Connect permission, contract, payment and proof

Build money and work systems that can be traced backwards from every final number.

THE JOB

The dangerous gaps sit between systems: immigration and work authorization, offer and payroll, contract and invoice, payment and GEL evidence, declaration and receipt. Close the joins before activity scales.

THE SEQUENCE

Three moves, in order

  1. 01STATUS

    Separate every authority question

    Entry, residence, work permission, tax residence, business registration and tax status do not merge.

  2. 02RAIL

    Follow the final amount

    Contract currency, fees, execution, rate evidence, bank receipt and recovery matter more than the headline.

  3. 03CLOSE

    Make the month reproducible

    Connect delivery, invoice, payment, conversion, declaration, tax payment and unresolved exceptions.
