Their experienced CFOs partner with founders to navigate critical business decisions across all stages of growth—from seed funding through scale and exit.

From initial setup through scale, their accounting team handles day-to-day operations while ensuring financial data is accurate, timely, and decision-ready. Accounting services include financial statement preparation, general ledger accounting, accounts payable and vendor payment processing, billing and accounts receivable management, revenue recognition (including complex ASC 606 compliance for software and bundled offerings), accounting systems implementation and optimization, international accounting, GAAP compliance, tax compliance coordination, bank and audit relationship management, and technical accounting guidance.
Target Clients
This service is designed for startups at product-market fit stage and beyond who need CFO-level guidance but aren't ready to hire a full-time finance executive. Clients typically range from Series A through growth stage companies looking to scale operations, raise capital, or prepare for M&A transactions. Services support startups from launch stage through IPO, with particular strength serving SaaS companies, fintech firms, e-commerce businesses, and blockchain/Web3 companies that require specialized financial knowledge.
Implementation Approach
Attivo begins engagements by implementing the appropriate accounting tech stack and establishing policies and procedures that create a scalable foundation. They work with modern platforms including QuickBooks, NetSuite, Stripe, Ramp, and other fintech tools to automate workflows and ensure data integrity.
Quality and Oversight
Attivo's team includes CPAs and experienced professionals who understand the unique requirements of venture-backed companies. They provide monthly financial statements, maintain clean books ready for investor due diligence, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The team collaborates closely with external auditors to facilitate smooth annual audits.
Differentiators for Web3
Attivo's fractional CFOs don't just provide reports—they become true strategic partners who embed with client teams for the long term. They leverage proprietary industry benchmarks and financial data to provide context-rich insights that help founders make distinctive, lasting improvements in business performance. For Web3 and blockchain companies, Attivo CFOs understand the unique challenges of crypto accounting, token economics, blockchain transaction reconciliation, and navigating the regulatory landscape.
