Startup End-to-End Support

One finance partner from incorporation through to your next round, without building the function in-house.

Schedule a Consultation

Startups do not need a compliance vendor. They need a finance partner who can register the company quickly, close the books on time every month, and sit across the table when a term sheet arrives. We work as an extension of the founding team, covering the full range of what a startup needs from both a CA desk and a CFO desk, without the overhead of building either function in-house.

    Founder call

    Stage, funding path and what is currently breaking.

What you receive

incorporation and registration certificates, monthly management accounts and MIS, a maintained runway and unit economics view, statutory filings, and a data room that stays current rather than being built under deadline.

Why work with us04 reasons

  • One team at every stage

    From incorporation onward, there is no point at which you have to switch advisors because you outgrew the last one.

  • Direct access to a CFO, not a rotating contact

    Founder-facing work is handled by the partner on the engagement.

  • Fundraise-ready as a default state

    Clean books and complete compliance mean diligence is a document exchange rather than a fire drill.

  • Flexible commitment

    Retainer-based support that scales with your team, rather than a fixed-scope annual filing arrangement.

Frequently asked questions05 questions

Common questions, answered directly.

The queries that come up most often on startup end-to-end support engagements — answered plainly, without the hedging.

Still have a question? Contact us
We are pre-revenue. Is it too early to engage a firm like this?
Usually not, though the engagement looks different. At pre-revenue the work is incorporation, registrations, a clean chart of accounts and a defensible cap table — inexpensive to do properly now and expensive to reconstruct later, particularly once an investor's diligence team starts asking. The CFO layer scales up as the business does.
Can you take over books that are currently a mess?
Yes, and it is a common way engagements begin. We start with a books review that identifies what needs correcting or reconstructing, tell you plainly what that will take, and bring the ledger current before moving onto the ongoing monthly cycle.
Do you handle ESOP administration?
Yes — ESOP vesting tracking and exercise support are part of the payroll and people compliance work, alongside the accounting treatment and the perquisite tax position that applies when options are exercised.
What does fundraise-ready actually mean in practice?
It means the diligence request list holds no surprises: books reconciled and current, statutory filings complete, cap table and ESOP records consistent with the board resolutions behind them, and a financial model whose historicals tie back to the accounts. Most fundraise delays are caused by the absence of these rather than by the deal itself.
Is this a fixed package or scoped per business?
Scoped. A pre-seed company with four people and a Series A company with forty need different things from the same list, and paying for the second when you need the first is a poor use of a startup's cash. Engagements are retainer-based and reviewed as the business changes.
