Fondo

Accounting and tax platform for startups

Fondo looks after the books of more than 1,000 high-growth startups through a single accounting platform covering bookkeeping, tax filing and tax credits. Software automates much of the routine work and a staff of accountants who focus on early-stage companies handles the rest, so founders stay compliant and stretch their runway further. The tax credit work pays back noticeably: the average customer receives $21k from the IRS each year, and the largest refunds reach $500k. Fondo's headquarters are in San Francisco, it has an office in Austin, and most of the team works remotely from around the world.
