been there.

£arnd was created because accounting software was built for accountants — not for the people actually doing the work.

ICO registered

256-bit encrypted
Our story

We watched self-employed tradespeople, hairdressers and dog walkers spend hours on paperwork that should take minutes. Sage and Xero were built for office finance teams — not someone covered in paint at the end of a long day.

So we built £arnd. Say it. It's sorted. You've earnd it.
