Company profile

researched Sep 2026

CashDirector S.A. is a Polish fintech that supplies an online accounting and financial management platform for micro-businesses and SMEs, distributed mainly through banks and financial institutions under a partner-label (white-label) model. The platform is positioned as a "daily digital business assistant" and a virtual CFO: it combines automated invoicing and tax reporting, real-time cash flow monitoring, receivables and payables management, multibanking and AI-driven document processing within a single dashboard available on mobile and desktop.

The company describes its approach as "beyond banking" in a B2B2C model, referencing Celent's embedded banking framework, in which its services are added into a partner bank's online banking platform as a cloud add-on requiring limited IT involvement from the bank. Alongside the core bookkeeping and cash flow tools, CashDirector has built a real-time accounting platform used to automate loan origination and pre-scoring for SME clients of its bank partners.

A consumer-facing mobile application lets business owners issue VAT invoices, photograph and upload documents to a digital INBOX archive for transmission to an accountant, browse stored invoices, monitor company financial performance in real time and submit a month for closing when using CashDirector's accounting services.

Founding story

CashDirector S.A. was co-founded by Rafal Strzelecki, who spent a decade implementing accounting-outsourcing ventures for international clients and worked on changing the operating model of accounting offices toward supporting small business management, and Patrycja Strzelecka, an entrepreneur, investor and mentor named among the 2024 Forbes 50 over 50 EMEA winners.

Business model

B2B2C partner-label distribution: CashDirector builds and integrates a tailored, cloud-based product and service ecosystem that banks and other financial institutions offer to their micro and SMB customers under their own brand, adding services to the partner's online banking platform rather than outsourcing them.

Revenue is generated through business partners — banks and financial institutions that distribute the platform to their SME clients — with accounting services also offered directly to app users; the company reported $1M in annual recurring revenue as of 2018.

Traction

The company reports more than 250,000 users and a proven record of working with six large banks; at FinovateFall 2018 it reported $1M ARR, 55,000 registered SME users, 50 employees and two large banks signed, and stated it had helped a bank increase SME client acquisition by 25%. Named customers include mBank (Commerzbank Group), BNP Paribas and COMP. The Android app has over 5,000 downloads.

Latest developments

The Android accounting application lists an update dated 2026-08-04, and the site highlights co-founder Patrycja Strzelecka's inclusion among the 2024 Forbes 50 over 50 EMEA winners.
