For founders who report to investors or are getting ready to raise. A monthly close you can stand behind, investor updates built from real numbers, burn and runway you can trust, and the tax elections that are easy to miss in year one. Fixed monthly fee, reviewed by a Florida licensed CPA.
Fixed fees, quoted in writing before any work starts.
Investors rarely ask for perfect. They ask for numbers that arrive on time, agree with each other and do not change after the fact.
Accrual books, every account reconciled, revenue and expenses in the right month. The same close date every month, so updates go out on schedule.
Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash, burn, runway and budget against actual, with short notes on what moved. Built from the closed books, not a separate spreadsheet.
A clean history, deferred revenue handled properly, equity on the balance sheet that agrees with your cap table, and tax filings current. Diligence goes faster and costs less.
Scoped to your stage and confirmed in writing.
QuickBooks Online set up the way investors read it, with a chart of accounts that separates cost of revenue, R&D, sales and general costs.
A monthly or quarterly package in a consistent format, ready to drop into your investor update or board deck.
Net burn calculated the same way every month, runway from real cash, and an annual budget you can measure against.
Annual contracts, prepayments and usage billing recognized in the right period, so revenue and cash each tell the truth.
Federal corporate return, Florida corporate income tax, and the Delaware annual report and franchise tax if you incorporated there.
Qualifying engineering and product work can offset payroll tax even before you have income. See our R&D credit page.
We do not issue 409A valuations. We give your valuation provider the financials they need and record the results.
Financing documents, option plans and entity agreements belong with your attorney. We provide the numbers and the tax analysis.

Generally a Delaware annual report and franchise tax by March 1, a federal corporate return, and a Florida corporate income tax return if the company does business in Florida. The company also needs to be registered to do business in Florida.
Often, yes. A qualified small business, generally one with under $5 million in gross receipts and no receipts more than five years ago, can apply up to $500,000 of credit per year against payroll tax. The election is made on a timely filed original return.
Seed rounds rarely require one. Some later-stage investors and lenders ask for reviewed or audited statements. Clean monthly books with proper revenue recognition make that work faster and less expensive.
A fixed monthly fee based on transaction volume, the reporting you need and the returns to be filed. It is quoted in writing before any work starts. The quote tool takes about two minutes and gives us what we need to price it.
