# Field guides for a company without a finance team, ten pages each

Markdown twin of that page. Append `.md` to any Orla page URL to get one.

Each guide writes one job down: the decisions, the checklists and the templates we would hand a founder doing it for the first time. Free, sent to your email.

- [Field guide 01: Paying contractors in five countries](https://www.orla.finance/en/guides/contractor-payouts): A setup kit for a small company with no finance team: which rail each contractor gets, how to take their details without getting robbed, the payout policy on one page, the monthly run, and what lands on your accountant's desk.
- [Field guide 02: Closing the month without a CFO](https://www.orla.finance/en/guides/month-close): A kit for a small company whose books are kept by the founder and finished by an outside accountant: who does what, a seven-day close calendar, the account codes conversation you have once, and the package and email that end the month.
- [Field guide 03: Giving an agent a budget](https://www.orla.finance/en/guides/agent-mandate): A kit for a small team whose software agents have started spending money: an inventory of what they touch, a one-page mandate, separate money for each agent, what happens past the limit, a watch period before trust, and the receipts you read on Friday.

#### One email, a PDF, its templates, and advice that works without Orla

- Free, by email: Leave your address on a guide's page and we send one email with a link to a ZIP: the PDF and its templates.
- Useful without Orla: The steps and templates work with any bank and any accountant. Orla appears in one-line notes, in the screenshots and on the last page.
- One demo company: Northwind Studio is invented. Its books are seeded in Orla, and the screenshots are frames of the working product on that book.
- Not advice: The guides are general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. What applies to your company is a question for your accountant and, where a country's rules come in, a local adviser.
