Who it's for

Built for high-transaction businesses.

Companies doing $750K to $5M a year with multi-channel payouts, heavy vendor volume and no appetite for a surprise tax bill.

The bottlenecks we take over

  • Receipts and contractor bills lost in inboxes
  • Books that lag 3 weeks behind
  • Surprise tax liabilities at year-end
  • 01

    E-commerce brands

    Shopify, Stripe and marketplace payouts that never quite match the bank.

  • 02

    Marketing & creative agencies

    Retainers, contractor bills and client pass-throughs buried in email.

  • 03

    B2B SaaS

    Subscription revenue, deferred billing and investor-grade reporting.

  • 04

    Wholesale & distributors

    High invoice volume, inventory and multi-currency suppliers.

Frequently asked

Plain answers.

Who actually signs off on my books?

A licensed US Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The AI engine categorizes, reconciles and drafts; a licensed CPA reviews, certifies and signs every statement, reconciliation and corporate tax filing.

How fast is the month-end close?

Within 3 to 5 business days of month-end on every tier. Core Compliance guarantees five business days.

Which tools and gateways do you work with?

QuickBooks Online and Xero for the ledger; Stripe, Shopify Payments, PayPal, Payoneer, Amazon Pay, Square, merchant accounts and your bank and card feeds for reconciliation.

How does multi-gateway reconciliation work for Stripe and Shopify?

Processors deposit payouts net of fees, refunds, chargebacks and FX adjustments. Our clearing engine matches every batch payout against order-level gateway transactions so gross revenue, processing fees and clearing accounts reconcile to the penny.

What access do you need?

Accountant-level access to QuickBooks or Xero and view-only bank connections. We never move money and never hold your banking credentials.

Can you catch up months of backlog?

Yes. Catch-up is scoped as a one-time flat-fee project before your monthly tier starts, so you begin with clean, reconciled books.

How is Flex Finance different from a traditional CPA firm or software-only tools?

Traditional CPA firms bill by the hour and take 3 to 4 weeks to close each month. Pure software leaves compliance to you. Flex Finance combines an autonomous AI pipeline (automating up to 90% of repeatable categorization) with a licensed CPA who signs off every month.

What happens during the free 20-minute Tax & Cash Flow Audit?

A licensed CPA reviews your current ledger and gateway setup to flag misclassified deductions, multi-gateway clearing discrepancies and margin leaks. You receive a 3-point diagnostic summary whether or not you sign up.

Is there a contract?

Month to month. Flat fee per tier, no hourly billing, cancel with 30 days' notice.
