  • Deciding on accounting services for your startup hinges on a few key aspects. If you're adept at using financial tools like QBO or Xero, have an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) under $250k, and are yet to secure funding, initially handling accounting in-house could be a viable option. This decision should be revisited as these factors evolve.

  • The right time to form an internal finance team varies with each business's size and complexity. Tech companies, for example, might start evaluating the need for an internal controller when they reach $20 million in ARR or 50 full-time employees. Remember, even with an internal team, leveraging fractional specialists can be cost-effective. Differentiating between a controller and a CFO is crucial, and larger or more complex organizations like those in tech or manufacturing may require a comprehensive in-house accounting team at earlier stages of growth.
