Stablebooks
Treasury policy and reconciliation layer for companies holding stablecoins

Test it before you build it
$750 · 4 weeks · 20 prospects
Prove in 4 weeks and for $750 that importer finance teams hold stablecoin balances long enough to prepay $1,500 for policy plus reconciliation, before any code exists.
Riskiest assumption · CFOs at importers paying suppliers over stablecoin rails hold balances large enough (six figures) and long enough (more than a week) to pay for dedicated policy and reconciliation software, rather than treating stablecoins as same-day pass-through float their processor already reports.
1Focus group: who and where
Controller or CFO at a US importer or exporter, 20-200 employees, already settling supplier invoices through a stablecoin processor such as Bridge, Conduit or BVNK, closing the books in NetSuite or QuickBooks, and fielding a first question from the auditor or the board about who approved the wallet balance.
where to find 20 · Three kinds of sources: the published customer case studies and testimonial pages of Bridge, Conduit and BVNK, which name importer and exporter clients - build a 40-company list and find the finance lead at each; the Controllers Council online community of controllers and CFOs; local AFP (Association for Financial Professionals) chapter meetings in trade-heavy metros (Miami, Houston, Los Angeles), plus NetSuite user group meetups as a fourth channel.
2Sell first, build later
September close pilot: we reconcile one full month of your stablecoin payout activity to NetSuite or QuickBooks, deliver an exception report and a board-ready policy with per-coin and per-issuer limits, within 10 business days of month-end - delivery by October 14.
the ask · $1,500 per pilot month, credited against a $500 per month founding subscription if you continue
a real yes · A real yes is the $1,500 ACH payment landed and the signed one-page scope; compliments, requests to just send the template, unpaid trials and 'talk to us after audit season' count as no.
3Small experiments
The first one attacks the riskiest assumption; each ends with a number that says whether to run the next.
1. Balance persistence interviews
$200 · 10 days
Book 15 calls of 25 minutes with controllers at companies named in Bridge, Conduit and BVNK case studies and met through Controllers Council. Ask four numbers: average stablecoin balance, days held before sweep to the bank, hours spent at month-end tying on-chain movements to the ERP, and who asked about a policy this quarter. The founder runs every call and logs answers in one sheet.
keep going if · 8 of 15 hold $100,000 or more for 7+ days and spend 4+ hours reconciling at month-end
2. Board policy template magnet
$250 · 14 days
Publish a board-ready stablecoin treasury policy template - per-coin and per-issuer limits, sweep rules, and the yield boundary under the draft CLARITY ban - gated by a work email, and post it in Controllers Council and hand it out at one AFP chapter meeting. Every download gets an offer of a free 20-minute policy review call.
keep going if · 30 downloads by finance titles and 8 booked review calls
3. Paid reconciliation pilot close
$300 · 14 days
At the end of every interview and review call, pitch the September close pilot: we reconcile last month's processor payouts to your ERP by hand and deliver the exception report plus the tailored policy, $1,500 prepaid. Doing the work manually is deliberate here: the deliverable is a finished reconciliation, so hand labor proves willingness to pay before a line of product code. Invoice by ACH, one-page scope signed by the controller.
keep going if · 3 of 15 companies asked pay the $1,500 invoice before work starts
4Collect a deposit up front
Tesla took $1,000 refundable reservations for the Model 3 and $100 for the Cybertruck before building either: the deposit is the measurement, not the revenue.
$1,500
per prospect, refundable
how · Full pilot fee invoiced up front by ACH against a one-page scope the controller signs - a prepaid pilot fits this buyer because a mid-market finance team can approve a $1,500 vendor invoice without procurement, and paying before delivery is the test itself. set up: Stripe Invoicing ↗
what it reserves · One of 5 September close pilot slots and the $500 per month founding price locked for 12 months
refund · Refunded in full if the exception report and policy are not delivered within 10 business days of month-end.
target · 3 paid pilots from 15 interviews within 30 days
before taking money · Present the yield-boundary guidance as regulatory information reviewed by counsel, never as legal advice, while the CLARITY yield ban is still in draft.
Go: build it if
3 or more prepaid $1,500 pilots and 8 or more of 15 interviews confirming $100,000+ balances held 7+ days: build the reconciliation bridge for one processor plus NetSuite.
Kill: stop if
10 or more of 15 interviews report balances swept to the bank same-day, or 0 paid pilots after 15 direct asks: the pass-through-float risk is real, stop.

outreach message
You're closing the books at an importer that pays suppliers in stablecoins, which usually means a spreadsheet mapping on-chain transfers to NetSuite and an auditor asking who approved the wallet balance. I'm building Stablebooks: board-approved limits per coin and issuer plus month-end reconciliation into your ERP. Before writing code I'm reconciling one month by hand for five importers at $1,500 each. Open to a 20-minute call this week to see if your close qualifies?

The concept in full
- What
- Stablebooks lets a mid-market finance team hold operating balances in stablecoins with controls: board-approved policy limits per coin and issuer, automatic sweeps between bank accounts and stablecoin wallets, and reconciliation of on-chain movements to the ERP at month-end. It encodes the regulatory boundary on yield so treasurers know which reward programs they can accept. CFOs at importers and exporters already paying suppliers on stablecoin rails are the buyers.
- Grounded in (2025-2026 signals)
- B2B stablecoin payments around $226 billion in 2025 (OpenFX report, 2026); CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking Committee May 14, 2026, with the January 2026 draft banning interest for merely holding a balance but allowing activity-linked rewards; Mesh (yc W25), End Close (yc W26) and Panax (plugandplay 2025) all show finance-team reconciliation demand but none touch stablecoin regimes
- What it rides
- Stablecoin rails under GENIUS/MiCA for the holding and reconciliation workflow, plus the CLARITY market-structure rules for the yield boundary treasurers must respect
- Why now
- With B2B stablecoin volume at roughly $226 billion in 2025 and CLARITY's yield ban still in draft as of the August 8, 2026 motion to proceed, corporate balances are arriving before treasurers have any policy tooling for them
- Wedge: first customer and entry point
- US importers already settling supplier invoices through stablecoin processors; start as the reconciliation bridge between one processor's payout records and NetSuite, then add policy limits and sweeps
- Closest real companies, as the generator saw them
- Panax does AI cash management for lean finance teams but treats stablecoins as absent; Mesh kills accrual spreadsheets and End Close reconciles high-volume payments, neither models coin, issuer or yield-rule constraints; 'treasury' shows just 5 companies in the last 2 years
- Main risk
- Treasurers keep stablecoin balances too small and too short-lived to justify dedicated software, treating them as pass-through payment float
