Sound Familiar?

The back-office problems
that never make it onto the roadmap.

The Founder

12-person SaaS startup, Series A

"You reconciled QuickBooks at 11pm on Sunday — again."

Three months of transactions, two contractor 1099s that may or may not be correct, and a bank statement that doesn't match anything. Your accountant bills hourly and doesn't answer Slack.

~14 hours/month of founder time
The Office Manager

34-person professional services firm

"Vendor invoices live in three places. None of them agree."

Inbox, a shared Google Drive folder from 2021, and a spreadsheet that the last ops person built. You've been double-paying Comcast for 8 months. The CEO just found out.

$1,200 in duplicate payments discovered last quarter
The CFO

51-person distribution company

"You need a controller. You can't justify the $120k salary."

Month-end close takes 12 days. The board wants financials by day 5. You're manually exporting from three systems and praying the VLOOKUP holds together. There's a better way.

7-day reporting delay every single month

These aren't edge cases. They're the default state of every growing company before they bring in a dedicated ops team. Backlog is that team.

Transparent Process

Exactly what happens,
in what order, by when.

This is the scope-of-work appendix you always wished vendors would just show you upfront. Every deliverable named. Every turnaround time stated.
