Layer | Embedded Accounting for SMB Platforms

What is embedded accounting?

Embedded accounting lets SMB software platforms offer built-in accounting and bookkeeping features directly inside their products. These features position the software platform as the financial home for their SMB customers, driving increased retention and revenue for the platform.

Can I customize Layer to match my app’s UX?

Yes, Layer is completely white-labeled, so it blends seamlessly into your product. You control the entire user experience and branding while we power the accounting functionality behind the scenes.

Does Layer integrate with other accounting software like QuickBooks?

Layer is a complete accounting software suite that fully replaces external accounting tools like QuickBooks. Your customers can manage all of their accounting workflows, from bookkeeping to report generation, seamlessly inside your platform.

How long does it take to integrate Layer?

You can get started with Layer in two ways. You can use our hosted offering, which requires no engineering effort on your side, or quickly integrate Layer directly into your platform using our UI components, a process that typically takes about two to three weeks.

What kind of integration and enablement support does Layer provide?

Layer’s Sales Engineering team provides dedicated support while you build your integration. Our Customer Success team will help you prepare your go-to-market plan across sales, marketing, & support to ensure a successful launch. Following launch we’ll stay close with ongoing success reviews and trainings.

How does the bookkeeping service work?

Your customers will get a dedicated bookkeeper who handles all of their bookkeeping each month. Their bookkeeper will handle all account reconciliation and produce complete financial reports each month. Customers message and schedule calls with their bookkeeper whenever they need, directly through your platform.

What kinds of SMB platforms does Layer work with?

Layer partners with SMB platforms of all types. We work with vertical SaaS platforms, horizontal SaaS platforms, and fintechs serving SMBs. In each case, we work closely with the platform to launch accounting and bookkeeping products tailored to the unique needs of their SMB customers.

How does Layer get access to data?

Layer pulls the data directly from your platform and connects with SMB bank accounts through Plaid and Stripe. This ensures every transaction is accurate, verified, and always up to date.

How does Layer handle data and security?

Platforms have full control over their user data and control data access, data deletion and data export.
