Hi, I'm Adam Ahern
As a 2x tech founder and a 6x startup finance leader, I've walked in your shoes and been the trusted guide to startup CEOs.
2 exits for $2.4 billion
Prepared two startups for IPO
Raised over $1 billion of capital
Despite this experience, I still didn't have startup accounting and finance figured out.
Why? That sounds like a career worth of experience.
Because the successful outcomes relied on unsustainable efforts (ie burnout) and scattered knowledge that didn't apply to the next startup.
Fast forward...
After founding StartupEdge, to provide fractional CFO and Finance-as-a-Service, I faced a new challenge.
How to deliver the same impact to many startups, across a variety of tech and tech-enabled industries, in a scalable way.
I solved this challenge by creating solutions for startups at all stages of The Startup Journey, so you can leverage all my lessons learned and avoid my mistakes.
The solutions you're about to see give you everything you NEED to know for your startup. And, more importantly, the tools you need to generate amazing financial outcomes with minimal effort.
The trap of doing (or spending) too much and knowing too little
It's common for founders to struggle overseeing finance. Either they manage external resources that are generalists and don't understand their business. Or they wing it themselves.
All while trying to make critical decisions and impress investors.
Confusing Financials
Poor accounting practices often lead to confusing financial reports.
Poor Visibility
Founders often lack insights into the cash flow, forecast and KPIs needed to run their startup.
No Systems
The lack of systems often creates fire drills. What should be "easy work" becomes a distraction.
Limited Knowledge
Founders who lack financial knowledge struggle to navigate investor meetings and build a credible strategy.
