Software Companies

The evolution of AI and generative coding is reducing barriers to entry into an already hyper-competitive market. As you look to grow and scale within this landscape, building robust accounting frameworks around recurring revenue models is essential to understand and manage your business’s cash flow.

Development Houses

Revenue recognition complexity, project cost overruns, intellectual property valuations, R&D expenditure, and cybersecurity investment – managing the accounting and finances of a software development house is hardly straightforward. Bring on a partner that understands your business intimately and can scale up or down as needed.

Managing cash flow, tracking financial performance, maintaining timely BAS compliance, and delivering accurate, real-time financial data to key decision makers when they need it.

Case Study

PurchasePlus (formerly MarketBoomer) is an e-procurement software provider. Connecting hospitality businesses and suppliers to allow faster, easier, and more transparent transactions.


Before the intervention of Aretex, PurchasePlus had an accounting process focused on monthly billing runs. With no one internally that owned the accounting function or its outcomes and just one accounting resource, the team would get bogged down in transactions and execution. Delaying important financial reporting and offering little time to dedicate to more strategic and complex accounting activities.


Following the departure of the company’s only accountant, they were faced with a decision – do we hire someone else or look to outsource? They were seeking a streamlined solution with a robust month-end report process, including billing, that freed staff from the day-to-day operations to step back and invest in some of the bigger projects in the pipeline.


Aretex were completely on-boarded within three months and had built a replicable process, specific to the PurchasePlus business. One with built-in redundancy that meant it could scale up or down as required.
