Bookkeeping
Every transaction captured and auto-categorized in minutes, reconciled and reviewed by your accountant, books closed on a fixed monthly schedule.
Expert-run. Tech-powered.
You didn't start a company to spend your nights in spreadsheets.
Rio takes the books, the filings, and the month-end scramble off your plate — a dedicated finance team, with an automation layer underneath that keeps your numbers accurate, current, and explained in plain language.
free consultation — no strings attached ↗
What we do
One dedicated team for your bookkeeping, tax, and advisory — built for startups and small businesses.
No juggling a bookkeeper here, a tax agent there, and a consultant somewhere else. Rio puts your whole back office in one place, with one team accountable for all of it.
📒
🧾
Tax
VAT, corporate income tax, and statutory filings prepared and coordinated — tax-ready all year, never a March panic.
📈
Advisory
Budgets, forecasts, and decisions worked through with finance leaders who've sat in the operator's seat.
Where Rio fits
More accountable than software. Faster and lower-cost than a traditional firm.
You've got three options for your back office. Here's the honest trade-off — and why Rio is built to give you the best of all of them.
A freelancer
~Cheap, until they're busy, sick, or gone
✕One person — no review, no backup
✕Rarely sees the whole picture
✕No one signs and stands behind it
Pure software
✓Fast data entry, low monthly fee
✕Categorizes — doesn't decide
✕You're still the accountant
✕A tool can't be accountable
A traditional firm
✓Credentialed and accountable
~Often slow — books weeks behind
~Priced for big-company budgets
✕Manual work, manual pace
Rio
✓Automation captures & categorizes in minutes
✓Specialists resolve what the system flags
✓A certified accountant signs every close
✓A team, not a single point of failure
Always current
Get answers from your numbers — without digging for them.
How much did we spend on contractors last quarter? Can we afford the next hire? When your books are current and your team knows your business, questions like these get answered the same day — not after a week of export-and-pivot.
- Books current and reviewed, not twelve months behind
- Cash, burn, and runway visible at a glance
- A team that answers questions in plain language
- Documents and statements organized in one hub
"Can we afford it?"

Advisory
Advice from people who've actually run the numbers before.

Why founders switch
Built around the problems that actually keep you up at night.
"I don't trust my numbers."
Every close is reconciled and reviewed by a senior accountant before it reaches you.
"I find out too late."
Books stay current, so surprises surface in weeks — not at year-end.
"Filings sneak up on me."
A filing calendar managed for you, with everything prepared ahead of the deadline.
"My bookkeeper disappeared."
A team, not a single freelancer — coverage doesn't vanish when someone's away.
"I can't read these reports."
Monthly financials delivered with a plain-language summary of what changed and why.
"Finance eats my week."
Hand it off. Most founders spend under an hour a month with Rio running the back office.
