Why the accounting is different here
Investors expect clean monthly management accounts, a defensible burn rate and a cap table that ties to the CIPZ register. Founders who wait until due diligence to fix the books lose valuation — or the deal.
- Founders paying business expenses from personal cards
- No proper cap table or share register
- Deferred revenue on SaaS not accounted for
- USD receipts from foreign customers — RBZ compliance
- Runway and burn rate not calculated
- Companies Act — share issues, resolutions, register
- ZIMRA — VAT (including on digital services), PAYE, QPDs
- RBZ — inward remittances and forex accounts
- POTRAZ — where telecoms / VAS licensing applies

A real example
A Harare fintech was preparing for a seed round but had 18 months of mixed personal-and-business transactions, no cap table and a vague sense of MRR.
We rebuilt the books, produced a clean cap table, and delivered a data room in five weeks. The round closed at a valuation the founders wouldn't have dared quote before — because now they could defend the numbers.
