Their custom roasting service empowers businesses to craft their own unique coffee blends, enabling them to bring their distinct coffee vision to life with ease and expertise.

The Challenge

As Timely Coffees experienced rapid growth, they encountered various financial and operational challenges that threatened to hold their business back. Transitioning from a trust to a company brought several legal and financial complexities. Navigating corporate compliance, restructuring their financial processes and meeting tax obligations required expertise that wasn’t available in-house, leaving the team stretched thin.

At the same time, launching a crowdfunding campaign through Birchal added a new layer of pressure. The process of meeting regulatory requirements, preparing detailed financial reports and creating a compelling pitch for potential investors was daunting and time-consuming.

Internally, the pressures of growth revealed critical gaps in their financial systems. Without streamlined processes to manage cash flow effectively, track expenses accurately and make informed decisions, Timely risked losing control over their financial health. At this pivotal stage in their journey, they needed an expert financial partner who could navigate these complexities and set them up for long-term success.
