FOR STARTUPS
One platform instead of a tool stack
Invoicing, expenses, payroll, and taxes in one place — with a real-time dashboard on top and an API underneath. Start on the Free plan and add your team as you grow.
A quick look at running a startup's back office in Cove.
ONE PLATFORM
From first invoice to first hire
Early-stage teams burn hours stitching together an invoicing tool, a spreadsheet, and a payroll provider. Cove keeps the whole flow in one workspace: issue the invoice, log the expense, run payroll, and watch the numbers land on your dashboard. In English or Bulgarian, for local and international clients alike.
Multi-currency invoicing
Bill international clients in their currency. Amounts convert at the document date using ECB reference rates, and the finished PDF goes out by email with payment status tracked from sent to paid.
Clients without the typing
Company details auto-fill from the tax ID and VAT registrations are validated against VIES — a new client is seconds of work, not a form.
Roles as you hire
Invite teammates by email and pick from six roles over twenty permissions — from full admin to read-only viewer — so access grows with the org chart.
HR from employee number one
Employment contracts and other HR documents generate as DOCX and PDF, and payroll produces a payslip for every employee.
LIVE NUMBERS
Live KPIs from day one
Where the money goes shouldn't be a question you answer once a month from a spreadsheet. The Overview dashboard puts revenue, expenses, profit, and outstanding invoices on one screen, updating in real time as the team works.
The four numbers that matter
Revenue, expenses, profit, and outstanding invoices tracked in real time — the state of the company at a glance.
Your layout, not ours
Trend charts and KPI widgets you can drag into your own arrangement, so the dashboard reads the way you think.
Spending, classified as it happens
120+ expense categories, AI receipt scanning, and per-expense VAT treatment keep every euro accounted for.
Who still owes you
Every invoice carries a paid, unpaid, or overdue status, and client records keep revenue history per client.
Your back office, scriptable
Cove is not a closed box. The workspace you run in the browser is the same one you can drive from code — automate billing from your product, push events into your own stack, and let AI clients handle the bookkeeping chores.
A REST API with real ergonomics
Clients, invoices, expenses, revenue, products, HR, and calendar over /api/v1.
An OpenAPI 3.1 spec
Interactive docs, cursor pagination, and idempotency keys for safe retries.
An MCP server, not a wrapper
~141 scope-filtered tools for Claude, ChatGPT desktop, or Cursor, with one-click connect over OAuth 2.1.
Webhooks for your stack
Workspace events delivered from a hardened outbox, with full delivery history in the dashboard.
Scoped, revocable keys
Per-key rate limits with quota headers — and every key can be revoked at any time.
The same rules everywhere
Every API and MCP call passes the same role, permission, and workspace checks as the dashboard.
