Accounting Services for SaaS Startups
From subscription metrics and burn rate to forecasting and board reporting, we help SaaS founders gain clarity and stay fundable.
SaaS companies move fast. You’re building product, managing churn, scaling users, and prepping for your next round. But if your books are messy, your burn rate unclear, or your metrics unreliable, it can undermine everything.
At Vistance Accounting, we help SaaS startups organize their numbers so they can raise capital, extend runway, and report with confidence. We specialize in working with early-stage to post-Series A software businesses who need more than generic bookkeeping. We also track R&D expenditures, properly capitalize them on the balance sheet, and ensure you’re positioned to claim grants and subsidies like SR&ED.
“We have growth, but I don’t trust the numbers.”
You’ve got revenue coming in and users signing up. But when your investor asks for CAC, burn, or churn, you’re scrambling to pull numbers from disconnected tools.
We build integrated financial systems that track the right metrics in the right way, and ensure your accounting reflects your actual business model — not just the tax return. Our team ensures all R&D activity is captured, capitalized, and audit-ready for claims like SR&ED.
What SAAS Companies Need Our Accounting Services?
We work with SaaS companies from early-stage startups to scaling post-Series A firms. Most are generating between $500K and $10M in ARR and need more control over cash, reporting, and investor communication.
If your books are messy, your metrics are unclear, or your last update to investors felt rushed and cobbled together, we can help.
