How much cash will we have over the next 3 months?

Lowest point is €18,400, in about 3 months, when two big supplier bills land the same week.

From 214 bank lines, 38 bills and 21 open invoices
Can we push one of them?

Northbox accepted 45 days last year. I drafted the request.

Arcus never moves money, files tax, approves new bank details or locks a period on its own. New bank details need a second person.

All your accounting. One place.

“I spent years as an accountant watching owners chase receipts, copy bank lines into spreadsheets and wait days for answers. The work was spread across five tools and three people. So I built 1Arc: one place where your books get done, with an AI agent doing the work and an accountant checking it.”

Questions, answered.

What is 1Arc?

Accounting for small and medium-sized businesses, run by Arcus, an AI accounting agent. Arcus codes your bills, matches your bank, sends and chases invoices, prepares supplier payment runs and your VAT return, and asks you before anything important moves. Underneath is a complete double-entry ledger with VAT, period close and an audit trail.

Who is it for?

Small and medium-sized businesses, in Ireland first, then the UK and the US: from an owner who does the books at night to a company with a finance team and several entities. Arcus takes the volume, so the work scales without adding headcount. Accounting firms can use it for all their clients.

Does Arcus pay or file anything on its own?

No. Arcus never moves money, files tax, approves new bank details or locks a period. It prepares the payment run and you release it in your own bank. New bank details need a second person.

What does Done for you include?

Our accountants run your books, bank, invoicing and chasing, VAT and month-end close with Arcus, and a Chartered Accountant reviews every month. You answer the odd question in chat and approve what matters. €399 a month excluding VAT.

Who files my VAT return?

Arcus prepares it from your books for your approval. With Done for you, our team files it once you approve; with Software, you file it yourself.

Do I need to leave my accountant?

No. Invite your accountant into your books with their own role. Or let our team and a Chartered Accountant take it on with Done for you.

Does it work with Xero?

Yes. Moving from Xero, we import your chart of accounts so you start where you left off. 1Arc is a complete ledger, so you can run your books in it.

Which banks does it connect to?

Most banks in Ireland and across Europe, through GoCardless, a regulated open-banking provider. Stripe payouts and fees are matched too.

Does it do payroll?

Payroll is coming soon.

Where is my data stored?

In the EU. Your data, documents and all AI processing stay in the EU, encrypted in transit and at rest, with each company kept separate.

Where is it available?

Early access is open in Ireland now. The UK and the US come next. Prices are in euro.

When can I start?

Soon. Ask for early access and we invite businesses in the order they signed up.

Arcus prepares the work. You approve it. The books stay right.
