Solve For (X) helps startups and small businesses navigate the financial and operational complexities of scaling, whether raising capital or professionalizing their back-office. We work with early-stage startups preparing for a raise and post-funded businesses looking to establish financial clarity, operational discipline, and strategic direction. 📌 Before a funding round: We help founders refine financial models, pitch decks, and narratives to raise with confidence and secure more capital. We also set up data rooms, negotiate terms, and provide coaching to bridge the knowledge gap between founders and investors. 📌 After a funding round: We stand up the back-office, covering accounting, finance, tax, audit, compliance, risk, and legal. Beyond that, we help companies make sense of their numbers, track key metrics, and build scalable processes that drive long-term growth. 📌 In between rounds: Solve For (X) helps founders determine the kind of financial leadership they need, when to bring it in, and how to assess the right fit so they make the most informed decisions and scale successfully. Since 2018, we've helped 255 startups raise $1.3B across 55 industries in 15 countries, earning 5-star reviews on Clutch, The Manifest, Upwork, and Google. If this resonates, let's talk.
