Accounting Systems Implementation

Businesses need real-time information in order to make decisions as well as lending and due diligence purpose either when you apply for a loan or are seeking investment from Angel and Venture Capital sources. We assist businesses with set up and staff training with Quickbooks Online. We can also assist business that may want to make the switch from Desktop to Online. We use templates and can help to create a chart of accounts that works specifically for your startup. We recognize that business owners may want to have a more detailed analysis of the various operations/business lines that make up their operations and use division (class) tracking in Quickbooks to give our clients the finer detail they need to see how they are operating across multiple business lines.

Quickbooks Online Pro-Advisors and Advanced Online Proadvisors

Our team consists of Quickbooks Online Pro-Advisors and Advanced Online Proadvisors and we have a lot of experience working with Xero and Wave apps two other popular accounting solutions. We have also got a working knowledge of Freshbooks and other G/L Packages such as Aplos.

CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT

Cash is king when it comes to business and we can assist founders with budgeting and financial modeling tools to ensure they are able to accurately plan ahead and understand their runway and burn-rate. This allows you to better plan your fundraising efforts, determine staffing levels,give your department heads budgets to work with and give you all the information needed to make an informed decision.

Virtual Controller/CFO Solutions

Seed to Series A Startups often lack financial expertise in their management teams as there is usually an emphasis placed on technical roles at the early-stage. We can assist in these transitional periods to help founders with high level financial decision making as they navigate a high-growth stage in their businesses. Our virtual controller/CFO solutions are ideally a short-term fix as your startup looks to hire someone full-time in the role.

Board & Investor Reporting

We assist founders with developing board decks, highlighting the information their board needs to see in order to help steer the ship as founders navigate the Seed to Series A inflection point. Our philosophy is to produce concise reporting and graphics that can clearly articulate the financial picture to the board so as to facilitate the management team’s discussion and highlight to the board potential action items.
