Walhalla's startup scene — remote-first founders building from the Blue Ridge foothills with Clemson's talent pipeline nearby — needs bookkeeping that speaks investor. Tides builds investor-ready books with MRR tracking, ASC 606 revenue recognition, cap table support, and monthly runway so founders can fundraise and ship.
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.”
Walhalla's startup community is part of the Upstate's growing innovation engine, and clean, investor-ready books are what keep founders in the room with capital. Here's how Tides fits the tech companies driving the Oconee County economy.
The Upstate tech scene draws founders from across South Carolina — and Walhalla is increasingly part of that story. Co-working spaces, university partnerships, and the region's lower cost of living compared to major coastal metros create an environment where startups can build product, hire early team members, and extend their runway. We set up the books so that from day one, your financials are structured for investor review — not just tax filing.
Many Upstate startups look more like hardware-plus-software plays than pure SaaS — connected devices, IoT, advanced manufacturing software, and industrial tech feeding regional supply chains. That makes revenue recognition, COGS treatment, and cap table accounting messier than a generalist bookkeeper can handle. We track subscription revenue under ASC 606, separate hardware COGS from software margin, and keep your cap table clean with founder equity, SAFE notes, and stock comp all accounted for.
Investor-ready books mean something specific. ASC 606 revenue recognition on subscription and contract revenue. Monthly MRR and ARR with new, churned, and expansion broken out. A clean cap table with founder equity, SAFE notes, and stock comp tracked. A real monthly close by the 15th. Live runway and burn calculated off actuals, not a back-of-napkin spreadsheet. That's what Tides delivers — and it's why Walhalla founders fundraise faster. See our full Walhalla bookkeeping services page for the local picture.
