Startup Bookkeeping is More Than Taxes
Venture-backed startups fail when they rely on generalist CPAs who miss accrual-basis expense matching and option-pool tracking.
Uncontrolled Cash Burn Rates
Tracking runway on cash-basis is a recipe for sudden business death. Without clean accrual accounting, prepayments, software SaaS annual contracts, and payroll cycles mask true burn.
Carta & Cap Table Disconnect
Misallocating stock options, vesting schedules, SAFEs, and seed warrants in the general ledger creates huge delays during Series A/B due diligence.
Missed R&D Tax Savings
Failing to tag and document qualifying developer wages, QA contractor fees, and cloud servers means losing out on $250k+ in payroll tax credits.
GAAP-compliant ledgers ready for diligence.
We map your cap table, corporate cards, and developer payroll into audit-ready monthly files.
GAAP-Compliant Accrual Financials
We set up investor-ready accrual books. We amortize annual SaaS subscriptions, allocate capital raises (SAFEs/Convertible Notes), and structure professional balance sheets that pass venture VC due diligence.
Corporate Treasury & Card Sync
We integrate your high-velocity corporate credit cards and treasury tools (Ramp, Brex, Mercury, Chase) directly with QuickBooks. We reconcile every single startup transaction with automated receipt capture workflows.
R&D Tax Credit Accounting
We build detailed R&D tracking systems that trace engineer wages, server costs, and third-party QA contractors. We export clean, IRS-approved logs that allow you to claim up to $250,000 in federal tax credits.
