What Lunari can improve for an owner-operated SMB.

When the operator is also the bookkeeper, the cost of a slow close is paid in evenings and weekends — and the audit trail is wherever someone last saved a PDF.

Payroll, with the evidence already on the run.

The pain today

What this looks like before Lunari.

  • Payroll, billing and bank reconciliations all live in different inboxes; the month-end takes a full week of evenings.
  • Supporting documents are scattered across email, Drive and a shared folder no-one has tidied since opening.
  • Year-end accountant requests trigger a scramble for receipts and statements months after the fact.
With Lunari

What changes once it's on one record.

  • Payroll, billing, bank and reconciliations close on one record — most months wrap in a single working day.
  • Every transaction carries its evidence; the vault replaces 'which folder is that in?'
  • Year-end is a hand-off, not a scramble — the accountant gets a viewer over the period.
