Some of the services this startup accounting firm is expert in include finance tools integration, tax, R&D tax credit, building budgets, and fundraising preparation.
Pilot Success Story
Challenge: Trash is a video editing platform that had one of its founders keep company books for two years. Instead of investing time in building the startup's product, Karina Bernacki lost hours manually handling budget reports and other accounting tasks.

Solution: When Pilot took over, it synced all Trash's financial accounts, including payroll and accounting cards. The agency reconciled all books and started creating monthly statements, so all books were up to date. Finally, Pilot built custom reports for NSF to keep track of its funds.
Results: Thanks to working with Pilot, Trash now leaves a better impression on investors, having the board focus on strategy instead of financial decisions. NSF funding reports will make it easier for Trash to apply for future grants and raise more funds.

Being a completely scatty and non-tech driven "creative," I could not survive without Keach Assistants. They are calm people who can bring me down from the ceiling when I am panicked about something and who can deal with the more complicated details of my business proficiently and charmingly. It is always nice also to learn from them because they are knowledgeable in a wide range of business skills. Without a doubt, I would highly endorse their services to anybody seeking the services of a highly skilled VAs, but still offering fairly affordable prices.

I recommend this CPA is highly recommended for anyone who wants more than basic tax preparation and is looking for ongoing, strategic advice to legally minimize taxes and support long‑term financial goals. The combination of technical competence, proactive planning, and strong client communication makes this a valuable advisor for both personal and business tax needs.
Also his team kept strength is year‑round tax planning, including advice on maximizing deductions, timing income and expenses, and using retirement accounts or HSAs to reduce taxable income.
Manmeet also reviews available credits and incentives, and state‑specific tax breaks that many taxpayers overlook.

He has truly been an invaluable asset to our small business. His guidance has helped us grow, scale, and succeed in ways we couldn’t have done alone. If you’re a business owner looking for someone who is knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely invested in your success, we highly recommend working with him!

I don’t usually write reviews but every now and then i come across an extremely good service that deserves a mention. Professional, proactive and knowledgeable. Mohit and team went the extra mile and provided more than just the run of the mill services that a lot of accountants provide. I did my due diligence on 2 other accountants at the time and i’m pleased to say that Cloud not only impressed during the initial stages but also on delivery. The other accountants were just an “admin” service. Without sounding arrogant i have enough skills with a calculator and experience of completing online forms to do without them. Mohit and team provide a proper “value added” service with advice to boot.

Jessica has made a huge difference to our startup. We started working with Burkland after a firm which communication was bad, responses shady and chasing them was the norm. With Jessica the experience is the complete opposite - she behaves as part of the team, drives initiatives, ensures our startup's financial and tax compliance along with her team and is extremely efficient in communication. What a great choice we've made!

Alexis Garbarino's Review Sourced from Google
I hired Burkland Associates to help our family-owned business transition from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. We have been in business since 1973, and while I understand that Burkland focuses on startups, we had been informed their team could help us with the significant accounting overhaul we needed as an established business. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected.
From the very start, working with Emily Felceti was frustrating and unprofessional. Despite making it clear that our books were outdated and our accounting needs were complex, Emily’s attitude was dismissive, and she provided no meaningful support. When my mother joined the conversation, Emily became increasingly rude. There was only one virtual meeting between the three of us during which Emily appeared overwhelmed with the task of training small business owners, and she never provided the training we needed. Afterward, Emily canceled every meeting we tried to schedule and failed to follow through on any commitments.
Due to Emily's lack of responsiveness, I eventually reached out to Karina Kongo, who had helped us during the initial stages of the transition. Karina was helpful, but by this point, we had already been left without the support we desperately needed.
Burkland unexpectedly dropped us as clients in the middle of our work without completing the transition, leaving us in a difficult position. We did not pay the final invoice because the work was left unfinished, and we were left to manage the transition ourselves. Burkland then turned the unpaid invoice over to collections, and the correspondence included an internal email from Emily, in which she inaccurately and unprofessionally described us as “very rude and difficult to train.” In reality, there was only one meeting, and during that time, Emily was neither helpful nor responsive to our needs.
While I believe that Burkland Associates may have strong team members suited to startup-focused projects, our experience was a significant disappointment. Emily's lack of professionalism, poor communication, and mishandling of the transition was a major setback for our business. As a small family-owned business, this left us in a very challenging situation. We were wildly frustrated and disappointed with how this relationship was handled, and I would not recommend Burkland Associates to established businesses seeking reliable support.

An accounting firm for startups is a company that helps new businesses handle their financial tasks, such as bookkeeping, cash flow management, taxation, etc. By hiring an accounting company, startups can ensure that all financial transactions are made and booked in compliance with the laws and regulations. This helps keep track of the company's finances and avoid risking any irregularities that can result in high money penalties or startup shutdowns.
One example of a successful project is the collaboration between a health and wellness startup and Mercurius Advisory Services accounting firm. The client had an issue with inaccurately maintained books and lacked staff with adequate accounting knowledge to handle the problem. Mercurius Advisory Services provided proper categorization of credit card transactions and bank statements and matched all accounts receivables with Zoho Inventory, Amazon, Shopify, and Stripe accounts. Thanks to this, the startup was relieved of all accounting concerns and free to focus on core areas of its business.
What services do accounting firms provide for startups?
Accounting firms provide everything from basic bookkeeping to financial advising for their startup clients.
Their responsibilities are typically:
Bookkeeping services: Keeping a record of all financial transactions and organizing them
Tax compliance: Maximizing tax benefits, decreasing tax liability, and providing another kind of tax guidance
Financial management: Cash flow management, budgeting, and similar services
Financial modeling: Creating a model to attract potential investors
Financial reporting: Creating comprehensive reports for startup stakeholders and investors
Business planning: Strategic organization of financial goals
Risk management: Mitigating financial risks to safeguard against potential issues
Advisory services: Help with financial business decisions such as investments or succession planning
An example of a successful collaboration that included accounting services delivery is the one between Mercurius Advisory Services and a USA-based landscaping business. The landscaping firm had trouble recording invoices and payments with the QuickBooks Desktop software. Therefore, the startup accounting company provided the following services:
Reconciling merchant account deposits with bank deposits
Creating invoices and recording payments
Categorizing and reconciling accounts
Un-deposited fund balance rectification
Financial reporting
The client was happy with the services received that it decided to continue working with Mercurius Advisory Services and even hired the firm to help migrate accounts to another bookkeeping software.
What is the difference between startup accounting services and bookkeeping?
The difference between startup accounting services and bookkeeping is in the scope of work delivered to the client. Bookkeeping is just one part of accounting services that entails tracking and organizing a startup's financial transactions. In contrast, startup accounting services usually include bookkeeping and other supporting tasks that can range from tax compliance to financial advising.
For instance, common startup bookkeeping services include:
Keeping records of customers' payments and invoices
Maintaining accounts receivable
Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
Payroll management
Accounting services for startups typically include:
Bookkeeping
Taxing
Financial management and reporting
Risk management
Financial advising
How much do startup accounting services cost?
Startup accounting services costs start from around $600 per month for basic bookkeeping. Several factors affect the price of accounting services for startups:
The volume of transactions: Accounting price goes up for a large number of monthly transactions
The complexity of transactions: Some transactions, like prepaid Facebook advertising, require monthly updates and take more time
The client doing some bookkeeping: Some startups take on basic payment tasks, which can lower the accounting price
Using accounting software: Investing in an accounting software tool will save money and costs
The top 50 startup accounting agencies on DesignRush charge an average of $98/hour. Roughly 32% of the startup accounting companies on DesignRush accept projects with a minimum budget of less than $1,000, while 4% require a $50,000+ minimum budget.
Why should I hire a startup accounting service?
You should hire a startup accounting service to keep track of your finances, eliminate bookkeeping errors, and ensure compliance with financial laws and regulations. Hiring a startup accounting service can provide specialized expertise, cost savings, scalability, and strategic insights, all of which are essential for the growth and success of a new business.
Some of the benefits of hiring a startup accounting firm include:
Avoid common startup pitfalls: According to a survey, running out of money or failing to raise capital is the number one reason startups fail. An accounting firm can help minimize these risks.
Reduce the risk of errors: An accounting professional has the necessary expertise to ensure all tasks are done according to financial laws.
Provide financial advice: When considering important business decisions around investments, startup founders can consult an accounting company and get guidance.
Cost optimization: If your startup has good revenue but a stagnant profit, an accounting firm can find the source of problems like unnecessary expenses or overpriced investments.
Time saving: Startups have few employees and can benefit from delegating all financial tasks to an accounting company so they can focus on other responsibilities.
An example of a successful collaboration is a healthcare billing startup that hired an accounting firm called Invensis to help overcome billing and payment process challenges in receiving payments from patients. Invensis identified an outdated approach to invoicing as one of the problems and established different payment options. As a result, the client saw an improvement of almost 80% in recovering outstanding payments and a nearly 90% reduction in bad debt.
How do I choose the best accounting firm for my startup business?
Choosing the best accounting firm for your startup involves several key considerations. You want to ensure that the firm meets your specific needs and can support your business effectively as it grows. To choose the right accounting firm for your startup business, consider the company’s experience in your industry, its portfolio of services, pricing plans, and client reviews.
Based on your company's needs, you should focus on these steps:
Identify your goals: Define which financial processes you want to take care of internally and which you want to outsource. Make a list of all the areas where you need expert help.
Find the right expertise: Look for a startup accounting company with experience in the services you need. Browse through DesignRush’s Agency Directory to find ideal candidates for the job. Some companies provide only bookkeeping and taxing services while others offer financial advising for startups.
Set a budget: Determine the monthly amount you can invest in accounting.
Evaluate their pricing structure: Understand the firm’s pricing model. Some agencies charge hourly rates, while others offer fixed-fee packages. Make sure the pricing is transparent and aligns with your budget. Ask about any additional fees that might arise.
Review agency experience: Ask for a portfolio of relevant work, case studies, reviews, and clients you can contact for feedback. Ideally, the agency should have tangible results with companies from your industry.
Evaluate communication and responsiveness: Good communication is vital. Confirm the firm is responsive, easy to communicate with, and willing to explain complex financial concepts in understandable terms. Quick and clear communication can save time and prevent misunderstandings.
Ask about the processes: Find out how the accounting firm handles all finances, what inputs and documents it needs from you, etc.
Inquire about analytics and reporting: Ask the agency how it tracks finances and if it uses any kind of accounting software for reporting.
Interview: Set up interviews with prospective startup accounting companies to discuss the project in detail and determine if they fit your team well.
Make a decision: After reviewing the RFPs, choose the best-suited agency and establish all project development processes.
