Our approach
We understand the business before we write the code.
We start with the business, not the backlog.
Before anything is designed, we learn how the work actually gets done: who does what, where the controls sit, which exceptions cause the trouble. The aim is a shared, written understanding of the problem.
What this stage produces
- Process and requirements map
- Agreed scope and priorities
- Known risks and constraints
Most projects start with a conversation about a process that isn't working. Tell us about yours.
Start a projectBuilt on business understanding
Software written by people who can read a balance sheet.
Shortstone is founder-led. Our founder has a chartered accounting background, extensive leadership experience in financial services, and practical experience building complex software systems.
That combination is unusual, and it changes the work. We don't need the business translated for us, so less is lost between what you need and what gets built.
About the studioFinancial controls
Approvals, segregation of duties and audit trails are designed in from the start, not added after an audit.
Operational workflows
We model how work really moves between people and teams, including the exceptions that never make it into a process document.
Requirements and compliance
We can read a policy, a set of accounts or a regulatory requirement and turn it into software that honours it.
Have something ambitious in mind? Let's build it.
Tell us what you're trying to build or fix. You'll hear back from the person who would lead the work, with questions rather than a sales deck.
