Finance Portal
Every transaction witnessed, timestamped and locked at the moment of spend. Receipts, approvals, and a full audit trail — one ledger for every way a resident’s money moves.
Live inside a working UK care provider
Software built for supported living.
Finance. Care. Compliance. One platform.
Purpose-built tools for supported living and domiciliary providers — already in daily use and refined one shift at a time.
Rooted in 50 years of care-sector experience. Built by carers, for carers.
How it works, in practice
Captured as it happens. Not reconstructed at month-end.
Every transaction, care note, and compliance check is recorded in real time. By the time an inspector asks, the answer is already waiting.
Care Portal
Care plans, daily notes, and risk assessments — recorded at the point of support. Staff capture what matters in the moment, not from memory at the end of a shift.
Compliance Portal
Training sign-offs, policy acknowledgements, and regulatory checklists in one place. Inspection-ready exports in one click — any site, any day of the year.
Two screens, one source of truth
Built for the office and the living room.
Managers run the portal on a desk. Support workers use the app on shift, one-handed, in the moment. Every action in either place lands in the same record, in the same second.

The portal
For owners, managers and team leaders
One live view of every home, every resident, every record. Exceptions surface at the top. Audit exports are one click away.
The app
For support workers, on shift
Record in seconds — every entry filed as it happens, so nothing gets missed or forgotten by end of shift.
Three portals, one platform.
Most providers run finance, care recording, and compliance in three different places. Studio Laurie joins them up.
Finance Portal
Cash, card, and direct debit — every transaction captured at the moment of spend, with receipt, category, balance, and full audit trail. One ledger for every way a resident’s money moves.
Care Portal
Care plans, daily notes, and risk assessments — captured at the point of support, not reconstructed from memory. Staff record what matters in the moment so nothing falls through the cracks.
Compliance Portal
Training sign-offs, policy acknowledgements, and regulatory checklists — with role-based access and a manager dashboard that surfaces what needs attention at a glance.
The problem we can't ignore
33,000+
concluded safeguarding enquiries in England concerned financial or material abuse in 2024–25 — one of the most commonly reported categories of recorded harm in adult social care.
Supported living providers still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems to manage finances, care records, and compliance. Studio Laurie runs today inside a working UK provider — one platform where every transaction, care note, and compliance check is recorded, evidenced, and visible to the people who need it.

Introducing the Appointee Portal
The hardest problem in care, solved in a single login.
A companion portal for the parents, deputies and DWP appointees who share responsibility for a resident's financial life.
The people most at risk of financial abuse in adult social care are the ones least able to speak for themselves - and the ones whose families have had the least visibility. The Appointee Portal changes that on day one.
Picture a Tuesday morning
A mum opens the appointee portal on her phone and sees, in live colour, every penny her son has spent this week - the category, the receipt, the staff member who signed it off. He still chooses. He still lives his own life. She just sees it.
For decades, parents and deputies of adults in supported living have had to trust and wait. Quarterly paper statements. Unanswered phone calls. Receipts taped into folders. The Appointee Portal flips the power dynamic in a single login - preserving the independence the resident has earned, while giving the people who love them the visibility to spot risk before it becomes harm.
This is least-restrictive practice made practical - the principle social-care law rests on, finally turned into software. The resident keeps full autonomy over their own money. The people legally responsible for them keep full visibility. Nobody has to choose between the two.

Read-only by design
Appointees see, they don’t edit. No accidental changes, ever.
Receipt-by-receipt
Every transaction carries its receipt, category, and named staff member.
Audit-ready always
PDF statements on demand. Every view logged. Every access traceable.
Interests aligned
Family, care team, and regulator see the same live data at the same time.
No other care-sector finance tool in the UK puts live, read-only financial visibility directly in the hands of families and appointees. It turns every day into an audit day - without anyone needing to act differently.
Compliance-ready, from day one.
Every organisation on Studio Laurie launches with a baseline safeguarding policy, a staff quick reference, and a competency sign-off form - so new staff can be trained, assessed, and filed on their first shift.
Use the baseline as-is, edit it to match your organisation's voice, or run it alongside your own in-house policies. Either way, you are meeting the minimum standards expected by CQC, the Care Act 2014, and UK GDPR.
