    We keep your books tight and up to date on an accrual basis, so you’re never guessing at your numbers. Ready for board meetings, tax season, or just making better calls.

  • Fractional CFO Services

    We give you seasoned CFO-level insight when you need it most—budgeting, modeling, investor prep, and fundraising strategy. Long-term or just-in-time.

  • Revenue Recognition

    We manage accrual accounting and handle revenue recognition with precision—so you’re reporting what you’ve actually earned, not just what hit the bank.

  • Debt facility Negotiation & Management

    We help you structure, negotiate, and manage startup debt—so you get the capital you need without signing something you’ll regret.

  • Grant Reporting

    We track spending, document use of funds, and build reports that meet grantor requirements—so you stay compliant, audit-ready, and focused on execution.

  • Modeling & Fundraise Prep

    We build models you can defend in the room. Scenario planning, KPI tracking, and decks that back up your story.

  • M&A Transaction Advisory

    We help you navigate the full M&A deal lifecycle—from planning and diligence to integration—so you make confident calls, avoid landmines, and walk away with a deal that delivers.

  • Tax Compliance

    We fully manage your tax filings and compliance calendar—so you’re always on time, and never scrambling.

Built for Speed, Backed by Experience

We’ve supported founders through messy early days, investor diligence, first hires, and real growing pains. We don’t overbuild, oversell, or overcomplicate—we give you exactly what you need, right when you need it.
