compliant and ready for whatever’s next. Work with Cotchy today.
