Finance performance company
Cash flow performance for SMEs and the firms that serve them.
Onwards Capita combines CFO execution, accounting firm workflow insight, and finance grade platforms, helping SMEs act earlier on cash decisions and helping accounting firms deliver advisory value with better economics.
The operating layer
The same finance problem, seen from two sides
SMEs need earlier cash decisions.
Accounting firms need better advisory economics.
SMEs have records, reports, and dashboards, but still lack clear answers to what matters most: how much cash is really free, what is coming next, and what to do now.
Firms face the other side: they hold the data and the trust, but their economics are trapped in manual compliance work. This is the gap Onwards Capita was built to close.
The decision lag
- Late cash visibility
- Weak forward view
- Decisions made too late
- Lender readiness gaps
The economics trap
- Manual review burden
- Rework cycles
- Compliance margin pressure
- Advisory difficult to scale
What Onwards Capita does
CFO Execution services.
Onwards Capita provides selective CFO services when cash flow, working capital, lender readiness, or decision control need action, then turns the repeatable parts of that work into Cleriqa so the same operating model can scale.
The goal is not more reporting. The goal is trusted decisions before cash pressure becomes a crisis.
Three ways value is created
One company, three connected layers.
Selective CFO services
Direct CFO support for SMEs facing cash pressure, working capital issues, lender discussions, finance cleanup, or decision critical planning.

Explore Cleriqa for accounting firms →The platform built from the work
Cleriqa was born from the work we could no longer scale manually.
Cleriqa began inside Onwards Capita, a CFO execution firm, not a software lab. It was built from recurring SME finance problems and from the reality that accounting firms had the data and client trust, but not the economics to deliver CFO grade advisory at scale.
Built from real CFO execution
Built by operators, not from theory.
Onwards Capita was founded by Frédéric Vérin, a CFO operator with more than 22 years of finance leadership across cash management, working capital, restructuring, fundraising, M&A, and finance transformation. Cleriqa extends that operating experience into a platform built for real SME finance workflows.
