Starting a business is exhilarating, but it comes with its fair share of challenges, especially when it comes to managing finances. At Archer Lewis, we understand the unique needs of startups and early-stage companies. Our tailored financial and accounting services are designed to help founders focus on growth while we handle the numbers. Here’s how we can support your startup’s journey to success.
1. Streamlined Bookkeeping for Clarity and Control
Accurate bookkeeping is the backbone of any successful business. Our team ensures your financial records are up-to-date, organized, and compliant. From tracking daily transactions to managing accounts payable and receivable, we use cutting-edge tools like QuickBooks, NetSuite, and Xero to give you real-time insights into your financial health. Say goodbye to late-night spreadsheet struggles and hello to clarity.
2. Strategic Financial Planning to Fuel Growth
Cash flow is king for startups, and running out of runway is not an option. We work with you to create robust budgets, cash flow forecasts, and financial projections that align with your business goals. Whether you’re preparing for a funding round or scaling operations, our financial planning services help you make informed decisions and stay ahead of the curve.
3. Tax Compliance and Optimization
Navigating tax regulations can be daunting, but we’ve got you covered. Our experts handle federal, state, and local tax filings, ensuring compliance while maximizing deductions. From income and payroll taxes to sales tax obligations, we help you avoid costly penalties and keep more money in your business.
4. Seamless Payroll Management
Your team is your greatest asset, and paying them shouldn’t be a headache. We offer comprehensive payroll services, including salary processing, tax withholdings, and benefits management. By leveraging platforms like Gusto, we ensure your employees are paid on time and your business stays compliant with labor laws.
5. Professional Employer Organization (PEO) Services
Scaling your team comes with HR complexities, but our PEO services simplify the process. As your co-employer, we handle payroll, benefits administration, workers’ compensation, and HR compliance, allowing you to attract top talent while reducing administrative burdens. Our PEO solutions are flexible and cost-effective, tailored to your startup’s needs.
6. Investor-Ready Financial Reporting
Impressing investors requires more than a great pitch—it demands solid financials. We prepare professional balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports that tell your startup’s story in numbers. Our reports are clear, accurate, and tailored to meet the expectations of angel investors, VCs, or lenders.
7. Fundraising Support to Secure Capital
Raising capital is a critical milestone for startups, and our deep knowledge of fundraising sets us apart. Our team assists with financial modeling, pitch deck preparation, and due diligence, ensuring your business stands out to investors. Whether you’re seeking seed funding or a Series A round, we help you showcase your growth potential and build trust with stakeholders.
8. Equity and Cap Table Management
As your startup grows, so does the complexity of your ownership structure. We provide cap table management services to track equity, stock options, and grants. We ensure your equity records are accurate and transparent, giving you peace of mind as you scale.
9. Fractional CFO Expertise for Big-Picture Strategy
Not ready for a full-time CFO? Our fractional CFO services offer strategic financial guidance without the hefty price tag. From managing your burn rate to optimizing your cash runway, we provide the high-level insights you need to make bold, confident decisions.
10. Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) for Data-Driven Decisions
To stay competitive, startups need more than just historical data; they need forward-looking insights. Our FP&A services deliver detailed analysis of your financial performance, including variance analysis, scenario planning, and key performance indicator (KPI) tracking. We help you identify trends, optimize resource allocation, and drive profitability, empowering you to make data-driven decisions with confidence.
