What Our Clients Have to Say

We retained Resolve works for our venture sponsored start-up company. Resolve Works has done an outstanding job supporting our financial reporting needs including detailed budgeting, balance sheet and P&L – always accessible and delivering for our rapidly expanding company. They are bright, articulate and highly seasoned professionals. I give an unqualified recommendation on their services.

J. Adler, Startup Healthcare Executive

We started our business from scratch and needed a capable and experienced accounting team to help us with pretty much everything – setting up our accounting policies, processes and systems, and managing a wide range of business needs – day to day accounting, monthly reporting, expense reporting / management, payroll / 401k, etc. The Resolve Works team was great – knowledgeable, experienced and responsive – both with day to day tasks and providing a strategic resource for us to get things up and running smoothly. We have grown substantially (over 20 employees) and ResolveWorks has been instrumental in supporting our growth, allowing us to focus our main efforts on running / growing our business and serving our clients. We could not have done it without them.

Our Accounting and Bookkeeping Service for Startups Includes:

Transactional Record Keeping

Accurate transactions are the bedrock of clean accounting records. Our team tracks your daily business activities including expenses, revenue, fixed asset purchasing, loans, and investments, ensuring they are accurately captured in your accounting records.

Bank Feeds

While automated technology is great for syncing bank activity, it doesn’t replace the need to confirm transactions are coded correctly or review for duplicate, missing, and uncleared transactions. Reviewing transactions as they are downloaded makes monthly bank reconciliations a snap and sets you up for success in all other areas of financial reporting and management.

Account Reconciliations

Performing monthly account reconciliations is foundational to keeping your books clean and accurate. We reconcile your bank, credit card, and loan accounts monthly to identify errors, correct misstatements, and ensure transactional accuracy.

Month-End & Year-End Close

Closing your books on a monthly and annual basis is a key discipline in maintaining a clean set of books. We develop a customized checklist for your business to ensure all transactions are posted, revenue and expenses are captured in the correct time period, accrual and deferral schedules are maintained, and errors and misstatements are eliminated. Your books are kept up-to-date and ready to be shared with internal and external stakeholders, and primed for tax-prep at year end.

Financial Statements

Your Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet tell the financial story of your business. They are the lifeblood of a growing organization, providing a clear view of your company’s financial performance giving you the power to make smart decisions and plan for strategic growth. They are the key to understanding your business, attracting investors, and showcasing your potential.

Why Accounting and Bookkeeping Matter for Startups

Startups move fast—and so should your finances. Without a solid financial foundation, it’s easy to make short-term decisions that stall long-term growth. A dedicated accounting and bookkeeping service for startups can give you the clarity, consistency, and confidence you need to grow responsibly.

At Resolve Works, we help founders:

Understand cash flow and runway
Get investor-ready with clean books and reliable data
Avoid common tax and compliance mistakes
Build scalable financial systems from day one

Whether you’re pre-revenue or navigating growth, having accurate, up-to-date financials gives you a strategic edge. You don’t have to go it alone—we’re here to help you move forward with clarity.

Back Office Processing to Strengthen Your Business

Resolve Works steps in as a functional member of your finance team, setting up the processes and systems for your payroll operations, vendor management, accounts payable processing, sales tax filings, and state and local compliance matters. We manage the daily operations of your accounting department so you can focus your energy on strategic activities that drive your business forward.

Back Office Processing

Payroll Processing

Ensuring your employees are paid on time and accurately builds trust and fosters commitment among your team. We work with the latest payroll solution providers to manage your payroll data, process your regular payroll, and oversee your payroll tax compliance. Our team also handles complex compensation arrangements, unique commission agreements, and employee bonus structures, tracking business activities and calculating additional compensation based on the employee’s achievement of your defined milestones.

Accounts Payable

Vendor and accounts payable management can be a huge stress for entrepreneurs who don’t like the nuance of day-to-day financial operations. Our team will serve as the point person for your vendor relationships, gathering W9 data, setting them up in the payables system, entering bills and processing them for payment. We use the latest accounts payable technology to fully digitize your accounts payable process and build robust approval workflows, while eliminating the need for you to write paper checks.

Sales Tax

The sales tax landscape is complex and continually changing, creating a huge risk exposure for organizations that don’t have the tools to manage it. Our team supports your organization in identifying when and where you have sales tax nexus, setting up systems to collect the proper sales tax based on the item and jurisdiction, and managing sales tax remittance to the proper local and state authorities.

FAQs About Accounting and Bookkeeping Services

At what stage should I bring in an accountant?

The sooner, the better. We often begin working with founders before they officially launch—setting up systems, creating a chart of accounts, and preparing for revenue. But if you’re already in motion, it’s never too late. Whether you’re pre-revenue or managing growing complexity, our team can jump in to support your goals and clean up any financial clutter along the way.

Can Resolve Works grow with me as my needs change?

Absolutely. At Resolve Works, we specialize in accounting and bookkeeping service for startups—and that means we’re built to grow with you. Whether you’re just getting organized or preparing for your next stage of funding, our flexible service plans adapt to your evolving needs. As your business scales, we can expand our support to include more complex reporting, financial analysis, and strategic guidance.

Explore our plans and pricing to see how we meet you where you are—and grow with you from there.

How often will I need to meet with my accountant?

We tailor our communication to your preferences and plan. Some clients like monthly check-ins, while others prefer quarterly reviews or on-demand guidance as questions arise. You’ll always have access to a dedicated team who’s responsive, proactive, and focused on your success.

What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

Think of bookkeeping as the foundation—recording daily transactions, categorizing expenses, and reconciling accounts. Accounting builds on that foundation, offering financial insights, tax strategy, and guidance to help you make better decisions. At Resolve Works, we combine both services to give startups a streamlined, end-to-end finance solution.
