LUCA

Enterprise-grade, forward-looking accounting for SMEs who can't afford in-house resource.

The problem

Modern SaaS accounting is backward facing. SMEs get a record of what happened, not a view of what comes next.

What we built

Forward-looking accounting, built from the ledger up. LUCA gives SMEs the financial visibility they would normally need an in-house team to deliver.

Our role

BuildBackRun

Incubated by the Studio 021 partners as part of the portfolio developed over the past 18 months. Our role spans building, backing and running the venture, with the focus now on completing the product and bringing in early adopters.

EVIDENCE TO DATE

Proof points & outcomes

A forecast in live beta

The forward-looking forecast is already in live beta. This is the current product milestone; the remaining functionality is still to be completed.

Built from the ledger up

LUCA starts with the accounting ledger to give SMEs a view of what comes next, rather than only a record of what has happened.

An in-house capability for SMEs

The proposition brings enterprise-grade financial visibility to businesses that cannot afford an in-house resource. Securing early adopters is the next step, not a completed commercial outcome.

OCTOBER 2026 UPDATE
