Do pre-seed startups need a CPA?
If you’ve raised money, granted options, or plan to raise soon, you need a startup-savvy accountant. Pre-seed teams with clean books are far more fundable.
Why does 409A valuation matter?
A 409A valuation determines your startup’s common stock price for option grants. It’s required by the IRS and critical for issuing equity without tax risk.
Can a fractional CFO help with fundraising?
Yes—many startup accountants offer fractional CFO services, helping with financial modeling, board reporting, investor decks, and capital strategy.
Why VC-Backed Startups Need Specialized Accountants
Startup accounting isn’t just about books and taxes—it’s about building investor trust and extending runway. A startup accountant should help with:
409A Valuations: For option grants and equity compliance
Burn Rate + Runway Management: Forecasting and planning for future raises
Cap Table + Equity Tracking: Managing SAFEs, notes, and stock option plans
ASC 606 Compliance: Especially critical for SaaS revenue recognition
R&D Tax Credits: Reducing payroll tax liability and maximizing cash flow
Due Diligence Prep: Clean financials, audit-ready reporting, and fundraising support
The right accountant won’t just file your taxes—they’ll help you raise, scale, and exit smarter.
