ABOUT SHAZIA R.
Most early-stage founders think bookkeeping = financials.But messy books, vague revenue, or missed accruals can delay a raise or kill it.I help founders clean up their accounting, set up scalable systems, and prepare investor-grade financials that hold up to due diligence.With 10+ years in accounting, I’ve worked across fintech, SaaS, and crypto, specializing in early-stage and VC-backed companies. My focus is on designing general ledger architecture, streamlining revenue recognition workflows, and preparing financials that stand up to investor and audit scrutiny.Whether it\'s implementing tech-forward tools, cleaning up historicals, or leading strategic conversations with founders, I bring precision, clarity, and confidence to every engagement.If you\'re a founder building something in SaaS, fintech, or Web3 and want financial clarity that scales DM me. Let\'s get your numbers right from the start.
