Enabling Startup and Early Stage Organizations to Focus on their Core Business Strategy

Leaders in startup and early stage businesses juggle many activities and must constantly balance priorities. There’s little room for error as both strategic and tactical work must be done and done right. These organizations are often challenged by:

Available Time

Functional Expertise

Task Prioritization

Too often founders get trapped in firefighting mode. Strategic issues vie with the mundane for their limited time. Founders know they should spend their time on the strategic, but also know the mundane need to be addressed. That’s where Edward Thomas Associates comes in.

The complexities of building an accounting team (finding, hiring and managing the staff – i.e. accountants and bookkeepers.) The process is expensive and time consuming so why not outsource the complexities to our expert team.

Accounting Department Support Services

A full-time CFO or controller is not necessary for many companies. Especially young companies. But the strategic expertise of a CFO, or the operational expertise of a controller, are. Imagine the ability to have those resources available when you need them without the cost of them when you don’t.

Most people are familiar with the outside bookkeeper and accountant. Our accountants are part of a team of experienced, qualified people with the advantage of their being supervised by a controller and supported by high quality processes.

Closing the books takes focus, focus that is hard to give if you to do it yourself. A dedicated team with the right tools will deliver a better result, in a timely fashion that is properly supported with things that excite accountants like reconciliations and schedules.

With the books closed it is time to move onto the next thing. If you do this yourself, this could be any number of things tied to growing the business. With a dedicated team, this will be the financial statement and management reports you need to understand what is happening in the numbers related to your business.
