For founders
who still run the money at night
You sign one page that says what may pay, from which account, up to how much. Bills, contractors and renewals inside it pay by themselves after a thirty day pilot. What does not fit comes to you, once.

What leaves your desk

drafted with you on a call

- Budgets by job
- Tools, Contractors, Marketing, each with how far one payment goes by itself.
- Rules above it
- Over a set amount, both founders sign, whatever the budget says.
Pilot
Thirty days of presses
before it pays alone
- You press first
- Thirty days and twenty decisions. At 95% pressed without a change, you may let it go.
- Two mistakes and it goes back
- That kind of payment returns to the button until you let it go again.
Runway
Runway from the rows
not from a spreadsheet
- Six months side by side
- Split by project, with the net at the bottom.
- Two forecasts
- If clients pay on time, and if they pay as they usually do.
Later
When you hire for finance
the budget stays with the job
- DeliveryMiraAlex stands in until 20 Oct
- ToolsAlexPays by itselfResearch agentAn agent of the Tools position
- SalesVacantSpends nothing, agents only propose
- Hand over a position
- Your first finance hire takes it with its budget, its agents and its rules. Only the name changes.
- Away for a week
- A deputy acts inside your limits until a date, then it all returns by itself.
On autopilot
What goes by itself
and what still waits for you
Goes by itself
- A bill or a payout inside its budget in the mandate
- From Revolut Business, Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla
- An agent's card or API spend inside its cap
Waits for you
- A new payee, and bank details that changed
- Anything past a budget or a limit
- Every payment from Mercury, Slash, a Safe or a wallet you sign
The brakes above both
- $2,000 a payment and $10,000 a day until you change them
- Loosening a limit waits 24 to 72 hours
- One pause stops every payment at once
Questions
Founders ask
the short answers
Do I need a finance person?
No. Orla is built for companies without one. Your accountant gets a free seat and the month as files.
What do I still sign?
A new payee, changed bank details, a payment past its budget or over $2,000, and whatever your signing rules ask for.
Can I stop everything at once?
Yes. One pause stops every payment.
Does Orla hold my money?
No. It pays from the accounts you connect. The account inside Orla is issued by our partner Noah.
