Startup bookkeeping questions

Startup bookkeeping questions

What is included in monthly bookkeeping?

We categorize transactions, reconcile your financial accounts, maintain the general ledger, complete the monthly close, and prepare your financial statements.

How often will I receive financial reports?

You receive an updated profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement after each monthly close.

Will I be able to track burn and runway?

Yes. We use your monthly financials to give you a consistent view of cash, burn, and estimated runway.

Can you work with our existing finance tools?

Yes. We coordinate data from your banks, cards, payroll, expense tools, and payment processors as part of the bookkeeping process.

Can you clean up our existing books?

Yes. We begin by reviewing your current books, identifying historical issues, and determining what needs to be corrected before the ongoing monthly close.

Can I speak directly with the team handling my account?

Yes. You get a private Slack channel where you can ask questions and share information directly with your accounting team.

Do you handle tax as well as bookkeeping?

Yes. Tax services can be coordinated with your bookkeeping so both are based on the same financial information.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is based on the size and complexity of your business. Once the scope is clear, you receive a predictable monthly fee.
