We only work with startups. That changes everything.

Startup Partners isn’t your typical accounting or fractional CFO firm. We don’t try to fit startups into generic accounting systems or spread our focus across industries we don’t serve. Startups are all we do—and that clarity drives everything we build.

While other firms might handle your books or drop in with a basic model, we deliver something different: a set of proprietary, founder-focused solutions built exclusively for the startup journey. No distractions. No legacy baggage. Just practical, high-impact support for early-stage companies ready to grow.

We don’t just report on your past—we help you navigate what’s next..

Proprietary solutions built for startups

Our exclusive financial solutions set us apart and give startup founders tools that directly address their real-world challenges:

• Runway Navigator™: A dynamic modeling tool that gives founders real-time visibility into cash position, burn rate, and funding runway. Runway Navigator helps you optimize spending, extend your runway, and plan for the next raise with confidence.

• ICE Pack™: A diligence-ready toolkit of essential financial and operational documents—always updated and instantly deployable. ICE Pack ensures you’re prepared for investor requests, debt applications, or strategic opportunities without scrambling.

• Founders' Factbook™: A weekly publication written by the Startup Partners senior team, delivering timely, experience-based insights, strategies, and updates. Clients receive each new edition and full access to the archive—built to help founders make sharper, faster decisions.

• OperatIQ™: A strategic decision-support framework that helps founders choose when to act, pivot, or scale. OperatIQ combines internal metrics, financial data, and external market intelligence to guide critical decisions at the right time.

• CapitalReady™: A structured, founder-focused approach to preparing for capital raises—covering financial modeling, investor materials, and capital strategy. CapitalReady helps you build confidence and credibility through every stage of the fundraising process.

• Startup HealthCheck™: A rapid diagnostic review of your startup’s financial health, risk exposure, and operational readiness. Startup Health Check identifies gaps before they become problems and lays the groundwork for future growth and investor confidence.

These tools are built specifically for startups and the unique challenges they face. They aren’t some pared-down version of a firm’s other products or a repurposed tool from years ago.
