Starting a business is an exhilarating journey, but managing finances can often feel like navigating a labyrinth. For startups, financial management is crucial to ensure sustainability and growth. Simplifying your startup’s finances can save you time, reduce stress, and allow you to focus on what you do best—innovating and growing your business. Here’s how you can streamline your financial processes with online bookkeeping services, tax preparation and compliance, and financial reporting for stakeholders.
Bookkeeping is the backbone of any business’s financial health. It involves recording all financial transactions, including sales, purchases, income, and payments. For startups, maintaining accurate and up-to-date books is essential for making informed business decisions. However, traditional bookkeeping methods can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This is where online bookkeeping services come into play.
Accessibility and Convenience: Online bookkeeping services allow you to access your financial data anytime, anywhere. This is particularly beneficial for startups with remote teams or those who travel frequently.
Automation: Many online bookkeeping platforms offer automation features that can handle repetitive tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliation. This reduces the risk of human error and saves valuable time.
Real-Time Updates: With online bookkeeping, your financial data is updated in real-time. This means you always have the most current information at your fingertips, enabling you to make timely and informed decisions.
Cost-Effective: Online bookkeeping services are often more affordable than hiring a full-time bookkeeper. They offer various pricing plans to suit different business needs and budgets.
Security: Reputable online bookkeeping platforms use advanced security measures to protect your financial data. This includes encryption, secure servers, and regular backups.
Our track record and talent. We are your long-term SaaS accounting partner. The US-based team we allocate to you will work with only a handful of clients at a time, ensuring they are high-touch, embedded in your business, and feel like an in-house team. Here are the key reasons why startups prefer us.
We handle the financials so you can focus on scaling your business.
Trusted by hundreds of successful startups.
We support you from seed to exit, so you never have to switch firms.
Our team consists of experienced controllers, accountants, and bookkeepers who specialize in SaaS accounting.
We develop accounting processes that fit your unique business needs.
From financial planning to tax compliance, we offer end-to-end services.
Our team comprises CFOs, accountants, investors, and entrepreneurs with extensive expertise in startup finance, accounting, and tax.
The main reasons startups choose to work with us are:
Our track record: We’ve helped countless startups grow from a few team members to hundreds of employees, and for many, we’ve scaled with them through their exits.
In-House Feel: With other firms, you’ll likely get a team from a service center that is working with 15 or 20 clients at a time. We are the opposite side of the spectrum. We are your long-term partner, and the US-based team we allocate to you will only be working with a handful of clients at a time, so they can be high-touch, embedded in your business, and feel like an in-house team.
Scalability: Hopping from accounting firm to accounting firm as you scale is not fun. That’s why startups prefer Graphite. We are a one-stop-shop. We handle everything (bookkeeping, operational accounting, CFO, FP&A, tax, etc.) and have yet to meet our match in terms of scale.
Robust Reporting: The clients that work with us receive some of the most insightful business reporting in the industry. Here is an example of our financial health dashboard that we set up for our clients. We help our operators keep a tight understanding of unit economics, growth and capital needs.
Top Talent: Our team members have worked with hundreds of startups, and have a wealth of knowledge about your specific industry.
Our pricing structure is really simple and extremely fair…it has to be, as we focus on startups and growing companies. Because we are more of a long-term finance partner (which is what you want) compared to a short term “outsourced” bookkeeping firm, all of our engagements are custom.
Most of our clients come to us from a sub par experience with another firm, so we are used to facilitating and managing transitions. Along with your direct Ledgerive team, every client is also staffed with an onboarding manager who will be the one to manage the transition so you don’t have to.
Every client we work with is assigned a dedicated team, usually consisting of two to four team members. Of those team members, we will define a main point of contact. We love Slack, so if you use it, we can create a Slack instance and communicate there. We also will create an email alias so you can simply email one email address that will go to your entire Graphite team.
We are speaking with most of our clients on a regular basis. Some daily. Others have weekly or bi-weekly standing meetings. Think of it like this: However you would communicate with an internal finance team, that’s how we will communicate.
Locations: WY HQ / Clients around the world
With team members across the country and clients worldwide, we cast a wide net.
