Because you have better things to think about, than...
You did not quit your cushy job to record transactions in books or prepare board reports.
We know you are smart enough to do this on your own, but you already know that the garbage you put into the accounting books on the last Friday of the quarter, is the garbage that comes back in your board reports.
Accounting needs to be someone’s #1 priority, but should that someone really be you?
Your wish for the boring-but-reliable accountant has been granted. This is all we do, and we are good at it. But don’t call us to your office parties, we are not exactly party animals. You focus on growing your company, adding users, building the right team, and fall in love again with what you do.
Recording and classifying daily transactions, reconciling bank accounts, managing account receivables and payables, cash application against invoices, payroll, and maintaining GAAP-compliant books. We test your transaction classification against thousands of similar transactions to get the classification correct. No garbage in!
Financial models that even engineers can use! Custom inputs that force you to think through your company construction over the next couple years. Forecast and budget vs. actual charts that you can plop straight into your Board presentation. Want to track your fancy SaaS metrics? We got your covered!
Executive-level financial leadership, including preparing for and attending Board meetings, creating financial forecasts, tracking Key Performance Indicators, providing a eagle eye view to the senior management of what is important to focus on.
When was the last time someone gave you actionable feedback on your pitch? Did someone translate VC English into normal English that you could understand? How much money to raise? At what valuation? How to get that valuation? Which VC to talk to? How to get to them?
Not every start-up can afford a CFO, but the investment structuring, equity / option allocation, spending, and human resource decisions you make in the early stages of your business can make or break you.
