From Big-CPA to Startup Ally
Why we built The SaaS Bookkeeper
For nearly two decades, our founder Rusty Hale built his career as a CPA, auditing fast-growing technology companies at pivotal moments like major fundraises, acquisitions, and exits.
Again and again, he saw the same thing: brilliant founders with groundbreaking ideas, but books that weren’t ready for investors.
The result? Delayed deals, reduced valuations, or costly fixes that ate into founders’ time and money.
He realized that if early-stage SaaS companies had specialized bookkeeping and tax support from the start, they could make smarter decisions, scale faster, and raise capital with confidence.
So, to the surprise of his peers, he left a prestigious CPA partnership and launched The SaaS Bookkeeper with a bold vision: to deliver high-quality, SaaS-specific accounting at a startup-friendly price.
