ERP for founders

One system from day one to audit-ready.

Most founders run on spreadsheets until diligence hits. Then they rebuild everything. Opercity treats your business as one connected system, with clean records from the first sale, so growing up means turning controls on, not starting over.

The problem

Solo founders wear every hat

Sales, finance, HR, legal, and operations all land on one person. Big-company ERPs are too heavy and too costly.

Messy records cost money later

Investors, buyers, and auditors ask for clean books and proof of controls. Cleanup is slow and expensive.

Switching systems hurts

Moving from a simple tool to an enterprise one means migrating data and retraining the team at the worst time.

One system, two modes

The data model never changes. Only the control level does.

Build mode

For founders and solopreneurs

  • Light, fast, and ready-made for all 12 departments
  • Automatic logging and versioned records from day one
  • Compensating controls for one-person teams: weekly checks, monthly self-review, advisor sign-off
  • Claude drafts and flags. You approve.

Scale mode

For funded and audit-ready teams

  • Split roles and separate approvers
  • Locked periods and approval workflows
  • Controls mapped to SOX, with evidence stored for each one
  • Built to support SOC 1 and SOC 2 reporting

Proof: built by an operator

Opercity was built by an operator. Its founder ran every function solo, with a 20-year controller and small business advisory background, including SOX-compliant reporting for venture-funded companies. The same system now carries her businesses toward audit-ready. That is the case study.

Where we are

Now

Designing the Sales module in both modes. Pilot with the founder's own businesses.

Next

Pilot projects with outside founders. Ledger and approvals built for audit trails.

Then

SOC 2 Type 1, followed by SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2.

Opercity is built to support SOX controls. We do not yet hold SOC certifications. They are on the roadmap above.

Let's talk

We are talking with pilot founders and partners such as accountants, fractional CFOs, and auditors.
