SaaS · Series A Startup — San Francisco, CA
Replaced In-House Bookkeeping for a US SaaS Startup
The Challenge
A Series A SaaS company had an in-house senior bookkeeper costing $95K/year but couldn't keep up with ASC 606 revenue recognition, Stripe reconciliation, and the monthly close — taking 18+ days every month and frustrating the CFO and board.
Our Approach
We built a dedicated US SaaS accounting pod — senior bookkeeper, controller, and ASC 606 specialist — at a flat monthly fee. We rebuilt the deferred revenue waterfall, automated Stripe and NetSuite reconciliation, and standardized the monthly close checklist.
The Result
The in-house hire was redeployed to a strategic FP&A role. Monthly close went from 18 days to 5 business days. Total annual cost dropped by 62%. Audit prep time at year-end dropped 70%. The CFO closed their Series B with audit-ready financials 6 months later.
