For Startups, Accounting is Not the Same as Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping (Accounting) for startups can be considerably different than that of a small business, a difference that often requires the guidance of a CFO to ensure books are GAAP compliant and audit-ready at due diligence time. In fact, we believe that as a venture-backed startup you don’t need a ”bookkeeper” you need an accountant. Your current flow of payables and receivables may not require the full-time in-house support of an accountant, (you may not even have an active revenue line yet) but you still need a dedicated and accessible accounting service to ensure your business doesn't get tripped up along its accelerated growth path. Outsourced accounting services familiar with startup needs can provide you the expertise and reliability you need to streamline operations and focus on growth.
Experienced services like Countsy exist to make light work of the accounting for startups. Staying on top of payables, receivables, sales tax reporting, payroll tax reporting, banking and credit card reconciliations and balance sheet reconciliations in preparation for your monthly close. In addition to getting the job done, you also gain the confidence of a dedicated Countsy CFO and the team of accounting professionals well versed in best practices and systemizing your financial processes.
