innosity comes from the finance function of regulated companies — group and single-entity reporting, the closing cycle, and the systems that carry it. Consulting is most of what we do. What we invest in, and who we introduce to whom, follows from the same ground.

Consulting
We work where the numbers are made
Consulting is the larger part of innosity. We work with finance and reporting functions in regulated environments: the group and single-entity close, the systems that produce it, and the reconciliations in between.
Our starting point is how the figures actually come about — which system holds them, who checks what against what, and where the close loses time.
Reporting & Close
Group and single-entity reporting, consolidation, and the calendar they run on. We help structure the cycle and make the path from ledger to statement traceable.
Group and single-entity close
Consolidation and reconciliation
Audit support and documentation
Finance Systems
The systems that reporting runs on, and the work of moving from one to the next. We support selection, integration and migration into a new environment.
Selection and integration
Migration of reporting processes
Interfaces to ledgers and source systems
AI in the Reporting Cycle
In a supervised environment AI earns its place at specific points, not across the board: reconciliation, variance analysis, drafting and review.

How we work
We start in the cycle itself. One close, watched from end to end, usually says more than a workshop does.
From there the work can be anything from a written recommendation to sitting with the team through the next implementation.
innosity invests its own money in a handful of companies. What we can judge is what we have seen from the inside: how a company’s figures come about, how a team handles a deadline it cannot move, and whether a product survives contact with a regulated buyer.
We look closely at the people. Whether they see the same problem from more than one side, and whether they can say plainly what they do not yet know, tells us more than a plan does.
We invest rarely, and stay
innosity is a small holding. The number of companies we can properly look after is the limit, not the ambition. Once we hold one, we stay with it.
Early
Ideas and teams from before the structures have settled.
Growth
Past the first product, where the organisation becomes the constraint.
Established
A working business, where the next constraint sits in reporting and control.
Investment Focus
AI in Financial Reporting · Biotechnology · Circular Economy
Three fields we follow. The first is where our own work sits; the other two we watch because the questions in them are worth understanding.
AI in Financial Reporting
Where our own work sits
Systems that produce or check supervised figures, and the tools being built around them. We can tell a demonstration from a tool that holds up in a close.
Biotechnology
Science first
Developments in health and research where the science has already stood up to somebody else’s scrutiny. The timelines are long, and that suits us.
Circular Economy
Material, not messaging
Using material more than once, treated as an engineering problem — collection, processing and reuse that carry their own costs and still come out ahead.
Networking
The right introduction at the right time
Networking is the smallest part of innosity. We make an introduction when we can see why it would help.
It is about people and collaboration, not about arranging investments or financial products for third parties.
Question ↔ Experience
Most of it is specific: a person with a particular problem, put in front of a person who has already had it.
Company ↔ Company
Two companies that should know each other, introduced with the reason spelled out.

Tell us about it, and one of us will answer you personally.
Send a message
Thank you for your message.
We have received your enquiry and will get back to you personally. A confirmation has also been sent to your email address.
We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains which personal data we process when you visit this website or contact us, for which purposes and on which legal basis, and the rights available to you.
1. Controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the national data protection laws of the EU Member States and other applicable data protection provisions is:
We process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, handle enquiries or protect legitimate interests. Where processing is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract, it is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other processing described below is generally based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The information provided when data is collected is governed by Article 13 GDPR.
3. Hosting and technical provision of the website
This website is provided through Azure Static Web Apps. Azure Static Web Apps is a hosting service for static websites with integrated serverless APIs; the contact API is implemented using Azure Functions.
In connection with the technical provision of the website, the following technically necessary data may be processed in particular:
IP address
Date and time of access
Requested file or URL
Referrer URL
Browser type and version
Operating system
Hostname of the accessing system
This processing is carried out to ensure stability, security, content delivery and error analysis on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where Microsoft processes personal data on our behalf in connection with Azure and Microsoft 365 services, this is governed by Microsoft's contractual data protection terms, in particular the Microsoft Products and Services Data Protection Addendum (DPA).
4. Contact form
If you contact us through the contact form, we process the data you enter in order to handle your enquiry. This includes in particular:
Name
Company
Email address
Message
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to entering into or preparing a contract; otherwise, it is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in efficiently handling business enquiries.
The form data is not stored in a separate website database. It is processed through Azure Functions within the Microsoft Azure platform, dispatched through Azure Communication Services and delivered internally to a business email account of innosity GmbH. The person making the enquiry also receives an automatic acknowledgement email. The data is subsequently processed and stored in our business email system for the purpose of handling the enquiry.
Technical dispatch and error records may contain a request ID, message ID, dispatch or delivery status and technical error information. The full message text is not written to application or Function logs.
To protect the contact API against automated misuse, we use a hidden honeypot field, a plausibility check of the submission time and a persistent rate limit. For the rate limit, the source network address is used only in memory to create a daily rotating pseudonymous hash. The raw address is not stored in the rate-limit store. Counter records are automatically deleted after no more than 24 hours. These security measures are based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in protecting the website, the email service and associated costs.
5. Contact by email or telephone
If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the personal data you provide solely to handle your enquiry and for any necessary follow-up communication. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual enquiries and otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
6. Cookies, tracking and access to terminal equipment
We currently do not use cookies for analytics, marketing or tracking purposes and do not use any non-essential technologies to store information on your device or access information stored on it. If such technologies are introduced in the future, we will first implement the legally required choice mechanism and update this Privacy Policy.
7. Fonts
The fonts used on this website are hosted locally. Loading the website does not establish a connection to external font services, and no personal data is transferred to external font providers for this purpose.
8. Recipients and processors
Where necessary for the purposes described above, personal data may be disclosed to the following categories of recipients:
Microsoft Azure hosting and infrastructure services, including Azure Static Web Apps, Azure Functions, Azure Communication Services and Azure Storage
Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online as the business email system
Internal personnel responsible for handling enquiries
Where external service providers process personal data on our behalf, they do so only under an appropriate data processing agreement or the applicable contractual terms. For Microsoft services, the Microsoft DPA sets out the relevant data protection and security conditions.
We do not sell personal data or disclose it for advertising purposes.
9. Retention period
Form data is not retained in a separate website database. Enquiries and related correspondence stored in the business email system are deleted when the purpose of processing no longer applies, unless statutory or contractual retention obligations require continued storage. Technical dispatch and error records are retained only for the period necessary for delivery monitoring, security and error analysis. Pseudonymous rate-limit counters are deleted automatically after no more than 24 hours.
10. Your rights
Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you have in particular the following rights:
Right of access
Right to rectification
Right to erasure
Right to restriction of processing
Right to data portability
Right to object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority
11. No obligation to provide data
You are not legally required to provide us with personal data. Without certain information, particularly the required details in a contact enquiry, we may be unable to process your enquiry or may only be able to process it in part.
