What you are hiring
What does startup accounting add to the monthly books?
Books record what happened. Figures connects those monthly records to financial statements, forecasts, and a CFO who can help you make sense of cash, runway, hiring, and growth decisions.
You do not have to piece together separate bookkeeping, advisory, and tax conversations. The people maintaining the numbers and the people helping you use them work as one team.
The startup engagement
Current books. Clearer decisions.
The $1,999 plan covers the recurring finance work and the startup-specific modeling and reporting behind your next operating decision.
02. Models for decisions ahead
Financial modeling covers cash-flow forecasts, burn and runway, budgets, and scenarios for hiring or growth. Your CFO helps you update the assumptions as the business changes.
03. Financial reporting for stakeholders
Prepare the financial information behind board and investor updates, including relevant models and supporting records for a data room. Figures supports the numbers; it does not manage a fundraise or source investors.
04. Tax planning during the year
Figures' in-house Enrolled Agents and CPAs bring tax considerations into the discussion before decisions are final. Tax-return preparation and filing are separate services.
Questions for your CFO
Turn the monthly close into a working plan.
Startup reporting should help you test choices, not just file away last month's numbers.
How much runway do we have?
Compare spending and cash against the forecast, then revisit what changes if revenue or hiring moves.
What can we afford to commit to?
Model the financial effect of a hire, a product investment, or a change in pricing before you decide.
Which numbers need explaining?
Bring the relevant statements, assumptions, and supporting records into board or investor conversations.

How it works
Start with your current numbers.
A conversation first, then a clear scope and a working monthly rhythm.
Tell us what is changing
In a free consultation lasting 30 minutes, tell us about the business, the financial decisions ahead, and the reporting you need. We will discuss the right scope and advisory rhythm.
Connect your finance work
We review your current books and accounting software, assign your team, and set up the reporting and model work. Standard onboarding usually takes about two weeks; historical catch-up is scoped separately.
Close, report, and discuss
Each month, the team closes the books and prepares financial reporting. Your dedicated CFO uses those numbers in ongoing advisory conversations and updates the models as priorities change.
Questions about startup accounting
What do Figures' startup accounting services include?
For $1,999/month, Figures connects monthly bookkeeping and financial statements with a dedicated CFO, forecasts and scenario modeling, startup financial reporting, and year-round tax planning. The advisory cadence and reporting needs are agreed with your team during onboarding. Tax-return filing and catch-up bookkeeping are scoped separately.
Does Figures provide funding or run a fundraising process?
No. Figures does not lend money, find investors, or run your fundraise. The startup team can help prepare financial models, board or investor reporting, and supporting financial records for those conversations. The founder and their fundraising advisers own the capital-raising process.
What does a fractional CFO for startups do at Figures?
A fractional CFO provides part-time financial leadership. Figures pairs a dedicated CFO with monthly bookkeeping, financial statements, startup-specific planning, and year-round tax oversight in one engagement. Your CFO can use the records maintained by the same team.
Does the monthly price include tax filing or R&D tax credit refunds?
No. The monthly plan includes year-round tax planning, not tax-return preparation or filing. Figures does not provide R&D tax credit refund or recovery work under this startup service.
What if our books are behind or we already use accounting software?
We can review the accounting tool you already use, including QuickBooks or Xero. A paid software subscription remains your expense. Catch-up or cleanup of earlier periods is reviewed, scoped, and priced separately before it begins.
