As an entrepreneur, you know the value of budgeting your money, but your biggest asset is time. We provide on-demand full-stack CFO office support saving you 5-20 valuable hours a month. Here is how we have helped some of our startup partners: A specialty clothing e-tailer approached us while struggling to match their costs with the revenue. We helped them set up an inventory management system to account for COGS correctly according to the product line. This enabled a more data-based decision-making process that led to improved profitability and reduced working capital being locked up in slow-moving inventory. In another instance, we offered part-time CFO services to a browser-based web conferencing company, set up their financial books, managed payrolls, and decreased their current and future tax liabilities. This saved them the full-time cost of hiring an accountant, a controller, and a CFO.When a B2B2C SaaS startup raised its first round and started to expand its headcount, we helped set up their healthcare benefits plan. Our expertise in the field helped them choose the right healthcare plan, resulting in a monthly saving that amounts to more than our cost of running their CFO’s office on a monthly basis.We helped the founder of an early-stage company pick the right corporate structure for the long-term viability and sustainability of his business. Our belief in their product and trust in the founder’s abilities led us to manage his entire back office, set up financial books, filing taxes for him: all free of charge until he raised his first round of outside funding.We helped the founders of an e-Commerce infrastructure company navigate the rough waters in an M&A situation. Our cleanly maintained books and backup schedules allayed the buyer’s fear of unknown liabilities. This allowed us to successfully negotiate the reduction of the hold-back by the buyer from 40% to 10% of total deal value.
