Technology firms have a particularly challenging set of financial management needs. Beginning with funding and forecasting, carrying through to cash burn monitoring and networking, each component of your accounting system builds and relies on the successful completion of the last.

While the technical aspects of accounting software and systems may be within your reach, the financial expertise associated with raising capital, developing a workable strategy and minimizing risk requires specific financial expertise.
