Digital transformation promised simplicity, but for entrepreneurs and accountants it also brought complexity.Instead of true digitisation of invoicing, it has introduced invoices scattered over emails and supplier portals, different payment solutions, a plethora of sources of financial documents but no way to bring them together but manually.We automate the tedious job of bringing everything together, offer the entrepreneurs peace of mind and the feeling of being on top of things. A virtual buddy that does the heavy lifting for them, that keeps their paperwork on track, that makes sure they pay and are paid in time and that gives them real-time financial insight. In the meantime making sure that their accountant is happy with a complete file before the end of the quarter.This is what we call the OkiOki feeling.Are you already feeling OkiOki today?

Looking back on a career of building digital products, services and communication for bespoke brands for over 20 years, it was time for a change. We quit our job as managing partners of Boondoggle and founded 33reasons. Our professional playground for experimentation and co-creation. With the firm ambition to launch a digital service that makes financial administration easy and fun.Through consumer research in personal care and well-being, telecom, energy or finance we were often confronted with like-minded consumers. Consumers in search for an easier and happier life, where they expect brands to enable them in this pursuit, by a.o. helping them save time and helping them install good habits. Yet these same consumers perceive less then 30% of brands as notably improving their quality of life.As experienced service designers and design thinkers we kicked off our endeavours empathizing with our target audience: entrepreneurs and their accountants.We quickly discovered that their relationship based on trust could be destabilized by the digital disruption that is slowly but surely also hitting the world of financial administration. Entrepreneurs are longing for to get rid of the quarterly hassle and at the same time feel that they lack insight on the financial side of their business. Accountants on the other hand are also still suffering from the same quarterly peeks and lack time to offer their clients the advisory role they are looking for. Despite the fact that accountancy softwares are trying to catch up with digitization and the rise of accounttech, both entrepeneurs and accountants still seem to lack the right solution to their problem.That's the moment when we created the concept of OkiOki. Starting from the vision that everything starts from the lack of motivation of the entrepreneur and the complexity of the financial administration ecosystem. And with the ambition to give every entrepreneur a financial assistant.
