Contact: hej@purserhq.com. > **Short answer.** Purser is made by ASF Studio AB (reg. no. 559530-9385) in Nacka, Sweden, founded by Sacharias Sjöqvist. He built Purser after paying for bookkeeping software and still putting the bookkeeping off, month after month. ASF Studio AB's books are kept in Purser. You can reach us at hej@purserhq.com. ## Why does Purser exist? Purser exists because its founder needed it. In Sacharias Sjöqvist's words: “I paid a year up front for bookkeeping software and then put the bookkeeping off to next month. Every month. So I built what was missing.” What was missing was something that does the work but asks before anything is booked or sent. Purser prepares invoices, receipts, bank, VAT, payroll and year-end, and the owner says yes, signs and pays. ## Who builds Purser? Purser is built by ASF Studio AB, founded by Sacharias Sjöqvist.
