Bookkeeping for US startups
Investor-ready books from early stage onward, with a monthly close that keeps up as you grow.
Get your numbers right before anyone asks for them
Founders rarely have time for bookkeeping, and early mistakes compound. Mixed personal and business spending, unreconciled accounts and missing revenue records all surface at the worst moment: during fundraising, due diligence or tax season.
CoastBridge sets up a monthly bookkeeping and close process from the start. Every month your accounts are reconciled, expenses are categorized consistently, and you receive a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement you can share with your board or investors.
As you grow, we add what you need next, such as accrual accounting, deferred revenue schedules, or a rolling cash flow forecast so you always know your runway.

Questions about startups
When should a startup outsource bookkeeping?
As early as possible. Setting up clean books from the beginning costs far less than cleaning them up later, especially before a fundraise.
Do you file our taxes?
No. CoastBridge is not a CPA firm. We prepare clean, reconciled books and supporting schedules, and work alongside your CPA, who files your returns.
Can you work with our existing tools?
Yes. We work in QuickBooks Online or Xero and connect with tools like Stripe, Ramp, Bill.com, Gusto and Rippling.
How is pricing set?
We quote a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume, number of accounts and the reports you need.
