Startup founder discovered that accounting was handled monthly but never independently audited, leading to misstated metrics, incorrect revenue recognition, and hidden payroll tax gaps that contributed to running out of runway.
Existing bookkeeping services handle monthly tasks but lack independent review of accounting treatment for startup-specific items (revenue recognition, R&D capitalization, deferred revenue). Founders assume correctness without periodic verification.
