Why founders switch to us

Most accountants tell you what already happened. We help you decide what's next.

Clean books and on-time filings are the floor, not the goal. You also get forward-looking cash planning, proactive tax strategy, and a partner who already speaks fluent SaaS and biotech.

A typical firm

  • Reports last quarter, after the decisions are made
  • A generalist learning your industry on your dime
  • Shows up at tax time, then goes quiet
  • Hands you a list of suggestions to implement yourself

SL Accounting

  • Forward-looking cash and runway planning
  • A specialist fluent in your sector from day one
  • Year-round tax strategy, not a yearly scramble
  • We do the work and own the outcome

What we do

Four things we do exceptionally well.

No generalist overlap. Every engagement is built around the financial infrastructure a scaling tech, biotech, or manufacturing company actually needs.

01

Fractional CFO & Board Reporting

Investor-ready financials, cash-flow forecasting, and board packages. You and your investors get a clear, current view of runway and performance.

02

Bookkeeping & Revenue Recognition

Clean, accrual-based books that hold up to due diligence — including ASC 606 revenue recognition for subscription and milestone billing.

Accrual books ASC 606 QuickBooks
03

Proactive Tax Strategy & R&D Credits

Year-round planning instead of a once-a-year scramble. We capture R&D credits worth up to $500K in payroll tax offsets and structure for QSBS.

04

Corporate Tax Preparation

Accurate C-corp, S-corp, and multi-state filings backed by solid documentation — so compliance is never a liability when it counts.

Why us

Three things that make us different.

We run the project, not just the advice

As a CPA and certified PMP, Lee project-manages the cleanup and build — QuickBooks, Dext, Fathom — so your systems survive real due diligence.

We already know your industry

Subscription metrics, R&D amortization, clinical-trial budgeting, milestone billing — there's no learning curve billed to you.

Start small, no long contract

Begin with a standalone Financial Health & Venture-Readiness Assessment before any retainer. Low risk, real value up front.

In their words

"Lee guided us through a review of our governance documents, balance sheets and bank statements using a secure portal that made it stress-free. Afterward, he provided a clear executive summary of actionable steps and graciously offered his continued support. He even identified cost-saving opportunities to help us move away from manual data entry. We're so grateful for his professionalism and heart for the community."
