Built for the way startups actually work.
From your first funding round through Series A and beyond — Prescient gives venture-backed companies the financial infrastructure they need to grow with confidence.

We have seen what works. And what doesn't.
Our team has worked with thousands of venture-backed companies across every stage of growth. That depth of experience means we don't just know how to do the accounting — we know what the right financial infrastructure looks like for a company at your stage, what your investors will expect to see, and how to build a foundation that holds up as you scale.
How the Prescient model works.

Investor-Ready Reporting
Not just books. A financial operation.
Early-stage founders don't need a bookkeeper. They need a financial partner who can handle the day-to-day with precision, give them real visibility into their numbers, and help them stay ahead of what's coming — without requiring them to become a finance expert themselves.
That's what Prescient delivers. A complete financial operation that handles everything from accounts payable to board-ready reporting — so you can focus on building the company.
AI-augmented workflows mean faster closes, fewer errors, and pricing that gets more competitive as the technology improves — not less.
"I don't know if my books are right."
Your dedicated Controller owns the accuracy of your financials. Month-end close is handled on time, every month, with a financial statement package that gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
"I never know how much runway I actually have."
Burn rate and runway reporting are built into your engagement from day one. You'll always know your cash position, your monthly burn, and how many months of runway you have — in real numbers, not estimates.
"I'm not ready for my next investor conversation."
We prepare investor-ready financial reporting as a standard part of your engagement. When a conversation comes up, your numbers are already in the right format.
"I don't have time to manage vendors, payroll, and bills."
We handle your full AP function, payroll oversight, and vendor management — so these don't land on your plate.

Client Meeting
A team that knows your business. Not just your account number.
Every Prescient client gets a dedicated Controller and staff accountant who are assigned to your company and stay with your company. They learn your business, your revenue model, your investors, and your goals — and they bring that context to every piece of work they do for you.
You'll meet with your Controller every month in a structured working session. You'll have direct access to your team between calls. And when something comes up — a board meeting, a new investor, an unexpected question — you'll have people who already know your situation and can respond immediately.
No handoffs. No ramp-up time. No explaining your business from scratch every time you have a question.
Where you are today. And where you're going.

Pre-seed and seed
Set your financial foundation right from the start. Accrual accounting, clean books, proper AP and payroll management, and monthly financials that give you and your investors a clear picture.
Seed to Series A
As revenue grows and complexity increases, your Prescient engagement scales with you — adding revenue recognition, department tracking, burn rate reporting, and the investor-ready financial infrastructure your next raise will require.
Series A and beyond
Multi-entity consolidation, complex revenue models, heavy AP/AR management, and audit preparation — all handled by a team that has navigated this stage before and knows exactly what's required.
Let's talk about your company.
A 30-minute conversation is all it takes to understand where you are, what you need, and whether Prescient is the right fit for you.
