What you get
One subscription. A CFO and a finance team, built into your business.
Your CFO
A dedicated CFO who works directly with founders on company strategy, capital allocation, and the operating rigor required to scale — and is in the room for the calls that matter, not a report you read after the fact.
- Company strategy alongside the founders
- Capital allocation across R&D, infra, product & growth
- Board decks and the metrics that matter
- Operating rigor to scale without breaking
- Driver-based forecasts & scenario planning
- Runway and burn management
Your Finance Team
Investor-grade financials, a clean data room, and a model your leads can stress-test. Bookkeeping and monthly close run underneath it all, so the numbers behind your raise are accurate before anyone asks.
- Investor-grade financials & data room
- Fundraising models and cap-table-aware reporting
- Monthly bookkeeping and close
- Bank & account reconciliation
- Monthly P&L, balance sheet & cash flow
- Investor updates and KPI reporting
Your Tax Team
Hyper-growth means messy economics: compute and inference costs, R&D spend, and tax exposure that moves every quarter. In-house EAs and CPAs plan tax in real time and help you optimize AI economics while you keep moving fast.
- AI cost & margin analysis (compute, inference, model spend)
- R&D tax credit capture
- Real-time tax planning all year
- Federal & state tax preparation
- Quarterly estimate management
- Year-end and audit-ready records
The questions that matter
The questions a founder shouldn't answer alone.
A bookkeeper records what already happened. A real CFO sits with you on the decisions that decide the next 18 months — and helps you answer the hardest ones.
How do we grow to billions in revenue?
Where should we invest across research, infrastructure, product, and growth?
How do we optimize AI economics while continuing to move fast?
What does a hyper-growth startup's finance and operating system look like?
A complete finance team.
Not three separate hires.
Building finance in-house means recruiting a CFO, a bookkeeper, and a CPA — six figures each and months to hire. Figures gives you all three as one team, for a flat monthly fee, live in two weeks.
