No setup fees · Cancel anytime · Dedicated bookkeeper
Whether you're pre-revenue or scaling fast — we build the financial infrastructure that serious tech companies need.
Subscription revenue, deferred income, churn, and MRR tracking require a bookkeeping structure that most generalists can't support. We build it right from the start.
Pre-revenue and early-revenue startups need clean books for fundraising, investor updates, and board reporting — even before you have meaningful revenue.
Consumer apps, B2B tools, and digital marketplaces with multiple revenue streams, platform fees, and variable developer costs.
Tech companies and startups face financial challenges that general bookkeepers routinely miss. Here's what we hear from nearly every new client.
Your investors want monthly updates with clean financials. Without organized books, producing those reports means scrambling — every single month.
Gross burn? Net burn? Including contractor costs? Most early-stage founders don't have a precise number — and that's dangerous when you're managing runway.
SaaS and subscription revenue doesn't always recognize the month you receive it. Without proper deferred revenue accounting, your P&L doesn't reflect the true state of your business.
Development contractors, hosting, software tools — these costs are real and potentially eligible for R&D tax credits. Disorganized books mean you miss the credit and can't defend it in an audit.
Every Tides plan includes all seven core services. Tech and startup clients get specific treatment for SaaS revenue recognition, burn rate tracking, and investor-ready financial reporting.
Every account reconciled, every transaction categorized, every month — without exception. You receive a clean P&L and balance sheet you can actually understand and use to make decisions.
Monthly reports that show your income, expenses, and profit — so you always know where you stand.
Every business account and credit card matched and verified each month. No mystery charges. No unresolved transactions. No surprises.
We track vendor bills and outstanding invoices so your cash flow stays healthy and nothing gets missed or paid twice.
Months or years behind? We clean it all up before we start your regular monthly service — no matter how far back the backlog goes.
If you have team members, we coordinate payroll processing and keep your tax filings clean and on schedule.
“Our investors actually commented on how clean our financials looked. Tides gave us credibility we didn't have before.”
The High Country tech community is growing, and Boone-based founders need bookkeeping that's built for startups. Here's how Tides supports tech companies across Watauga County.
Tech founders in Boone and across Watauga County are building SaaS platforms, apps, and digital services that need bookkeeping built for the startup lifecycle. Pre-revenue companies need clean burn-rate tracking and runway calculations. Post-revenue companies need MRR/ARR reconciliation, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and books that can withstand investor due diligence.
Investor-ready books mean something specific. ASC 606 revenue recognition requires SaaS companies to recognize subscription revenue over the service period, not when the invoice is paid — and most generic bookkeepers get this wrong. We handle deferred revenue, prepaid annual subscriptions, usage-based billing, and the month-end journal entries that keep your books GAAP-compliant. When a VC asks for your financials, the answer is a clean PDF, not a two-week scramble.
Whether you're pre-revenue in Boone or scaling across High Country, Tides builds the financial infrastructure that grows with you — from seed-stage burn tracking to Series A due diligence to post-revenue MRR reconciliation. Fully remote, flat rate, one dedicated bookkeeper who actually understands SaaS. Want the full local picture? See our Boone bookkeeping services page.
