However, with the rapid increase in Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms, more and more small business are choosing to outsource parts of their business and reap a variety of benefits.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ch3>1. \u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: normal;\">YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR SKILLS TO DEVELOP YOUR BUSINESS\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>You wouldn’t hire a tennis coach to teach you golf. By the same logic, unless you’re a trained accountant*, it doesn’t make sense for you to spend your effort trying to organize your business’ accounting and financial transactions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>When you outsource these tasks, you are free to focus on the things you are good at. By outsourcing or hiring contractors for the different elements of your business like website design, content creation, and yes, accounting, you are able to focus on growing your business.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>2. \u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: normal;\">YOUR BUSINESS WILL SAVE MONEY\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>A general accountant* with just one to three years of experience earns $60,000 per year on average. With a senior level general accountant*, that average goes up to $80,000 per year. White label accounting services are significantly cheaper with plans starting as low as $250 per month for small businesses.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And it’s just the savings on salary. Outsourcing your accounting needs saves on overhead costs associated with having employees including training, hardware, employee benefits and more. With junior accountants*, there’s also the financial risk if your accountant* makes a mistake.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>3. \u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: normal;\">YOU CAN REDUCE LOSS DUE TO FRAUD\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>Small businesses, specifically companies with fewer than 100 employees, are the most at risk for fraud.

There’s the benefit of a lower salary but with that comes less expertise.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>However, with a white label accounting service, you benefit from senior and junior team members working together on your accounts.

This transforms repetitive processes that used to take weeks into tasks completed in a fraction of the time.",{"url":8,"title":133,"alt":8,"description":134,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"What is the best infrastructure for scaling a fractional CFO business?","Successful scaling requires dividing strategy from daily operations.

As the company’s core offering takes shape, the strategy discussion shifts to the many functions needed to get the product into the market and to keep clients satisfied, like sales, marketing, and customer service.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>It’s rare for companies to develop a finance strategy at the onset. But that’s a big miss, because it takes significant financial resources to scale a business effectively. Without a well-developed finance strategy, the company runs the risk of being in reactive mode financially—always scrambling for the funds to invest in staff, equipment, or technology, or to expand into new geographic and vertical markets.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>It’s critical for the CFO to develop and execute on a sound finance strategy, perhaps now more than ever.

But while some early-stage companies are quick to invest in highly sophisticated financial technology, they don’t always maximize their use of the functionality, which greatly reduces return on investments (ROI).

Here’s how this step usually goes:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Setting Realistic Timelines\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The single most destructive action in deadline management is setting a one-sided, unrealistic deadline without client input. This only creates resentment and guarantees delays.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Suggested Action: \u003C\u002Fb>Schedule a dedicated meeting with key client stakeholders early in the process. Use this time to \u003Cb>negotiate and agree on an achievable timeline\u003C\u002Fb> for deliverables, fieldwork, and final sign-off. This collaborative approach manages expectations on both sides and sets a realistic, mutually accepted path forward. When the client agrees to the timeline, they inherently take ownership of meeting their own deliverables, dramatically improving their response time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Buffering for Client Delays\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Even the most collaborative client will face unexpected internal hiccups. If your internal deadline is the same as the final delivery date, you have no recourse when issues arise. You need built-in protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Suggested Action: \u003C\u002Fb>The usual buffer to set is an\u003Cb> internal deadline of two days before the official one.\u003C\u002Fb> This two-day margin serves as your firm’s safety net. Furthermore, when communicating with the client, give them a one or two-day window to provide the necessary information before your internal deadline. This proactive strategy ensures that if the client misses their internal date by a day or two, your firm’s final schedule remains protected, insulating your team from external chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Step 2: Focused Execution\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Once the timeline is set, execution must be focused on ensuring maximum audit efficiency and professional skepticism is applied where it matters most.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Ch3>Prioritizing High-Risk Audits\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The most efficient audit is not the one that finishes every section fastest but the one that allocates the most senior resources to the areas carrying the highest risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Suggested Action:\u003C\u002Fb> Accounts that carry the \u003Cb>highest risk of material misstatement\u003C\u002Fb> must be prioritized and tackled first in peak season. These are the areas that will receive the most extensive and\u002For detailed audit procedures and require the judgment of senior staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Common priority areas include: \u003Cb>revenue and related accounts\u003C\u002Fb> (such as Accounts Receivable and Cash),\u003Cb> Inventories, Complex accounts\u003C\u002Fb> (like derivatives or specialized equity), and accounts flagged during planning due to \u003Cb>weak internal controls\u003C\u002Fb>. By front-loading the heavy, high-risk lifting, you surface critical issues early when there is still time to resolve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Avoiding Bottlenecks\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Bottlenecks are inevitable, but their impact is manageable. Delays typically stem from a few common issues: a client’s slow response to requests, unexpected material events or errors, and the discovery of mistakes from previous audits. It’s common to encounter one, or even all, of these hurdles during an audit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Suggested Action:\u003C\u002Fb> When an audit encounters one or more of these hurdles, \u003Cb>do not proceed in silence\u003C\u002Fb>. The moment the delay is quantified, you must immediately \u003Cb>renegotiate a new, achievable timeline with the client.\u003C\u002Fb> Trying to push through an unexpected week-long delay on the original schedule will only lead to rushed, sub-par work. Anticipating and communicating delays early is the hallmark of professional project management.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Using Project Trackers\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>While sophisticated audit software exists, the core need remains visibility and accountability for both the firm and the client.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Suggested Action: \u003C\u002Fb>Maintain a simple, centralized project tracker. Often, keeping an \u003Cb>Excel file\u003C\u002Fb> is the most effective low-tech solution. This tracker should monitor the progress of each audit area and, crucially, track \u003Cb>what is still needed from the client\u003C\u002Fb> (the Pending Client List, or PBC). Clear, shared tracking ensures everyone knows the exact status of the engagement and holds the client accountable for their outstanding items.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Step 3: Expand Capacity Through Strategic Partnership\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Even with great planning and process discipline, there’s one reality every CPA firm faces: capacity. This capacity constraint creates the unavoidable bottlenecks that these strategies are designed to mitigate, especially given that the unemployment rate for auditors sits at 2.0%.

Start with a Strategic IPO Roadmap\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Most biotech firms begin preparing for an IPO 12 to 24 months prior to filing.

The current amount of cash in the bank did not reconcile with the books, and it hadn’t for a very long time. Because of the sheer volume of e-commerce transactions and the delay in clearing times across various payment portals, the team had lost visibility into which funds were deposited in transit and which were simply missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When I looked into the backlog, I discovered the disconnect stretched back three years. It was thousands of unreconciled transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This isn’t an uncommon story. When a business experiences rapid growth, especially in e-commerce, where money floats across multiple gateways before hitting the bank, the volume of transactions often increases faster than the internal structure can handle. The team was doing exactly what they were hired to do, and the work hadn’t changed; the volume had. And eventually, the capacity simply failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Stopping the Bleeding\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>When I realized the scope of the problem, our official engagement with the client was strictly limited. But as a former auditor, I couldn’t just look the other way. If your bank balance is far off from your book balance, every management report you produce is built on unstable ground. You can’t accurately forecast, you can’t confidently deploy capital, and if you try to reconcile the gap, you can’t simply guess which accounts need adjusting. You have to know the why behind every dollar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before we could fix the past, we had to protect the present.

We immediately implemented a strict, weekly reconciliation process for all current transactions. Moving forward, the books would be accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Step two: The forensic cleanup.

At the time, the API integration between the client’s payment portals and NetSuite wasn’t functioning correctly.

I started manually ticking and tying transactions one by one, verifying if they were valid in the payment platform and if they had cleared the bank. Because the volume was so massive, I eventually brought in a dedicated team of Scrubbed professionals. Since the majority of our team comes from an audit background, they thrive in this kind of investigative work. We moved through the data methodically, identifying sales refunds, credit memos, and double-bookings that had quietly skewed the client’s financial reality for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the few historical anomalies where the cost of investigation outweighed the financial benefit, we worked transparently with the client to park them in an agreed-upon expense account, ensuring the balance sheet remained clean and audit-ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>From Cleanup to Continuity\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The actual cleanup was intensive, but it didn’t take us long to execute because we had the flexible capacity to scale our team exactly when the client needed it.

This phase is about laying a foundation of such clarity that it eliminates downstream surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Setting Upfront Expectations​\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The best approach is to set expectations during the kickoff. This is your opportunity to clearly outline the audit timeline, specify necessary documents, and align on firm deadlines. Most importantly, put everything in writing. Whether in the engagement letter or a follow-up email, written documentation of deadlines, scope, and fees protects your firm and eliminates “he said, she said” disputes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Educating Clients Proactively​\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Use proactive communication to walk clients through the timeline, making sure they understand that timely information is key to keeping their project on track. Clients need to understand a simple truth: delays on their end extend the timeline. When you tie their actions directly to outcomes, you set the foundation for accountability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Using the Right Communication Tools​\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Don’t let vital information get lost in email chains. A secure client portal is the most effective option, as it tracks all requests and uploads in one place. If you don’t use a portal, a shared tracker in Excel, SharePoint, or Teams works as long as both sides have access to one source of truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pro tip for difficult clients: Set clear boundaries early and stick to them.

It’s a systemic issue across professional services. According to the Project Management Institute, 50% of projects experience scope creep, often resulting in budget overruns and missed deadlines. For accounting firms, those missed deadlines can quickly snowball into rework, strained relationships, and lost trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Handling Late Responses\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>When clients delay, your firm must respond by tying the missing documents directly to the overall timeline. The best response is professional and impact-focused, avoiding any accusatory language. For example: “Since we haven’t received X document, the draft report will shift to [new date].” This immediately connects the delay to the consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Managing Scope Changes\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>When the client asks for work that falls outside the original agreement, you must always explain three things:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Pushing Back Professionally​\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>\u003Col>\u003Cli>What the additional work requires.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>How it affects the timeline.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>How it affects fees.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Fol>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The most effective way to manage pushback is to frame the response around maintaining accuracy and compliance. By explaining the detailed steps required to complete the work properly, you offer a realistic timeline that protects quality and staff workload.

A professional outsourced team can manage the necessary high-volume, transactional work (like month-end close, reconciliations, and back-office processing) that often drives the busy season rush. This stable capacity is the non-negotiable insurance policy against missed deadlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>The Scrubbed Solution: Your Capacity Backbone for Busy Season\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Don’t let your firm’s reputation and team’s well-being be the casualty of peak season volume.

Under ASC 606-10-25-19, goods and services are distinct only if: (1) They are capable of being distinct, the benefit from them can either be on their own or together with other readily available resources; and (2) the goods or services within the context of the contract, are distinct, which means the company’s promise to transfer these to the customers is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Establishing CLPs means granting customers the right to acquire free or discounted goods or services in the future, giving rise to two obligations&nbsp; (1) The delivery of the goods or services promised; and (2) The future fulfillment of the rights granted.. In the case of CLPs, ASC 606 requires that for this right to give rise to a performance obligation, the CLP should provide a material right to the customer, and the customer would not have received such right without entering into that contract. If the rights granted qualify, considerations received for these sales must be allocated to these obligations,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The standard does not specify the qualifications or the definition of material rights. However, ASC 606-10-55-43 specifies that if the customers’ rights to acquire future goods or services would be at a price equivalent to the stand-alone selling price of those goods or services, then these rights do not provide the customers with a material right, even if these rights can be exercised only by entering into that contract.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Step 4: Allocate the transaction price\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>ASC 606 requires companies to allocate the transaction price to all the identified performance obligations in the contract, including the customers’ rights for additional goods or services under CLPs, provided these rights have passed the “material right” assessment under Step 2.

Therefore, the price allocated to these rights is initially recognized as a contract liability and will later be recognized as revenue when the performance obligation to deliver additional goods or services underlying the rights is fulfilled.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To sum up, revenue from the rights shall be recognized when the customers exercise these rights and the Company delivers the goods or services.

ASC 606-10-55-48 states that if a company expects to be entitled to a breakage in a contract liability, the company should recognize the expected breakage amount as revenue based on a historical pattern of rights exercised by customers. In the case of CLPs, a company’s estimated breakage is considered as early as Step 4. As you may recall, ASC 606-10-55-44 requires entities to adjust their stand-alone selling price estimate considering the likelihood that the right will be exercised. For example, suppose a company expects that 80% of the points granted will be redeemed. In that case, the remaining 20% will be the initially estimated breakage and will be recognized as part of revenue. Revenue recognition for the breakage follows the pattern of the rights exercised or redeemed by the customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Companies are required to reassess their breakage estimate every reporting period. Say, if as a result of the reassessment there is an increase from the initial assessed probability of exercise, this increase in estimate shall be accounted for as an additional liability. It should be noted that any changes in the estimate should be accounted for prospectively, and the original stand-alone selling price allocated to the rights should not be adjusted. For entities such as nonprofits, proper treatment of these estimates is also a crucial part of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Findustries\u002Faccounting-for-non-profit-organizations\u002F\">nonprofit financial reporting\u003C\u002Fa> to ensure transparency and compliance with applicable accounting standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, ASC 606-10-55-44 also states that if a company does not expect to be entitled to a breakage, the company should recognize the expected breakage amount as revenue only when the likelihood of exercising the remaining rights becomes remote. To determine whether the company expects to be entitled to a breakage amount, the company should consider the guidance on constraining estimates of variable consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Constraining Estimates of Variable Consideration\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The transaction price shall include some or all of an amount of variable consideration estimated using either of the methods mentioned in ASC 606-10-32-8: expected value or most likely amount. However, the inclusion shall only be to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of recognized revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Picture this: a customer places an online order, pays through PayPal, returns one of the items a week later, and applies a discount voucher at checkout. From the shopper’s point of view, this is just a normal transaction. But for businesses, each step adds complexity when applying ASC 606’s rule that revenue must be recognized once performance obligations are satisfied.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In e-commerce, several factors give rise to recurring challenges in applying revenue recognition, such as:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Principal vs Agent Considerations\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>A critical challenge for online marketplaces is determining whether they are acting as a principal (directly providing the goods or services) or as an agent (facilitating the transaction between buyers and third-party sellers).\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The principal versus agent determination follows a two-step process:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Identify the specified good or service to be provided to the end consumer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Assess whether the reporting entity controls the specified good or service before it is transferred to the consumer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>A reporting entity is considered the principal in a transaction if it gains control of the specified good or service before it is transferred to the consumer. Conversely, the entity is considered an agent if it does not gain control before the transfer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>However, determining whether the reporting entity has obtained control is not always straightforward. ASC 606 provides the following indicators to help management make this assessment:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Col>\u003Cli>The entity is primarily responsible for delivering and ensuring the acceptability of the good or service.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The entity bears inventory risk either before transfer to the customer or after, such as when returns are possible.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The entity has the ability to set the price, suggesting control over the good or service.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Fol>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Understanding the distinction between principal and agent is crucial, as it directly affects the amount of revenue recognized. For instance, when acting as a principal, an entity must recognize revenue based on the gross amount of sales. Conversely, when acting as an agent, revenue is limited to the net commission or fee earned.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>A common area where the principal-versus-agent distinction becomes important is in the treatment of payment processing fees. Many e-commerce businesses rely on third-party intermediaries such as PayPal, Stripe, or credit card companies to process customer transactions. These intermediaries often deduct a service fee before remitting the net balance to the seller.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>From a cash perspective, this might appear straightforward—the seller simply receives the net proceeds. However, the accounting treatment requires closer evaluation under ASC 606.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If the reporting entity is the principal, it must recognize revenue at the gross sales amount by the agent from the customer– this is before deducting the agent’s commission and any related payment processing fees. In most cases, processing fees are recorded separately as an operating expense, not as a direct reduction of revenue.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Managing Returns and Warranties\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>Returns and warranties make revenue recognition especially tricky in e-commerce. A company may record a sale at the point of purchase, only for the customer to return the product days or weeks later. This timing gap means revenue cannot always be recognized outright — businesses must estimate potential returns and adjust revenue upfront, relying on historical data, current trends, and return patterns.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The right of return typically entitles customers to a refund, store credit, or product exchange. To account for this properly, companies must recognize revenue based on the expected consideration, excluding items likely to be returned, and record both a refund liability and a return asset for products expected to come back.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Warranties add another layer of complexity. Companies often include them with sales, but the accounting depends on whether the warranty is assurance-type or service-type. An assurance-type warranty provides the customer with the assurance that the product will function in accordance with agreed specifications, and it is accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees. A service-type warranty offers the customer a service in addition to the assurance that the product will function as specified, and it is accounted for as a separate performance obligation under ASC 606. Knowing the difference is critical, as it affects when and how revenue is recognized.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Shipping and Handling Activities\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>Shipping and handling services play a crucial role in e-commerce revenue recognition. Businesses that sell goods typically use the services of third-party shipping providers for delivery. In some cases, customers are charged a separate shipping and handling fee, while in others, these costs are embedded in the product price.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>An entity that promises to transfer goods to a customer may perform shipping and handling activities related to those goods. If these activities occur before the customer gains control of the goods, they are activities to fulfill the entity’s promise to transfer goods. If the activities occur after the customer gains control, the entity can choose to account for them as part of the goods to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods rather than as additional promised services. If such an election is not made, shipping and handling activities are treated as promised services and may be considered additional performance obligations.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Companies should carefully review the shipping terms to determine when control of the goods transfers to the customer and whether the shipping services should be treated as a separate performance obligation.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Coupons and Vouchers\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>Coupons and vouchers are widely used promotional tools in the e-commerce industry to attract new customers and retain existing ones. These promotional tools allow customers to redeem discounts on future purchases or receive free products. Under ASC 606, coupons and vouchers are considered a form of consideration payable to a customer, which encompasses cash, credit, or other similar items that an entity pays, or expects to pay, to a customer. An entity must account for coupons and vouchers as a reduction in the transaction price, and consequently, in the amount of revenue recognized, unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for a distinct good or service that the customer transfers to the entity. The latter is accounted for in the same way as an entity accounts for its other purchases from suppliers. The determination of whether a payment is in exchange for a distinct good or service from a customer is a matter of professional judgment.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Customer Loyalty Program\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>A customer loyalty program is a marketing strategy that rewards and recognizes customers for their repeat purchases or continued engagement with the company. When customers earn points through this program, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to these points, based on their standalone selling price. Revenue is recognized when the entity has satisfied its performance obligation relating to the points or when the points expire.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Bill and Hold Arrangements\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>Bill-and-hold arrangements arise where a customer is billed for goods that are ready for delivery, but the entity does not ship the goods to the customer until a later date. Companies must assess whether control has been transferred to the customer in these cases, even though the customer does not have physical possession of the goods. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods transfers to the customer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>For a customer to be considered to have obtained control over the goods in a bill-and-hold arrangement, all of the following criteria must be met:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Col>\u003Cli>The reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement must be substantive (e.g., the customer has requested the arrangement).\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The product must be identified separately as belonging to the customer.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The product currently must be ready for physical transfer to the customer.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The seller cannot have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Fol>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>How E-Commerce Businesses Can Achieve ASC 606 Compliance\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Here are the best practices for ensuring compliance with ASC 606 in the e-commerce industry:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Col>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Understand Contracts Thoroughly:\u003C\u002Fb> It’s crucial to fully understand the nature of contracts with customers to appropriately recognize the correct amount of revenue in the proper period.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Implement Strong Systems and Controls: \u003C\u002Fb>Establishing effective systems and controls helps track the satisfaction of performance obligations, manage changes in transaction prices, and ensure compliance with ASC 606 disclosure requirements.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Consult with Experts:\u003C\u002Fb> Consulting with technical accounting professionals can provide valuable insights and help navigate the complexities of revenue recognition to ensure accurate reporting.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Fol>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":91,"type":92,"name":93,"data":804},{"items":805},[806],{"url":97,"title":702,"alt":702,"description":807,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

However, this methodology primarily focuses on the past—rather than taking future anticipated conditions into account—and it delays impairment recognition. In addition, companies could use various credit impairment models under the incurred loss methodology, creating disparities and inconsistencies.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>These limitations spurred the development of the CECL model, intended to provide financial statement users with more timely and relevant financial information that is not just based on past events and current conditions but also forward-looking information.

There is no specific threshold for recognizing an impairment allowance under the new model. You should recognize impairment that reflects a current estimate of all your expected credit losses for your financial assets as of the reporting period. For assets previously assessed with a low loss risk, such as current trade receivables, you must also measure expected credit losses, which is a significant change from the current US GAAP.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>CECL adoption is likely to affect your financial reporting significantly. By requiring you to recognize expected credit losses on a timelier basis, CECL will result in recognizing higher allowances for credit losses that reduce the current ratio. In addition, because you’ll need to recognize provision expenses upfront, you may experience higher expenses affecting several key profit-and-loss metrics, such as operating profit, net income before and after taxes, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), and EPS (earnings per share), for example. With these financial metrics impacted by the new credit loss model, you’ll also see an impact on your overall financial position and performance, existing loan agreements, and even investors’ perceptions of your company.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>It’s Time To Get Ready\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>If your business falls within the category of entity types that must adopt CECL beginning in 2023, it’s time to start preparing if you haven’t already.

It’s worthwhile investing time and effort to understand the CECL requirements and changes, along with how it differs from US GAAP and how these differences will affect your current accounting policies and processes. Consulting with experts like the Scrubbed team can help you better understand how the new accounting standard will affect your business specifically.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Establish the right team. Adopting CECL requires a team effort. Ensure that your senior management and the right players within key departments, such as finance and accounting, credit, risk, and IT, are on board and well-trained to provide deep expertise on CECL\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Evaluate the current situation. Start with your current credit loss information and processes to identify existing resources that could be used as leverage. For example, the new guidance doesn’t require a specific method for developing an estimate of expected credit losses. A company that currently uses discounted cash flows or loss rates to create estimates could use them as leverage in developing an expected credit loss model.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Address the gaps. Once you’ve evaluated the currently available information and identified other missing resources or information, create a plan to address the gaps between these data. Your plan might include consulting with companies that have already completed a CECL implementation, along with auditors, regulators, and third-party resources that can provide information and resources to help you meet the new requirements.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Determine the inputs needed to calculate losses. Accumulating and determining the appropriate inputs needed to calculate expected credit losses is a significant step. These inputs may include your historical credit information; the complexity, size, and composition of your financial assets portfolio; industry operating results and forecasts; and relevant macro and micro economic factors, like inflation, unemployment, and gross domestic product. This exercise requires thorough analysis of relevant inputs and how they might indicate customer payment behaviors and credit ratings, as well as the professional judgment to ensure the data you’re considering are relevant and indicative of customers’ future credit risk.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":91,"type":92,"name":93,"data":879},{"items":880},[881],{"url":97,"title":237,"alt":237,"description":882,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

As a result, many firms are finding their teams stretched thin. They’ve done all they can with the staff they have, and it’s becoming clear that relying solely on traditional hiring methods isn’t sustainable.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Another challenge that Jack mentioned is how client needs have evolved. Work that used to be predictable and ongoing is now more project-based and specialized. So, the skills that you may need now might be different from the skills you need tomorrow. This unpredictability means that firms need to be able to quickly scale their teams up or down, and that kind of agility is hard to achieve with the current staffing model. For Jack, \u003Ci>“having that flexibility to match not only the cycle but then the skill set that the project demands is critical.”\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Building Flexible Teams Through Hybrid and Outsourced Staffing\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Once the challenges around talent became clear, the conversation shifted to what firms can do about it. One of the key solutions Rizza discussed was to explore other models, like outsourcing, to create a more agile and scalable workforce.

But making that work takes more than just hiring a third party and hoping for the best. Successful outsourcing starts with clearly defined roles and expectations. Open communication is key, and the relationship needs ongoing attention, not just a one-time setup. Regular check-ins and performance reviews help keep everything on track.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Rizza highlights that one of the first steps for companies to start exploring outsourcing or hybrid workforces is by taking a good look at where their team stands today.

As a nonprofit, you face the added challenge of competing with for-profit companies that often have bigger budgets and higher pay scales. Even if you succeed in finding a bookkeeper or accounting professional with the right skills and experience, you’ll need to devote time to training, onboarding, and managing that employee and provide health insurance and other benefits.

IRS rules on reporting for 501c3 organizations can be among the most complicated, especially since your revenue sources may be less straightforward than a company that sells goods and services.

In the US and global markets, LIBOR is widely used as a reference interest rate in commercial agreements and a broad range of financial instruments. However, in 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that all currency and term variants of LIBOR (IBORs) are expected to cease after the end of 2021. This decision was made due to the increasing absence of active underlying markets and the scarcity of term unsecured deposit transactions which led to serious questions about the future sustainability of the LIBOR benchmarks.\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

If you chose to defer those payments, you’re now required to pay them. The first half of the deferred amount was due by December 31, 2021 (which the IRS then amended to January 3, 2022) and the second half is due by December 31, 2022.&nbsp; &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If you don’t pay your deferred taxes on time or if you pay less than the amount due, you’ll be hit with a 10 percent penalty on the entire amount you deferred. For example, if you owe $100,000 in deferred taxes and you make the first payment of $50,000 on time but you’re late with the second payment of $50,000, you’ll pay a 10 percent penalty on the entire $100,000.&nbsp; &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Taking the Qualified Business Deduction in Short Tax Years\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Since the 2018 tax year certain types of pass-through businesses, including some S corporations and partnerships, have been eligible for the Qualified Business Deduction (QBD), also called the 199A deduction.

It is not uncommon to have a couple of initial meetings to talk big picture goals, then drill down into the specifics of what you want your outsourced accounting team to do and the reporting you want them to provide. In some cases, it is simply the routine bookkeeping and monthly accounting work. In others, it is the full breadth of services from data entry to fractional CFO services and strategic financial support. Or something that starts at one level and evolves into more. Whatever your needs are, share what you want from the relationship so your provider can put together the right plan and team to meet your needs now and going forward.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Clearly establish responsibilities and communication preferences.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Your goals and those of your outsourced accounting team are the same: to ensure you have clean, timely financials, that you understand what they mean, and are armed with the information you need at any time to make informed decisions. Yet determining who will be responsible for every level of that information chain can be different for each company. If someone will handle your invoicing internally, but you want to outsource your bookkeeping and controller work, make sure that is clearly stated up front, or as your needs change. Do you prefer to set up regular meetings to go over your financials, or have them sent to you so you can review in advance and ask questions via email or a portal? The options are countless, and none are right or wrong. It is just important to establish roles, responsibilities, and communication methods up front and reiterate them as needs change.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Take the time needed to set up your system correctly.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>As you are setting up an outsourced accounting relationship, regardless of whether it is for a new company or an existing one, communication is vital to its success. While outsourced accounting providers have learned from previous engagements and have well established best practices, it still takes time and patience to get everything moving forward smoothly. Transferring your books to a new secure cloud solution, setting up tiered logins for all the people who need access, learning a new system, and getting to know your team takes time.

It does not, however, mean you don’t need to continue to review your financials on a regular basis. Your outsourced team will create and share your monthly reports with you, including your balance sheet, income statement, cash flow report, aging payables and receivables, and potentially others too. It is important to review these reports so you understand how your company is performing, if you are running tight on cash, if you are getting paid as quickly as you should, and if adjustments need to be made.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Review KPIs and understand what they mean.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>In addition to analyzing your company’s financial statements, it is smart to also set up and analyze some key performance indicators as well. Your outsourced team can likely recommend the ones that are most important for your type and age of business. For example, newer businesses often review things like customer acquisition cost, monthly recurring revenue, and gross burn rate. Other KPIs to consider are gross margin, net profit margin, and lead-to-client conversion rate. Depending on your business, some will be more important than others, but talk to your outsourced team about setting up a dashboard so you can look at these KPIs whenever you want.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The benefits of outsourcing all or part of your accounting functions can be enormous, especially when working with specialized providers offering accounting, tax, or \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcontent.scrubbed.net\u002Findustries\u002Fbiotechnology-accounting\u002F\">biotech accounting services\u003C\u002Fa>.

This standard requires businesses to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, with a goal of improving financial transparency and ensuring consistency in financial reporting. The changes make it easier for users of financial statements to see a company’s exposure to risk, understand an organization’s true financial position, and make comparisons between organizations.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Under the previous standard (ASC 840), many types of leases could be accounted for off the balance sheet.

Its core provision is to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for virtually all lease transactions, and it also creates new accounting considerations for how to reflect operating lease arrangements.

While the new standard doesn’t fundamentally change lessor accounting, there are some important differences compared to ASC 840, which still applies to lessors. For example, ASC 842 aligns lessor accounting guidance with the guidance in ASC 606 (revenue recognition), and it states that financial statements should now generally replace the word “rent” with “lease.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>ASC 842 has a more significant impact on lessees. If you are a lessee, you’ll generally see higher right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on your balance sheet for two reasons: You’ll be capitalizing your operating lease arrangements (instead of recording them as an outright expense as you accounted for it under the old standard) and you’ll most likely be using the option of a risk-free rate in lieu of the incremental borrowing rate (IBR).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>While ASC 842 ideally requires using the rate implicit in the lease, with the IBR used in the absence of an implicit rate, as a private company you have the expedient option of using the risk-free rate by class of the underlying asset—meaning, you don’t have to apply this rate to every lease. Since the risk-free rate is usually lower than the IBR, it will result in higher right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and a higher net present value of future cash flows. You should also be aware that your debt-to-equity ratio is likely to increase due to the combined effects of using the risk-free rate and capitalization of your operating leases (assuming all other factors remain constant).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>ASC 842 will also impact your statement of cash flows presentation, since the amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets and lease payments are now presented separately under operating activities, using the indirect method of cash flows presentation. However, only the presentation will change; the actual cash flow remains the same.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Finally, implementing ASC 842 will require you to disclose significantly more information about your lease obligations than you have in the past—from the nature of all leases and subleases, to lease-related costs, and many other details.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Keep in mind that the new standard applies to all active leases with an original contract of longer than 12 months, even if the remaining term is less than 12 months as of January 1, 2022. Leases with an original term of less than 12 months can still be capitalized if you don’t use the short-term lease expedient. In addition, leases with an original term of less than 12 months can still be scoped in the requirements of ASC 842, as the short-term lease expedient is only an option.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Why is ASC 842 Challenging to Comply With?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>This new standard requires a greater degree of judgment on the part of private companies when it comes to reporting on leases, along with much more extensive disclosure requirements than you were accustomed to under the previous standard. While it provides greater transparency about a business’s financial position it also makes lease accounting more complex, spurring more questions and the potential for confusion.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Why Did the Industry Change the Lease Accounting Standard?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Much of the impetus for ASC 842 stems from past financial scandals like the Enron case. Under the previous standard, a company with significant leases (like Enron) could publish financial statements that complied with the standard but didn’t provide a true picture of the business’s financial position or its degree of risk. For example, only leases that met certain financial thresholds were required to be included on the balance sheet. The update aimed to close those gaps and improve transparency especially in areas tied to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Fbusinesses\u002Frisk-advisory\u002F\">risk and SOX compliance\u003C\u002Fa> ensuring that lease obligations are clearly reflected in a company’s financial disclosures.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>After Enron dissolved, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) tasked the FASB to develop better standards for disclosing lease arrangements. The resulting standard, ASC 842, requires public and private companies (excluding government entities) and certain nonprofit organizations to include much more detailed information about lease obligations in their financial statements.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>What Should I Do Next?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Complying with ASC 842 is an important but complicated undertaking.

To stimulate the economy and as a way to help the restaurant industry, the Act temporarily allows businesses to deduct 100% of these business meal expenses paid or incurred between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Note that other requirements for deductibility, including that the expense be “ordinary” and “necessary” and incurred in carrying on a trade or business, remain intact.\u003C\u002Ffont>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cfont size=\"2\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Ffont>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>\u003Cfont size=\"2\">Deductibility of qualified disaster relief contributions\u003C\u002Ffont>\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>\u003Cfont size=\"2\">Under the CARES Act and effective only in 2020, corporations may deduct charitable gifts of up to 25% of the corporation’s taxable income. However, the Act modified such limit which now allows corporations to deduct qualified disaster relief contributions of up to 100% of their taxable income. Qualified disaster relief contributions are cash contributions to public charities made for relief efforts in a qualified disaster area. The contributions must be paid during the period beginning January 1, 2020, ending on the date 60 days after the enactment of the Act.\u003C\u002Ffont>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cfont size=\"2\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Ffont>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>\u003Cfont size=\"2\">Changes to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”)\u003C\u002Ffont>\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>\u003Cfont size=\"2\">The ERTC was first introduced under the CARES Act which provided an eligible employer with a refundable payroll tax credit equal to 50% of certain qualified wages paid to its employees beginning March 13, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

U.S. firms need confidence that offshore teams will deliver work consistent with GAAS, PCAOB, and Yellow Book requirements.

Many offshore professionals already hold CPA or Chartered Accountant credentials, but what sets them apart is the additional training they receive on GAAS, PCAOB, and Yellow Book standards. Ongoing education ensures they’re not only qualified but also current with updates from the AICPA and PCAOB, so their work reflects the latest guidance.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>That foundation is reinforced by strong quality controls. Workpapers follow U.S. documentation norms, with consistent tick marks, indexing, and cross-referencing. Deliverables such as audit memos, reconciliations, and testing templates move through several layers of review before reaching U.S. managers. By the time they’re added to the engagement file, they’re polished, consistent, and ready for inspection.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Seamless Collaborations\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Technical skills alone aren’t enough. What makes offshore support successful is the way teams work together. Offshore professionals join kickoff calls, stay active in weekly updates, and follow clear escalation protocols when issues arise. This steady communication ensures they’re aligned with U.S. audit leads at every stage of the engagement.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Even the time zone difference, often seen as an obstacle, can become a practical advantage. While U.S. teams wrap up their day, offshore professionals continue with testing and documentation.

It allows you to consider key factors like diverse pricing tiers, anticipated customer acquisition, and potential churn rates. Analyzing historical revenue data is a fundamental approach to revenue forecasting for SaaS businesses.

Gliezel David, Director of Technical Accounting Services at Scrubbed, pointed out that it is more important than ever for firms to develop “careful strategies to secure funding, identify the right partner, build that partnership and negotiate deals effectively.” This often requires specialized expertise such as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Fbusinesses\u002Ftechnical-accounting-services\u002F\">technical accounting support\u003C\u002Fa> to ensure accuracy during complex transactions. \n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>R&amp;D Costs: \u003C\u002Fb>The lengthy drug development process, from finding and enrolling patients to carrying out clinical trials, often means it can take a decade or more to bring a new product to market. Gliezel’s opinion is that firms need a strong team that can handle both the scientific and operational sides, including financial planning and monitoring. “Accurate accounting of transactions is crucial even at the initial stages of starting a company or a project,” she advised.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Regulatory Compliance:\u003C\u002Fb> “Keeping up with these rules is not just a box to check: It’s a must for getting products approved onto the market,” said Gliezel. “An effective risk management plan is key to staying in compliance, and failing to do so can lead to expensive penalties, delays, and damage to the company’s reputation.”\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How Fractional Finance Teams Can Help\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Fractional finance teams can provide valuable support and enhance in-house capabilities by offering tailored solutions, especially for small to mid-size biotech and life sciences companies.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Cost-effective Expertise:\u003C\u002Fb> A key advantage of fractional teams is their cost-effectiveness, especially in competitive markets. “If you are in California, biotech talent is extremely scarce,” said Ismaila. “Finding talented people comes at a very high cost.” Kevin Musni, Scrubbed’s Accounting Lead for the biotech and life sciences industries added, “Fractional support opens the door to the world; you can access talent from everywhere.” Because of this wider talent pool, fractional teams allow firms to access specialized knowledge at a fraction of the cost of full-time hires.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Specific Expertise For Different Project Phases:\u003C\u002Fb> A fractional finance team can bring specific expertise required for various phases, such as financial modeling help when accounting for a complex transaction or support for raising investor capital. This is especially valuable in industries like real estate, where tailored \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Findustries\u002Faccounting-for-real-estate-companies\u002F\">real estate accounting solutions\u003C\u002Fa> can address project-specific financial needs. Companies can access the necessary high-level financial skills on demand without the long-term commitment of hiring full-time staff for whom there isn’t a permanent need.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Scalable Solutions: \u003C\u002Fb>The ability to access financial skills on demand allows firms to scale operations up and down as needed and focus internal resources on core activities. “Engaging a fractional finance team is a strategic decision,” said Gliezel. “By outsourcing finance functions, a company can concentrate and focus on their core activities, including drug development, clinical trials and regulatory approval.” This strategy also allows firms to pivot quickly to adapt to rapid changes in the market, outcomes of clinical trials, and changes in the regulatory environment without compromising quality or increasing costs.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Success Story: Jaguar Health\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jaguar Health’s experience with fractional finance teams demonstrates a compelling success story in the biotech sector. When their Chief Accounting Officer, Ismaila, inherited the partnership with Scrubbed, he had the option to move operations in-house a year later. However, the quality and value provided convinced him to maintain the fractional relationship.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Working with Scrubbed, Jaguar Health transformed its financial reporting from below-average standards to SEC-equivalent quality across all levels. The relationship gradually expanded to include technical memo preparation, transactional support, tax services, and corporate finance functions. This comprehensive support enabled the company to focus more on strategic vision while improving operational excellence.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The success of the partnership hinged on the Scrubbed team’s commitment to quality, accountability, and timely delivery. The fractional team provided consistent support and maintained operational stability even during internal staff turnover. This human capital aspect proved crucial, as the team demonstrated not just technical expertise but also a deep commitment to Jaguar Health’s goals and vision, going beyond traditional consultant relationships to become a true strategic partner.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Forward-looking Trends and Predictions\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The industry is evolving with several key developments, particularly in AI and automation. As Ismaila emphasized: “AI is just the tool… companies need to start assessing right now… how they can implement AI right now as part of what I call IA – innovative automation”. Data visualization tools also help streamline the analytics process, bringing visibility to the patterns behind the data and enhancing financial analysis. Advances in Blockchain are making data security and transparency easier to maintain.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fractional finance teams will often have experience with different systems and how those systems interact and help firms create automated processes.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How to Make the Most of Partnering with a Fractional Financial Team\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The success of fractional teams depends heavily on finding the right partner. According to Ismaila, “The most important part in being able to succeed is human capital… committed to quality, committed to accountability.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Start Early: \u003C\u002Fb>Kevin stressed the importance of early financial planning: “It’s really important to set a solid financial foundation at the very beginning of the life of biotech and bioscience company because sometimes we tend to focus too much of our resources in the R&amp;D forgetting that finance is something that’s going to help you get to the finish line.” The key is to start by defining the firm’s needs, whether that’s day-to-day bookkeeping, financial reporting, or tax compliance, and evaluating the experience of potential providers in meeting those needs.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Start Small: \u003C\u002Fb>Ismaila’s experience is that you can overcome fears about working with a fractional team and build a successful relationship by starting small. “For those who are reluctant to start hiring fractional support, you could hire gradually, start small, and then scale,” he said. “Find a fractional partner willing to provide a trial period that would not lock you in.”\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Think Strategically:\u003C\u002Fb> The emphasis should be on sustainable practices that will help the company grow. “Ethical sourcing and patient access programs are important for ensuring fairness and responsibility,” said Gliezel. Integrating accurate sustainability and ESG reporting will also support the company’s goals.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Following these tips will help firms find the right fractional team that can help the business control costs, tap into specialized knowledge, and streamline compliance. “Finding the right partner is super important, especially when it comes to complex accounting tasks that often pop up in this industry,” said Gliezel. \n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Get Started with Your Fractional Finance Team\u003C\u002Fb>, Fractional finance teams offer a strategic solution that combines expertise, flexibility, and scalability for life sciences and biotech companies who want to stay competitive while managing costs.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The key lies in finding the right partner who understands industry-specific challenges and can deliver consistent quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",[2439,2440,2441],{"id":2374,"name":2375,"slug":2376,"createdAt":2377},{"id":63,"name":64,"slug":65,"createdAt":66},{"id":152,"name":153,"slug":154,"createdAt":155},{"id":2443,"title":2444,"slug":2445,"content":8,"excerpt":2446,"status":10,"featuredImage":2447,"authorId":2448,"categoryId":13,"createdAt":2449,"updatedAt":2450,"metaTitle":2451,"metaDescription":2452,"metaKeywords":2453,"ogImage":2447,"canonicalUrl":19,"heroImage":19,"scheduledAt":19,"deletedAt":19,"blocks":2454,"focusKeyword":2472,"seoScore":318,"workflowStatus":19,"workflowStep":34,"workflowId":19,"locale":35,"author_name":2473,"author_email":2474,"author_avatar":2475,"author_job_title":2476,"category_name":39,"category_slug":40,"tags":2477},"0f0d6d56-ba45-4721-b172-ab95bc891478","Data Readiness in M&A: Lessons from the M&A West Stage","data-readiness-in-ma-lessons-from-the-ma-west-stage","This post summarizes a panel discussion on data readiness in M&A, highlighting how organized financial data impacts deal valuation and success.","https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fcc090ca4-bdac-4c6f-9a37-f94278137dd3.webp","d4330c15-e0f4-49e1-8bac-5ca630aba002","2026-07-22T06:23:07.048Z","2026-07-22T06:57:53.792Z","Data Readiness in M&A: Lessons from the M&A West Stage - Scrubbed","Data Readiness in M&A: Lessons from the M&A West Stage Financial data integrity often dictates a deal’s success.

Thar Casey expanded on this, stressing that data readiness is a day-one discipline. Founders must focus on building fundamental value rather than chasing external noise or “shiny pennies.” Practically, this means maintaining pristine records, from fully reconciled cap tables to documented consulting agreements and termination letters, from the very beginning.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Why is this continuous discipline so critical? Because, as Steve Monterrosso pointed out, most companies are bought rather than sold. When an unexpected buyer arrives, a reactive scramble often exposes hidden gaps in the ledger or broken operational patterns that take months to correct. Operating from a day-one discipline prevents this fire drill.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Real-World Battle Scars and Pitfalls\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>In M&amp;A, time is the ultimate enemy of a high valuation.

Farin noted that the market is facing a “tsunami” of AI-related automation, sharing that investment professionals are already uploading thousands of pages of raw data into tools like Claude to rapidly extract risks and draft investment memos.

It’s never been easy to keep a specialized function like accounting fully staffed in-house, ensuring you have the right team at the right time. Amidst unprecedented labor shortages and high turnover rates, it’s now nearly impossible. Accounting positions are often vacant for long periods, raising the risk you’ll hire a candidate who isn’t the best fit. When you outsource your accounting to a third-party firm, you shift the burden and risk of recruiting and retaining qualified accounting staff. And when you choose a provider that can tap highly experienced accountants outside the US market, staffing your accounting function becomes easy.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>2. Outsourcing gives you access to highly experienced accounting professionals. The more challenging the labor market, the tougher it is to find accounting staff with the experience and expertise to match your needs. Whether you’re leading a fast-growing tech company, an established nonprofit, an emerging biotech, or a large CPA firm, you can’t afford to devote time and resources getting an inexperienced accountant up to speed. But depending on your company size and budget, you may not be able to compete for top candidates. Outsourced accounting providers only hire professionals who have the best credentials and a strong track record—making them a smart choice for organizations seeking specialized support like biotech accounting services, where accuracy, compliance, and industry-specific insight are critical.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>3. Outsourcing is ideal for flexing to handle ebbs and flows or changing conditions. Almost every organization has peaks and valleys in its accounting needs. Besides the typical quarterly financial reporting and annual tax filing and audit preparation, your business might have other high-demand periods related to grant cycles or investor requirements, for example. Flexing to meet those needs is difficult, if not impossible, when you rely solely on internal staff. At the same time, many companies are anxious about adding permanent employees given the current market volatility and mounting recessionary pressures. An outsourced accounting provider not only offers year-round support for ongoing needs, without requiring additional head count; they can also flex up and down as your needs fluctuate, so you always have the right resources at the right time.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>4. Outsourcing helps you fill gaps in capabilities or expertise. Aside from the most common tasks—like accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and bank reconciliation—your organization might have complex accounting needs that require specialized capabilities or expertise. Perhaps you’re preparing to launch a new product and you need financial models to assess the viability. Maybe it’s time to upgrade to more robust accounting software, but you don’t have the in-house skillsets to customize the solution to your needs and manage the implementation. An outsourced accounting provider has specialists in areas like these and more, on staff and ready to augment your internal team by filling in gaps in capabilities or expertise.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>5. Outsourcing gives you ready access to industry-specific experience. While some accounting tasks don’t vary much by business, there are always nuances unique to your industry. In the nonprofit world, it’s all about grants. For tech companies, reporting on metrics like monthly recurring revenue and customer churn rates is critical. In the real estate industry, you need to follow complex lease accounting standards. Rather than struggle to hire in-house professionals experienced in your industry, it’s much easier to partner with an outsourced provider staffed with accountants who’ve worked in your industry, understand its complexities and requirements, and have a proven track record of getting it right.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>6. Outsourcing simplifies your required financial reporting. Staying compliant with financial reporting requirements—whether they’re driven by investors, lenders, donors, or other stakeholders—is challenging for small- and mid-sized businesses. Every stakeholder expects accurate, timely financials they can trust, yet it’s difficult to maintain the in-house accounting staff it takes to handle your unique financial reporting needs. An outsourced accounting provider can take on the burden and complexities of your financial reporting, ensuring you’re always in compliance and meeting your stakeholders’ expectations.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>7. Outsourcing makes it easier to get investor ready. If your business is looking to secure investments from a private equity group or venture capitalist, your financials must be ready to withstand their scrutiny during due diligence and meet their expectations ongoing. At a minimum, you need an accurate, professionally prepared income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. You might also need to provide a detailed budget and revenue and expense projections. If you don’t have the necessary bandwidth or expertise, outsourcing to a third party can be just the solution to getting your financial house in order and generating investor-ready financials.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>8. Outsourcing improves your decision-making. It’s not only investors who need accurate information about your business. To make informed decisions that drive your success, you need accurate financial reports and data analytics. Many organizations struggle with this task, partly because they rely on manual, inefficient processes. The more departments, lines of business, or locations you operate, the more difficult it is to access, report on, and glean insights from financial data without the rights processes and tools. Outsourced accounting providers can assess and improve your financial reporting processes and create data visualizations that help you spot trends, patterns, exceptions, and opportunities.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>9. Outsourcing leaves more time to focus on your core business. Unless you’re a CPA firm, you’re not in the business of accounting. The more time and energy you spend doing daily accounting work yourself or hiring, training, and managing an in-house team, the less you can focus on your core business. Outsourcing your accounting is a great way to gain back time and resources to keep your attention where it can generate the best return. And even if you do lead a CPA firm, outsourcing day-to-day accounting tasks allows your leadership to focus on big-picture responsibilities that often get pushed aside, like setting the firm’s strategy and direction.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>10. Outsourcing can reduce your costs. While it’s not the primary reason, the potential to cut costs is a motivator for some organizations to outsource accounting.

For example, a customer on an annual SaaS contract might have the option to cancel the service before the contract term ends, or a customer on a monthly contract might be allowed to switch to an annual arrangement at any time. Both situations can make accurate revenue recognition more difficult.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>How SaaS Revenue Recognition Can Go Awry\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>The accounting standards for revenue recognition changed effective January 1, 2018, for non-public companies with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This updated standard simplifies revenue recognition and brings greater consistency to financial statements across industries. Compared to the previous standard (ASC 605), the new standard requires more detailed disclosures and more information about a company’s contractual obligations.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>However, some SaaS companies may need to be aware of the new revenue recognition requirements and could inadvertently fail to follow the updated standards in their accounting. In addition, it can be challenging for startups and early-stage SaaS companies that don’t have a team of internal accountants to keep up with new standards like these and apply them correctly.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>But the consequences of failing to do so can be steep. If your SaaS company doesn’t recognize revenue properly, it can create a ripple effect across your business.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Your financial statements will not be accurate.

At Scrubbed, our \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcontent.scrubbed.net\u002Fbusinesses\u002Ftechnical-accounting-services\u002F\">Technical Accounting Group\u003C\u002Fa> follows a five-step process to help SaaS businesses recognize their revenue properly per ASC 606. Our technical accounting specialists take the following steps to carefully analyze each contract on a case-by-case basis and determine how to recognize the contract revenue appropriately:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>•&nbsp; Identify the contract with the customer&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• Determine the company’s performance obligations as outlined within each contract\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• Determine the transaction price from the agreement, breaking down the individual revenue streams (some may be upfront, while others will occur over time) and identifying any variable considerations, non-cash considerations, or financing components, for example&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• Allocate the transaction price, assigning revenue to every performance obligation in the contract&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• Recognize the revenue at the point that the company meets the contracted performance obligations or over the period the company performs the contracted obligation\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Reviewing each contract individually is crucial since they may vary in ways that impact revenue recognition. For instance, some contracts bundle certain services (such as implementation, customization, support, or warranty) into the monthly or annual service fee, while others bill them as separate line items. In addition, some SaaS companies deliver their services solely through in-house staff, while some outsource certain services. Each of these scenarios presents different revenue recognition implications. The process of analyzing each contract individually is complicated and time-consuming—and the more your business grows and the more contracts you have, the more time and effort it takes. That brings us to the second way to get revenue recognition right: Partner with an outsourced accounting firm that understands SaaS accounting, like Scrubbed! Scrubbed provides accounting and finance services for many US-based SaaS businesses, so we understand the complexities of recognizing revenue in accordance with ASC 606.

Contributions, investment returns, and other factors determine the individual account balances. The employees typically bear the investment risk, as the employer’s responsibility is limited to making contributions. The plan’s net assets allocated for benefit payments are equivalent to the total of participants’ individual account balances.

This net interest expense is determined using the discount rate of the benefit obligation. Discrepancies between net interest and actual returns are incorporated into remeasurement gains and losses, acknowledged in OCI, and are not recycled into net income in subsequent periods.

About 50% of in-house teams see high turnover every year, and one in six accounting firms deals with more than 20% turnover. For CPA firms, the average annual turnover is 15%. Added to that, the direct costs associated with replacing an in-house accountant can be as much as 50-60% of the employee’s annual salary.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Talent Shortage: With 340,000 fewer accountants in the workforce than five years ago and 75% of CPAs reaching retirement age, hiring and retention have never been more difficult. In 2024, 83% of senior leaders reported an accounting talent shortage, a dramatic increase from 70% in 2022. The talent shortage is driving up salaries ( accounting managers are currently commanding salaries of $173,000 and rising) and makes it harder for businesses to find the specialized accounting expertise they need.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Operational Inefficiencies: In-house teams can be inefficient, thanks to limited resources and difficulty scaling quickly. The result can be delayed financial reports and other operational slowdowns.

This may provide a sense of control and mitigate potential risks associated with data breaches or unauthorized access to digital accounting systems. In addition, in certain instances, stakeholders, such as investors or regulatory authorities, may prefer to review physical documents for auditing or legal purposes. Traditional accounting, with its reliance on paper-based records, can provide tangible evidence and a documented paper trail that may be perceived as more reliable or authoritative in specific contexts.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ch2>Conclusion\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>While some events companies may still rely on traditional accounting methods, the benefits offered by digital accounting, such as efficiency, real-time insights, cost tracking, and complex revenue recognition, have led to the increasing adoption of digital accounting systems in the industry.

Outsourcing accounting and finance can help CPA firms to scale and address capacity challenges, talent shortages, and broaden service offerings and outsourcing partners can be exactly the strategic allies that you need to achieve planned growth.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Kevin agrees, “One of Baker Tilly’s top three priorities over the next five years is to make sure we’re outsourcing the work that makes sense to be outsourced,” he says. “But we don’t want to work with a faceless organization; we want to work with a real partner who understands our needs and how we intend to grow so they can help us with that vision and goal.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As an example, he describes first working with Scrubbed. “I started with some discussions about doing audit support for me and my clients, and, over a two year period, I more than doubled my book of business. I would never have even been close to that without the help of Scrubbed.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The focus is on being transparent about how the firm would like to grow and choosing a partner that understands the strategy and can complement the firm’s strengths to help them achieve that growth. In Youni’s view, that investment in the relationship and effort to understand the unique needs of each client is at the heart of Scrubbed’s mission. “You don’t just get staff; you get supervisors, directors, senior managers, and a whole suite of services focused on supporting your growth. We like to call it the right fit at the right time, “she says. “You have to choose what works for your firm’s growth and how you like to work. “\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Choose Experience Across Industries\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>When choosing an outsourcing partner, it’s important to look for firms with a full suite of services and experience in various industries and specializations. This ensures that you’re not just hiring bodies but building a team that can supervise and manage complex tasks for a wider range of your clients.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>“We have partners and directors that are experienced in e-commerce and retail, media and entertainment, and many more different industries,” explains Youni.” So, you can find auditors, tax specialists, or technical accountants for whatever your client needs.” For clients like Baker Tilly, that means an easy way to offer more services to existing clients or attract new ones without having to forge new relationships or audition new partners. For example, Kevin focuses mainly on the audit practice, but Baker Tilley’s relationship with Scrubbed has gone beyond that single function. “I’m not a benefit plan expert, but we’ve used Scrubbed on our benefit plans, and you know how specialized that is,” he says. “It’s very unique, very specific, but Scrubbed is able to take our engagements from start to finish.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In reality, successful outsourcing is about more than simply delegating tasks; partnering with an outsourcing firm with multiple strings to its bow can lead to stronger relationships and better outcomes. “What we do as accountants to build relationships with clients is also what we do with our outsourcing partners,” says Kevin. “We have dedicated relationship managers who meet with them weekly and discuss how we can improve the process for both parties.” Regular communication and collaboration help both parties continuously work towards improvement and alignment, leading to a more successful outsourcing arrangement.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Take Advantage of Specialized Talent\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>One advantage of outsourcing is the access to specialized talent that may be difficult to hire or retain, particularly in a tight talent market. This can be critical for firms looking to broaden their services or enter new markets without the overhead of hiring full-time specialized staff. At Scrubbed, this is a key priority. “A lot of times people think, Oh, let me just get some more bookkeepers, or people that can do bank reconciliations – they think that the most basic transactional part is where you start,” says Youni. “Our approach is that we offer on demand, very high quality labor with specialized talent that is harder and much more expensive to find. It’s a much smaller pool and a much more dedicated type of resource.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>That’s exactly what firms like Baker Tilly need to offer broader services to clients and grow the business. “It’s high-level work here. It’s not a processing center, and these are highly talented individuals who can take our engagements from start to finish,” says Kevin. “There’s a myth with outsourcing that, somehow, talent stops at the US border. And that’s ridiculous.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As well as talented audit, tax, and technical accounting professionals, outsourcing firms like Scrubbed will also include hyper-specialized staff well-versed in advanced tools, including AI-driven solutions. These professionals bring a wealth of experience from working with different firms and a wide range of software and tools. “An organization like Scrubbed, where they’re working with different firms, sees so many more AI tools and other types of software than we ever will at Baker Tilly,” Kevin says. “That’s an incredible resource for us.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>Consider Workload Management\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Another effect of the talent crunch is that senior accountants often have to cover routine work as well as their supervisory or managerial responsibilities, leading to more burnout among top performers. Bringing on an outsourced accounting partner can help CPA firms offer new services while also becoming more efficient and allowing senior internal resources to spend more time on client-focused activities that contribute to the firm’s strategic objectives and success.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>While outsourced accounting firms provide the flexibility to right-size the workload for everyone, Kevin also emphasizes the importance of considering the outsourced partner’s workload. “At Baker Tilly, we treat our complementary workforce as an extension of our team. We’re also making sure their workload is not too heavy, just like we do with our internal team members.” This balanced approach can improve retention and job satisfaction which both enhance overall firm productivity.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>It’s a goal shared by Scrubbed, where the focus is not just on recruiting top talent to crunch through work but also on creating real career opportunities and progression for the team. “We have our own internal growth plan,” says Youni. “So, when you are with Scrubbed, there are real career paths from staff to director and beyond. As a result, our retention rates are very high, and our team is very dedicated. That’s different from some of our competitors, and it translates into higher quality services for our clients.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Balance Cost and Quality Considerations\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Another effect of the talent crunch is that senior accountants often have to cover routine work as well as their supervisory or managerial responsibilities, leading to more burnout among top performers.

What systems and resources do you have in place, and where do you feel there are opportunities to improve?\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Scope of Services: Are you seeking help with transactional tasks like accounts payable, receivables, and reconciliations, or do you need a more strategic partner to assist with financial planning, forecasting, and compliance?\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Outsourced accounting services can range from basic bookkeeping to CFO-level strategy.

Missing receipts, incomplete invoices, or insufficient time tracking for grant-funded staff are among the most frequent compliance issues. Without proper records, it becomes difficult to justify expenses during an audit.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Budget Deviations: Exceeding an approved budget category without prior funder approval creates significant compliance risk.. Significant changes should always be communicated in advance and documented with written authorization.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Incorrect Cost Allocation: Charging expenses to the wrong grant or allocating them to general funds can result in serious compliance violations. A clear, consistent system for assigning costs ensures accuracy and protects the integrity of financial reporting.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Managing Multiple Funding Sources: This is one of the most complex challenges, particularly when an organization receives different grants for the same program. Each funder often dictates unique rules for allowable expenses, indirect cost rates, time-and-effort reporting, and close-out deadlines.

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, businesses can once again deduct their qualifying R&amp;D expenses in the same year they incur them.

Through her deliberate drive to embrace new opportunities, navigate challenges with resilience, and her intentional focus on strengthening client relationships, developing future leaders, and instilling a strong execution culture, the team steadily scaled in both size and capability. Today, PBS has evolved into a high-performing team of more than 100 professionals, delivering both small and highly complex client engagements across multiple accounting service offerings. This proven ability to build leaders, deepen client partnerships, scale teams, and sustain a high-impact organization is a defining pillar of what earned her this milestone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Joy’s leadership style is often described as assertive, empowering, and grounded in accountability.

When she later became a mom, her team jokingly began calling her “mother” — a nickname Joy views as a reflection of trust rather than role.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cb>“It actually warms my heart,” Joy shares. “To me, it means they see me not just as a leader who sets direction, but someone who brings comfort, support, and a sense of home to the group.\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">This blend of dedication and leadership naturally extends into her new role as Director for SAT5, the firm’s newly established sector accounting team.

Joy intends to explore stronger, more meaningful ways to support, grow, and retain talent across Scrubbed—drawing heavily on her strengths in project management, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. Her ability to structure work, streamline processes, and address challenges proactively has long been a driver of team success, and she plans to leverage these same capabilities to build a more empowered and engaged workforce.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">This focus on people is paired with a clear strategy for technology and operational efficiency.

As one of the event organizers, she didn’t anticipate the decision would be finalized so soon. “When it was announced, I felt a bit emotional.

To explore this trend, we spoke with \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.2goadvisorygroup.com\u002Fbob-weis\">Robert Weis\u003C\u002Fa>, a seasoned expert in fractional support.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Over 36 years ago, Weis identified a unique need in the market: venture capital-backed companies with accelerated growth expectations required immediate financial guidance, but not necessarily on a full-time basis. This led to the creation of CFOs 2Go™, a partnership providing part-time and interim CFO services tailored to the specialized needs of companies across more 20 industries and stages including high-growth. Today, this concept has expanded into the 2Go Advisory Group, which offers fractional C-suite services across a wide range of functions including CEOs, COOs, CHROs, and CIOs\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Weis shared his thinking about the value of fractional support and why fractional CFOs have become the go-to solution for companies experiencing breakdown or anticipating a breakdown due to a change in business operations including from growth.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What exactly is a Fractional CFO?\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>A fractional CFO is a financial expert who works with a company on a part-time or interim basis, offering financial leadership tailored to the business’s specific needs. This arrangement allows companies to access high-level financial expertise and guidance on demand and without the commitment of a full-time hire. In many cases, this expertise extends into niche areas such as\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Findustries\u002Faccounting-for-real-estate-companies\u002F\"> real estate accounting solutions\u003C\u002Fa>, tax strategies, or financial system implementations.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What are the benefits of engaging with a Fractional CFO?\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The primary value of a fractional CFO lies in their ability to provide strategic business advisory services from a financial perspective. Fractional CFOs typically focus on high-level tasks and delegate routine accounting work, sometimes to other fractional finance and accounting professionals, ensuring clients receive real value from the engagement. This strategic approach is particularly beneficial for companies experiencing rapid growth or navigating complex financial challenges.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There are several benefits to working with a fractional CFO at different points in a company’s lifecycle:\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Affordability\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>Hiring a full-time CFO can be expensive, and for many small to medium-sized businesses, this is not a feasible option. Weis highlights cost flexibility as a key advantage of the model. “With fractional CFOs, the job description can be narrowed and the hours to fulfill reduced to meet affordability goals of different clients. There is even the opportunity to take the billing rate down a little occasionally and take some of the compensation deferred or in stock.,” he says.\u003Cbr>This more adaptable compensation model can be particularly relevant for pre-funded companies or underfunded turnarounds.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Flexibility and Scalability\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>“Not all companies need a full-time person who will come in and work 50- hours a week,” notes Weis. “We can offer somebody that can work an agreed-upon number of hours per day, per week, or per month – whatever they need.”\u003Cbr>Companies can adjust the level of service based on their current needs, and the fractional CFO can scale their involvement to match the company’s growth and evolving financial requirements. The model also offers a lower level of risk when a company is growing quickly or trying to change direction than hiring a full-time CFO.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Access to Specialized Expertise\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>Fractional CFOs, like other fractional finance and accounting experts, bring a wealth of experience from working with various industries and in different financial situations. At CFOs2Go™, Weis oversees 35 partners organized around more than 20 different practice groups for industry sectors or challenges, from Agriculture, Food &amp; Beverage and Consumer Products, to International, Mergers &amp; Acquisition and Crisis Management.\u003Cbr>This diversity allows CFOs2Go™ to provide specialized expertise that might not be available in-house to a company. Whether navigating a financial turnaround, preparing for an IPO, or implementing a new financial system, a fractional CFO can offer targeted skills and insights that drive business success.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>When should companies consider hiring a fractional CFO?\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Knowing when to engage a fractional CFO can make a real difference to your company’s growth trajectory and strategic direction. Some key situations where the expertise of a fractional CFO can help include:\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>During Rapid Growth\u003Cbr>If your company is experiencing rapid growth, a fractional CFO can help manage the financial complexities of expansion. They can assist in scaling operations, securing financing, and ensuring that financial systems and controls are robust enough to support growth.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>During Significant Change\u003Cbr>While fractional CFO services have their roots in early-stage companies, much of the current fractional CFO services are in more established companies that are experiencing changes in their business operations as new products or services, geographic locations, systems, financings or ownership structures.\u003Cbr>For example, in a recent engagement, Weis worked with an established specialty manufacturing company that had grown quickly during a management change. The suddenness of the change revealed some weak internal controls that had resulted in an embezzlement. “We had a fractional CFO go in and implement the necessary improvements”, he says.\u003Cbr>However, the engagement wasn’t just about providing short-term support. The fractional CFO also took on the role of mentor to the company’s CFO, who had a controller skillset, so he could develop the relevant skills of the CFO over time This investment in the current “CFO” tends to produce a very loyal employee.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Financial Turnarounds\u003Cbr>In times of financial distress, a fractional CFO can provide the know-how to stabilize the business. They can develop and implement turnaround strategies, negotiate with creditors, and optimize cash flow to help the company regain its financial footing.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Temporary Gaps in Leadership or Competency\u003Cbr>Sometimes, companies face temporary gaps in their financial leadership due to sudden departures or leaves of absence. At other times, some needed temporary experience may not be available in-house. “Sometimes, specific elements of a CFO’s job description become important or even critical that require outside supplementary help to the current CFO- for example, tax, bank, exchange compliance audits or succession, mergers &amp; acquisition or corporate development They need someone with the expertise and experience to come in and deal with the problem so the business can move on.”\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\">A fractional CFO can fill these gaps, ensuring continuity in financial management and providing the stability needed during transitional periods.

Next comes an assessment where CFOs2Go™ puts a limited number of hours into understanding the client company. “We interview certain people and review their systems and records,” says Weis. “It’s not meant to be definitive; it’s meant to be directional.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For instance, in one scenario, Weis encountered a company where the CFO, an intern-turned-executive with minimal accounting education, struggled to meet financial reporting standards.

Looking ahead, Weis envisions a growing demand for the flexible, high-level financial expertise of fractional CFOs, driven by the increasing complexity of the business environment. ” “We try to match the need to the expertise, he says, and I think that’s only going to become more important to businesses as the marketplace demands become more challenging.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How does the process of engaging a Fractional CFO work?\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>At CFOs2Go™, onboarding prospects typically starts with a conversation with Weis, who then determines the appropriate expert or practice group to refer them to.

Then make sure your training includes a mix of live, hands-on sessions and informative tools your system users can review on their own time. Video tutorials are especially effective because they help you connect with the new system visually and emotionally. It’s also best if the training is facilitated by someone with an accounting background, not an engineer who developed the software.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as your accounting software training should be user-friendly, make sure any system documentation is easy for your team to use.

Pinpointing environmental risks (i.e., extreme weather events, disruption of power supply, calamity damage costs, higher cost for resources, and other events that might affect operations) at the early stage of business development protects investments. It enables a company to plan, implement controls and ensure compliance to avoid financial consequences. Similarly, businesses that can identify environmental opportunities will thrive in this evolving landscape toward sustainability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0;

Identifying the specified goods and services\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>The first step in the evaluation is to identify the “specified” goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. A specified good or service is defined as a distinct good or service (or a distinct bundle of goods or services) to be provided to the customer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>A good or service is capable of being distinct if the customer can benefit (i.e., use, consume, or sell) from that good or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available. This means that the principal-versus-agent evaluation is performed for each performance obligation and not on a per-agreement basis. Accordingly, an entity could be both a principal for certain aspects of a contract and an agent for others.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Typically, identifying the specified good or service is relatively straightforward, especially those involving tangible goods. For example, if an entity resells computers, the specified good that will be transferred to the customer is a computer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>However, the assessment may require significant judgment in other situations, such as those involving intangible goods or services. For example, when the specified good or service is a right to a good or service that another party will provide, the entity should determine whether its obligation is a promise to provide that right (and it is, therefore, a principal) or whether it is arranging for the other party to provide that right (and it is, therefore, an agent).\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>For example, consider a travel website that offers flight vouchers that allow customers to book flights.

Determining whether the entity controls the specified goods or services\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>The second step in the evaluation is to determine whether the entity controls the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. Control is defined as the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, an asset. Control also includes the ability to prevent others from using and obtaining such benefits. The benefits are the potential cash flows that can be obtained by using, selling, or holding the asset.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If the entity concludes that it controls the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer, the entity is a principal in the transaction.

The real challenge lies in the sheer volume of requirements, from annual franchise tax and complex sales tax nexus rules to high-stakes payroll classifications and a confusing patchwork of local ordinances. This measurable complexity earns the state a bottom-tier ranking, placing 48th in the Tax Foundation’s 2025 State Business Tax Climate Index.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To help you navigate the landscape, here are five of the most common California tax and compliance issues businesses encounter.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>1. Annual Franchise Tax\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>One of the first costs many businesses encounter is the $800 Annual Franchise Tax. This is a minimum tax due annually to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB), and it applies to every LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, and LP registered or doing business in California.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The key issue: this tax is due even if your business is pre-revenue, inactive, or operating at a loss. It is not a tax on profit; it’s a fee for the “privilege” of being registered. This often surprises new business owners who assume “no income” means “no tax”. If the payment is msised, penalties and interest may apply, even if the business wasn’t actively operating. his obligation continues until the entity is formally dissolved or cancelled with the Secretary of State, with only limited exceptions for first-year exemptions and the 15-day rule.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>2. Sales &amp; Use Tax Nexus\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The $800 franchise tax is only one requirement. Once you start making sales, sales and use tax  nexus becomes another major area of risk.. Not long ago, “nexus”, the connection that triggers a sales tax obligation, meant having a physical presence, like an office or warehouse.  This is no longer the case.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today, businesses establish nexus in California often without realizing it. The most common trigger is economic nexus: if your business exceeds $500,000 in total sales of tangible personal property to California customers in a calendar year, you may establish nexus. You must register, collect, and remit CA sales tax.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The other trigger is the new definition of “physical presence,” which is often broader than many businesses expect.. You can trigger physical nexus by having a single remote employee in the state, storing inventory in a third-party (like an Amazon FBA) warehouse, or even sending sales staff to a tradeshow.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of the most costly scenarios is crossing the $500,000 threshold and failing to register and collect tax. In many cases, businesses later face uncollected sales tax, penalties, and interest for prior periods.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>3. Worker Classification (AB5) and Payroll Compliance\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Once you’ve navigated sales, the next major hurdle involves your team. California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) is known for strict enforcement around worker classification and payroll compliance, and its primary focus is ensuring workers are correctly classified.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The core risk here is worker misclassification. California’s Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) codified the “ABC test,” which makes it much harder to classify workers as independent contractors. The default assumption is always “employee.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>T\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\">he cost of getting this wrong can be significant.

The rise of remote work has only complicated this. If your company is based in Texas but you hire one marketing specialist in Los Angeles, you are now a California employer.

Business Property Tax (Form 571-L)\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Beyond sales and payroll, businesses also need to account for business personal property reporting. This is one of the most commonly missed filings. This isn’t your real estate tax; it’s Form 571-L, or the Business Property Statement.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is an annual requirement for businesses to report all business personal property (computers, equipment, furniture, machinery) to their county assessor. A common misconception is that fully remote businesses don’t need to file. In many cases, they do — especially if the business owns equipment used by employees working from home. Many businesses are surprised to learn this can apply to equipment as small as company-issued laptops used by employees at home.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>5. Local Business Licenses and Gross Receipts Taxes\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Finally, many businesses overlook local requirements. State-level compliance is only part of the picture.

Some cities also impose additional taxes on top of state and federal requirements..

ASC 740 does not apply franchise taxes on a non-income-based measure (e.g., capital) when there is no additional tax-based income. It further states that franchise taxes on income-based measures should only be included as income tax expense if it exceeds the capital-based tax.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Under the current updates, an entity must first account for the franchise tax or similar tax as a portion of income tax expense and account for any incremental amount as a non-income-based tax portion in pretax income. In addition, entities must record deferred taxes using the statutory income tax rate, and the entity does not need to consider the effect of potentially paying a non-income-based tax in future years when evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets. The update is consistent with the accounting for other incremental taxes.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ci>Step up in tax bases of goodwill\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>When an entity enters a business combination transaction that results in goodwill under ASC 805, amounts presented and recognized for income tax and financial reporting purposes may differ. Under the current guidelines, a deferred tax asset (DTA) is recognized only when the tax basis of goodwill exceeds the book basis of goodwill. However, no recognition of DTL is allowed under ASC 805. If the step up in the tax basis of goodwill relates to the portion of goodwill from a previous business combination for which a DTL was not recognized, then-current guidance prohibits an entity from recognizing a DTA for the increase in tax basis, except up to the extent that the tax-deductible goodwill exceeds the remaining book balance of goodwill. This results in the non-recording of DTA for the step-up based on goodwill unless it would have recorded a deferred tax asset when the business combination had occurred. These principles are also important to understand within the context of nonprofit financial reporting, where proper recognition and compliance with ASC guidelines remain critical despite differing organizational structures.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The update removed the existing guidelines under ASC 740-10-25-54 and requires that an entity determine whether the tax basis step-up transaction relates to a prior business combination in which the book goodwill was initially recognized or to a separate transaction.

These instruments must be revalued to fair value at each reporting date, with all gains or losses hitting the P&amp;L.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>FVOCI (Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income): These are also revalued to fair value at each reporting date. However, the changes typically go to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), bypassing the P&amp;L (except for specific instances like impairment).\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Amortized Cost: These instruments, like a simple loan, are generally not revalued to fair value. The major exception, and a critical trigger, is impairment (see Trigger 4).

By incorrectly treating the entire instrument as amortized cost, the company fails to monitor the fair value of the embedded derivative.

In fact, a Kyriba report revealed that North American and European companies reported a collective $6.80 billion in negative currency impacts (headwinds) in just Q4 2023. A sharp currency devaluation directly impacts the value of any asset or liability denominated in that foreign currency.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Equity Prices: A market crash or a surge in a specific stock price directly and immediately impacts the value of your equity holdings classified at fair value.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Trigger 4: Changes in Credit Risk (Impairment)\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>This is a key trigger for instruments held at Amortized Cost or FVOCI.

This indicates a significant risk of default, particularly if cash reserves and collateral assets are insufficient to cover the debt.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>High Leverage: An increase in debt leverage resulting from excessive borrowing or a declining equity cushion.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These indications trigger an impairment assessment under the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model.

For instance, Scrubbed is currently researching AI tools and technologies that can make the financial reporting close process faster, but Aira says the firm has also tripled the spend on training for the Scrubbed team. “It is never completely technology,” she says. “You will always need a person navigating that.” This applies equally to areas such as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Findustries\u002Faccounting-for-non-profit-organizations\u002F\">nonprofit financial reporting\u003C\u002Fa>, where specialized expertise is still required despite automation.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Outsourcing, meanwhile, offers an immediate way to address talent gaps. Scrubbed’s model—built around providing high-quality, global talent—has helped clients overcome capacity and expertise challenges. “We have global talent that’s available. We’re in the Philippines, and we can do high-level finance services from here,” says Aira. “We have clients that are publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange in Nasdaq. And these are companies that have rigorous requirements from regulators. Yet the work can be done here.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The experience of a firm like Scrubbed is also important. “Some CEOs of startups ask us for help because they don’t know what to do. Because we’ve been in this business for so long, we’ve seen it all,” she says. “it’s a matter of guiding our clients in the compliance requirements they need to do or what they need to do to get their books in order or what kind of analysis they need to be doing, what kind of internal controls they need to be setting up.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Changing Perceptions about Outsourcing\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>William raised the negative stereotype about outsourcing, saying that clients worry that the quality of outsourced work doesn’t match in-house standards. Aira stressed the need to reshape how companies view outsourcing as a model. “It really depends on finding the right partner because, of course, quality will vary, depending on who your provider is. We want our clients to engage with us because they believe they will get quality work from us. Not just because we’re cheaper.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Scrubbed focuses on providing seasoned accounting professionals with excellent customer service and high-quality communication skills. The firm attracts and retains top talent because of a strong employer brand and culture that emphasizes quality, career progression, and training. This commitment also extends to delivering specialized services such as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Fbusinesses\u002Ftechnical-accounting-services\u002F\">technical accounting support\u003C\u002Fa>, ensuring clients receive expert guidance on complex financial matters and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Fbusinesses\u002Frisk-advisory\u002F\">risk and SOX compliance\u003C\u002Fa> requirements. “That’s why our attrition rate is far below industry averages,” Aira says.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Looking Ahead\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Aira highlighted three key areas that businesses should be focusing on:\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Build a strong employer brand\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Recruiting and retaining top talent in a tight market can depend on how attractive your firm is to potential employees.

That’s not enough anymore,” Aira says. Accountants and finance professionals now need to know how to work with tools like Python and other advanced data analytics software to manage large datasets efficiently and effectively.\u003Cbr>Artificial intelligence is also playing an increasingly important role. Smart firms will use AI to automate processes like coding invoices to the correct expense categories, leaving more time for their accounting team to focus on strategic analysis and forecasting. Shifting from manual tasks to higher-level strategic work means offering tech training will be more critical than ever.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Be aware of ESG and compliance trends\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>New and more complex reporting standards are being developed and put into effect, especially around ESG. Scrubbed is developing an AI-driven ESG platform to assist clients, but Aira notes, “This is something CFOs need to learn and comply with, and there are new standards coming out that companies in the US and the UK will need to comply with.”\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Partnering for Success\n\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The talent shortage is a significant issue, but it’s not insurmountable. One solution is for businesses to form strategic partnerships with professional firms like Scrubbed, which can provide the accounting and finance expertise and capacity they need. “When you have teamwork between in-house, professionals and outsourced professionals, you can come up with amazing output and provide value for your company,” says Aira. “We’ve been doing that for more than a decade, and we’ve helped many clients solve their capacity and technical advisory issues.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Listen to the podcast.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If your business is facing similar challenges, consider reaching out to explore how outsourcing can help you bridge the gap and unlock new opportunities.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Fpodcast\u002Fbridging-the-talent-gap-how-global-professional-firms-are-solving-the-talent-shortage\u002F\">Listen to the Podcast: Beehive\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":91,"type":92,"name":93,"data":3948},{"items":3949},[3950],{"url":97,"title":3951,"alt":3951,"description":3952,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"Request an M&A Consultation","\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Scrubbed’s Technical Accounting and Corporate Finance professionals provide expert guidance throughout the merger and acquisition process.

This allows taxpayers whose PPP loans are forgiven to deduct the expenses relating to their loans, provided that these qualify as ordinary and necessary business expenses.

Make sure the new provider you choose has a solid reputation for quality work, is staffed with professionals experienced in handling business taxes, has strong credentials (including many CPAs on staff), and has the capacity to take on new work.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Know what you’re contracting for. Some tax services providers can only prepare your returns and don’t offer \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Ffor-business\u002Ftax-compliance-and-advisory\">tax advisory and consulting services\u003C\u002Fa>—which means you could be missing out on opportunities to reduce your tax liability. Others quote a flat rate for tax preparation, then add on surprise charges later. Make sure you’re clear on what you’re paying for and what tax services you’ll have access to.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Think beyond the short term. The immediate need to file your 2021 tax return may be your top priority, but when you evaluate new providers it’s best to think about your long-term needs, too. For example, if you plan to outsource your accounting to augment your in-house capabilities or gain expertise you don’t have on staff, consider choosing a provider that offers a\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Ffor-business\u002Fbookkeeping-and-accounting\u002F\"> comprehensive suite of accounting and finance services\u003C\u002Fa>, not just routine tax filing help. You’ll enjoy a more streamlined, efficient approach that enables you and your team to spend more time focusing on the business.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Be prepared to do your part. Whenever you work with a new accounting partner, there is a ramp-up period while they gather all the information and documents they need (such as past year tax returns, supporting forms\u002Fschedules, financial statements, and incorporation documents) and ask questions to get up to speed on your business. Organizing your files well is a great way to streamline this process! The more responsive you are during the transition period, the better equipped your partner will be to file your 2021 taxes accurately and in a timely way.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Consider that filing an extension may be best. When you switch tax preparation providers during tax season, the best way to avoid penalties and interest may be to file an extension, which your new provider can do for you. Keep in mind that the extension only gains you more time to file; you must still pay your 2021 tax liability by the original filing date. (Your filing deadline will depend on how your business is structured, whether as an LLC, S corporation, or C corporation.)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Determine if your previous tax preparer is open to questions. Sometimes it’s helpful for your new tax partner to understand your previous provider’s rationale for handling things in a certain way on past returns. If you end the relationship on good terms, putting the two providers in touch with each other may prove beneficial.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Taxes are one area of your business where you can’t afford mistakes or surprises. Even if you’re facing an upcoming tax deadline, it’s better to switch to a tax services partner you’re confident has the knowledge and expertise you need rather than risk delays or unnecessary costs.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Hundreds of businesses like yours trust their tax preparation—and more—to the accounting and finance experts at Scrubbed.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Our \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fscrubbed.net\u002Fabout-us\">highly qualified team\u003C\u002Fa> —which includes many CPAs, IRS annual filing season program participants, and an IRS enrolled agent—is well-versed in continually changing tax laws, experienced working with business in a range of industries, and especially knowledgeable about the unique tax obligations of healthcare, real estate, retail, biotech, consumer products, manufacturing and distribution, nonprofit financial reporting, and financial institutions.

It will also depend on the financing type, e.g., sale and leaseback, partnership flip, or inverted lease because each financing arrangement comes with its own set of rights, priorities, and expectations. The waterfall structure is designed to allocate funds or returns in a manner that reflects these factors and meets the requirements and preferences of the various stakeholders involved.

A DSCR greater than 1 indicates that the company generates sufficient income to cover its debt payments, while a DSCR less than 1 suggests that the company may face challenges meeting its debt obligations.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lenders and investors often use the DSCR as a key financial indicator to assess the creditworthiness of and risk associated with financing a company.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>7.

They're looking for information that provides real visibility into your company's potential for growth. So, along with your financial statements, you'll need to consistently emphasize key SaaS metrics, align with market standards like GAAP or IFRS, and tell your compelling growth story. Investor sentiment in SaaS has shifted toward favoring longer-term profitability over rapid growth, so there is greater interest in understanding your gross margin efficiency and cost control. This desire to see more sustainable profitability is reflected in the increasing importance for investors of Net Dollar Retention (NDR), which measures a company's ability to upsell, cross-sell, and retain customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">This shifting focus also means reporting expansion revenue separately is becoming the industry standard. Investors are also showing interest in the way your SaaS company leverages AI and ML or focuses on niche markets. They're looking for financial reports that break down revenue by product lines or markets to more easily differentiate between competing SaaS companies. ESG ( Environmental, Social, Governance) readiness has also started to factor into investor decisions, along with clear reporting around data privacy in the context of SOC 2 and GDPR compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Key Metrics Investors Prioritize\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">To stand out, your financial reports must highlight the core SaaS metrics that provide the insight that investors care about right now:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fd1775610-9d8e-4f93-a80c-a70d6823a11c.webp\" alt=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fd1775610-9d8e-4f93-a80c-a70d6823a11c-mobile.webp 480w, https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fd1775610-9d8e-4f93-a80c-a70d6823a11c-tablet.webp 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fd1775610-9d8e-4f93-a80c-a70d6823a11c-desktop.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 768px) 768px, 1200px\">\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F478c7ab9-a29e-4dcf-9b95-23323ecd2bc2.webp\" alt=\"2\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F478c7ab9-a29e-4dcf-9b95-23323ecd2bc2-mobile.webp 480w, https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F478c7ab9-a29e-4dcf-9b95-23323ecd2bc2-tablet.webp 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F478c7ab9-a29e-4dcf-9b95-23323ecd2bc2-desktop.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 768px) 768px, 1200px\">\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Ch2>Avoid Common Reporting Pitfalls\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Based on our experience, the most common mistakes that can trip up SaaS companies when you're pulling together financial reports for investors include:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Improper Revenue Recognition (ASC 606 Non-Compliance): \u003C\u002Fb>Failing to properly recognize revenue around subscriptions, upgrades, and renewals can mean that you need to make significant adjustments during due diligence.

If you don’t have a relatively blank wall to position yourself in front of, use a stock background that is unobtrusive and won’t distract attention from you and your presentation.

The partnership allowed BryMar’s senior team members to stop helping out on the day-to-day work and focus on high-level strategic tasks, improving efficiency and service quality.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As well as bringing on third-party help as needed, it’s a good idea to invest in professional development, mentorship programs, and flexible work arrangements that can help attract and retain top-tier full-time talent.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Embrace a Strategic Approach to Outsourcing\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>If you choose to work with outsourced accounting partners, you will get better results if you treat them as a strategic partner. Encourage them to understand your firm’s vision and growth plans so that they can support your long-term objectives. An experienced partner who takes ownership and accountability for your firm’s success, especially one offering specialized real estate accounting solutions will be better able to make suggestions for new opportunities or ways to streamline your processes.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>One of Scrubbed’s clients, Kevin O’Connell from Baker Tilly, emphasizes the importance of this approach: “We don’t want to work with a faceless organization; we want to work with a real partner who understands our needs and how we intend to grow so they can help us with that vision and goal.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Boost Your Marketing and Business Development\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Most firms still rely heavily on referrals, but to grow, you’ll need a strong marketing presence. A content-driven marketing strategy that includes blog posts, webinars, and thought leadership pieces can help position your firm as an industry expert. Targeted outreach and email campaigns can help nurture prospects and convert leads into long-term clients. The key is consistency and repetition, getting your firm’s name in front of prospective clients and their advisors on a regular basis.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Pay Attention to Client Experience and Retention\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Happy clients drive referrals and long-term growth. To improve your client satisfaction and strengthen relationships, try more proactive communication, value-added reporting, or add-ons like annual business reviews. Incorporate client feedback loops—such as NPS and satisfaction surveys—into your strategy to continually refine your services. A well-defined client onboarding process can also set the tone for a successful long-term partnership.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>BryMar CPAs and Advisors took this approach and found that by delegating routine tasks to Scrubbed, their team had more time to provide the strategic advisory services that their clients valued.

Budgeting looks different for every organization, but you might like to start with a ready-made template. This will provide a solid foundation you can edit and adapt to meet your needs. Be sure to include all your main revenue sources and basic expenses like personnel costs, office expenses, and travel.

Look for past patterns and trends that give you an idea of what to expect moving forward. This information can help you make accurate projections and prepare yourself for any unexpected bumps in the road. For example, if you notice that a certain expense has been increasing over the past few years, you can anticipate that it will continue to do so in the future and plan accordingly.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Forecasting is also great for identifying and mitigating risks. By projecting future costs and income, you can get a sense of potential financial risks and take steps to address them before they become a problem. For example, if your forecast suggests that revenue will be lower than anticipated, you can take action to increase fundraising or reduce expenses. Or, if you expect that a specific fee will be higher than usual, you can plan to minimize that expense or find additional sources of income.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Forecasting can be a bit of a tricky process, but it’s well worth the effort.

Be thoughtful in developing the grant budget.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>How you craft the budget in a grant proposal can impact how easy (or difficult) it is to track your expenses later, in alignment with the budget. For example, if your budget itemizes expenditures in a way that your accounting system doesn’t allow you to track easily, you’ll end up doing time-consuming, error-prone manual work when it’s time to report on your grant spending.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>2. Keep your documentation organized.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Your biotech company must be able to demonstrate that you’re staying within the grant budget and substantiate that the expenses you record against the grant are bona fide program expenditures. That demands good recordkeeping policies and procedures.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of the most important recordkeeping procedures is to keep all supporting documents associated with your grant expenses—such as invoices for lab supplies and materials, research consulting services, or other professional fees—properly stored within your accounting software. Get your staff into the habit of adding the invoice to your accounting system as soon as the expense is incurred, to avoid problems like losing invoices and having to request another copy as proof of a valid expense. Without the proper documentation, you could face delays in drawing down funds as you need them, putting your cash flow (and your operations) at risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>3. Ensure your staff tracks their time as they go.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Grant funders require every employee who works on the funded program to track their time against it accurately—whether they’re directly engaged in research or involved in other functions—to understand how much of your payroll is being allocated to their program. If you have team members working on multiple grants, it becomes more challenging for them to track their time against each task and program correctly.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the most accurate records, you should require your team to track their hours in real-time, using automated systems that make it easy to comply with this requirement. If employees try to recreate their time records later, the information is likely to be less accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>4. Position yourself for timely drawdowns.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Each grant will specify how often your biotech can draw funds against the grant amount you’ve been awarded. Whether it’s quarterly or more frequently, you want to ensure you can draw down funds when you’re eligible to, so you can maintain the cash flow needed to keep operating smoothly. If you don’t keep complete and accurate expense records or if you miss key reporting deadlines, you could put your next tranche of funds in jeopardy.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Robust policies and procedures ensure you can draw down the funds you need according to the grant contract, maintaining your cash flow. Strict policies on timesheet completion, expense tracking and allocation, and budget tracking all put you in the best position to make drawdowns on a timely basis. Likewise, tracking all grant-related deadlines in a central location greatly reduces the risk you’ll miss a key date that could put your next drawdown at risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>5. Keep your systems and procedures simple.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Your funder needs evidence that you’re using their funds in accordance with the grant. And you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re meeting their requirements and can draw down funds when you need them. You can accomplish both goals with tracking systems and procedures that are simple and streamlined.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A cloud-based accounting system is easily configured to track grant-related expenses and meet your funder’s reporting requirements. Compared to the time-consuming, error-prone process of tracking time and expenses manually on spreadsheets, a properly configured automated system streamlines your team’s work and ensures it doesn’t become burdensome to comply with grant requirements.

Improve your odds of receiving future grants.\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Many biotechs find that the best sources for future grants are the funders already providing the business with capital. To position yourself to secure more grants from your current funders, you need to give them confidence in your ability to deliver timely, correct, complete information.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of the best ways to improve their peace of mind is to ensure they can count on the accuracy of your records and reports.

Though it may sound straightforward, obtaining the reorganization value requires extensive arms-length negotiations among various parties.

Companies typically use the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to arrive at the fair value, as it is the most commonly used valuation method (although methods such as acquired cost or book value, appraised or replacement cost, multiples of revenue or turnover, projected cash flow, and earnings capitalization also may be used).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>The DCF approach discounts the business’s projected cash flows to present at a rate equal to the cost of capital.

The reorganization value would be the total of the two, or $1.5 million. However, businesses emerging from bankruptcy also should evaluate other considerations, such as environmental liabilities, deferred taxes, and estimated cash balances, to arrive at an appropriately reconciled reorganization value.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>A Closer Look at the Loss of Control Test\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>Fresh-start reporting includes considering the percentage of shares held by a shareholder before and after bankruptcy emergence.

As a response to combat the economic collapse of so many American businesses, the Federal Government has introduced and enacted multiple financial programs under the CARES Act, such as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Employee Retention Credit, Payroll Tax Postponement, and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan. Although these financial programs helped many small and medium-sized entities, the need for such companies to obtain financing amidst the prolonged economic injury brought about by the Pandemic is immense.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Recently, the Federal Reserve announced a new program — the Main Street Lending Program — that could be a small business owners’ next best option.

In addition, the new program is being offered through the Federal Reserve rather than the SBA and was originally aimed at large and mid-size businesses. The Federal Reserve will participate in the lending by purchasing a 95% interest in the loan and the lender retains the remaining portion of the loan.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>This program could be helpful to accounting firm clients who have encountered frustration with the PPP and its ever-evolving rules, in spite of the fact that it has already undergone a number of changes since it was first announced, including expanded eligibility for smaller businesses.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>What is the Main Street Lending Program?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Main Street Lending Program is designed to provide support to small and medium-sized businesses and their employees across the United States during the current period of financial strain by supporting the provision of credit to such businesses. The availability of additional credit is intended to help companies that were in sound financial condition, prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, to maintain their operations and payroll until conditions normalize. As compared to PPP, Main Street loans are full-recourse loans and are not forgivable but offer small businesses a way to get access to money to maintain payroll and keep employees on board their companies.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>To implement the Program, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston has set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to purchase participations in loans originated by eligible lenders.

The main criticism of the previous lease guidance is that it did not always provide a faithful representation of leasing transactions. The main objective of ASC 842 is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This gives the users a comprehensive and understandable picture of the company’s leasing activities.

A lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset to a lessee for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (2) the right to direct the use of the asset.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Whether a contract is or contains a lease is critical under ASC 842 because lessees are required to recognize ROU assets and liabilities for essentially all leases.

ASC 842 provided for the application of dual lease model – operating lease and finance lease (either direct financing or sales-type lease for lessor). Under ASC 842, a lessee shall classify a lease as a finance lease, and a lessor shall classify a lease as a sales-type lease when the lease meets any of the following requirements:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. However, suppose the commencement date falls at or near the end of the underlying asset’s economic life. In that case, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The four criteria to determine the lease classification generally remain from ASC 840, with the addition of the 5th requirement above. Notice that the bright lines related to the concept of “the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset” and “lease payments representing substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset” are now removed under ASC 842, which will entail a higher level of judgment from the management. Despite the removal of the bright lines, ASC 842 acknowledges that one reasonable approach in determining whether the lease term is for the major part of the asset’s remaining economic life and whether the lease payments represent substantially all of the asset’s fair value are the 75% and 90% thresholds, respectively, cited in ASC 840.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Initial direct costs.\u003C\u002Fb> Initial direct costs are broader in scope under the old standard. In ASC 842, initial direct costs only include incremental costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. Costs incurred such as legal fees, cost of negotiating the lease terms, and allocated costs that are capitalizable under ASC 840 will now be expensed under the new standard.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Components.\u003C\u002Fb> Under ASC 840, executory costs such as insurance, taxes and maintenance are included in minimum lease payments and, consequently, in the lease calculations. In lieu of executory costs, ASC 842 introduced new concepts – lease components, non-lease components, and non-components. Generally, lease consideration is allocated between the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone price basis. While non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) transfer goods and services to the lessees, they do not relate to securing the use of the leased asset. Consideration attributable to non-lease components is not a lease payment and, therefore, is not included in the measurement of ROU asset or lease liability. Companies should account for non-lease components according to other applicable standards unless the company elects the accounting policy to not separate lease and non-lease components. This accounting policy is further discussed in this article.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Activities that do not transfer a good or service to the lessee or amounts paid solely to reimburse costs of the lessor are called non-components and are not allocated any of the considerations in the contract and are usually expensed as incurred. Under ASC 842, executory costs are considered non-components of a lease contract; hence will not qualify for capitalization and are immediately expensed as incurred.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Discount rate.\u003C\u002Fb> Both lessors and lessees should use the rate implicit in the lease when discounting lease payments. However, if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be reliably determined, lessees should use its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). In most cases, lessees use its IBR in its calculation. The disparity arises as IBR is defined differently in both standards. ASC 840, it defines IBR as “the rate that, at lease inception, the lessee would have incurred to borrow over a similar term the funds necessary to purchase the leased asset.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>On the other hand, ASC 842 defines it as “the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.” This means that the determination of IBR warrants additional effort as companies would typically need to have a specific quotation from a bank or other financial institutions instead of using the treasury discount rates. Practical expedient related to discount rate is discussed further in this article.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Lessee accounting.\u003C\u002Fb> Perhaps the biggest change we should expect is the recognition of the ROU asset representing the company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability for essentially all leases. It can be recalled that under the previous lease standard, ROU asset and lease liability was not required to be recognized for operating leases, but rather lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. ROU asset is amortized on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis is applicable, over the useful life of the underlying asset or lease term, whichever is shorter. Interest expense and amortization expense cannot be combined in the same line item and should be presented in a manner consistent with how companies present other interest expense and depreciation and amortization of similar assets, respectively.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>For an operating lease, companies will recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. This straight-line lease expense is done by dividing the total lease payments over the lease term. Amortization of ROU asset is calculated as the difference between the straight-line lease expense and interest expense on the lease liability. Bear in mind that we only compute amortization and interest expense for subsequent measurement of ROU asset and a lease liability, respectively. The straight-line lease expense calculated above is the one recorded in the books.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Lessor accounting.\u003C\u002Fb> The fundamentals of lessor accounting under the old standard remain practically the same.

The fourth classification, leveraged lease, is eliminated prospectively in ASC 842. Lessors use the same criteria as the finance lease classification for lessees. If at least one of the criteria is met, lessors classify the lease as a sales-type lease. If none is met, the lease is classified as an operating lease unless the lessor obtains a residual value guarantee from an unrelated third party other than the lessee and the guarantee is sufficient to satisfy the “substantially all” criterion (as discussed in the lessee accounting section), in which it should be classified as a direct financing lease.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In a sales-type lease, selling profit or loss is recognized depending on the collectability of the lease payments and residual guarantee provided by the lessee, unlike in the old standard where there is a requirement to recognize selling profit or loss. Another improvement in the new standard is that selling profit or loss could now be recognized for direct financing lease.

Under ASC 842, the land is required to be classified and accounted for as a separate lease component unless the accounting effect of not separately accounting it is insignificant. Under ASC 840, the land is separately classified for the purposes of applying the lease-term criterion when the fair value of the land is 25% or more of the combined fair value of the land and building.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Disclosures.\u003C\u002Fb> ASC 842 requires significantly more extensive qualitative and quantitative requirements, including the nature of the lease, significant assumptions and judgments made and amounts recognized related to the leases, as opposed to a general disclosure of the leasing arrangement under the old standard.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3>Optional Relief\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv>ASC 842 provides numerous practical expedients and available policy election options to lead the companies into an easier transition to the new standard and reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new standard.

This expedient is available for transition only. Companies must apply all of the expedients in the package to all leases.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Hindsight practical expedient – Permits lessees to use hindsight in determining the lease term (i.e., when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing the impairment of ROU asset. This expedient is available during transition only and must be applied to all leases. On the other hand, accounting policy election options available are as follows:\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Short-term lease – Permits lessees not to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of ASC 842 for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Note that the 12 months threshold counts from the lease commencement date and not the effective date of the new standard.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Risk-free-rate – Permits private company lessees to use a risk-free rate as the discount rate for the lease, determined using a period comparable with that of the lease term. Public companies are not permitted to use the risk-free rate.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Lessee policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components – Lessees may elect not to separate lease from non-lease components and instead account both components together as a single lease component. This means that all of the consideration is allocated to the single lease component.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Lessor policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components – This allows the lessors to not separate lease from non-lease component if and only if (a) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease component are the same and (b) the lease would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. If the lease component is the predominant component, the combined component (lease and non-lease component) is accounted as an operating lease under ASC 842; otherwise, it is accounted for under ASC 606.

Handing these responsibilities to an outsourcing partner can free your internal team to focus on higher-value work and reduce the day-to-day pressure that often leads to burnout.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In the middle of the spectrum are specialized but repeatable tasks that require technical knowledge but not necessarily your internal team’s direct involvement with clients. Examples include tax preparation, audit support, and certain areas of financial reporting. When outsourced to professionals with the right expertise, these functions can be completed with accuracy and efficiency while still aligning with your firm’s quality standards.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>On the other end of the spectrum are the tasks that should almost always remain with your in-house team. These are the functions that directly impact client trust, shape strategic decision-making, or define your firm’s reputation—advisory services, consultative planning, and client relationship management. Keeping these responsibilities internal ensures that your firm maintains its distinctive voice and strengthens the personal connections that clients value most.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>#3. How Much Control and Visibility Do We Need?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Deciding what to outsource naturally raises another question: how closely do you want to oversee that work? For some firms, outsourcing only works if they maintain detailed visibility into every step. Meanwhile, others are comfortable shifting all the execution to external professionals and focusing only on review and strategy.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>When considering outsourcing, think about your comfort level with reporting, approvals, and communication. Do you need daily updates and real-time dashboards, or is a weekly check-in enough? Being clear about your expectations will help you choose an outsourcing model that provides the right level of transparency for your team.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>#4. How Does Outsourcing Fit Into Our Growth Strategy?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing should also align with where you want to take your firm tomorrow. When done right, it can become a crucial part of a firm’s long-term growth strategy. That means asking yourself how outsourcing aligns with where you want to take your firm in the next three to five years.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If your goal is rapid growth, outsourcing can add immediate capacity without the delays of recruiting and training. If you want to expand into new services like outsourced CFO support, shifting routine tasks externally can free your most experienced people to develop those offerings.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Even if your firm isn’t pursuing aggressive expansion, outsourcing can still play an important role. By streamlining routine work and reducing internal bottlenecks, it creates a leaner, more efficient operation that improves margins and client satisfaction. In these cases, the benefits may be more incremental than transformational, but they still contribute to a stronger, more resilient practice.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Either way, linking outsourcing to your long-term goals ensures it becomes a growth driver rather than just a short-term fix.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>#5. Are We Ready to Manage Change Internally?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing doesn’t just change how work gets done—it changes how your firm operates. For some firms, it means taking routine tasks off the plates of overextended staff. For others, it involves replacing certain roles entirely so resources can be redirected toward more strategic priorities. Either way, success depends on how well you prepare your team and manage the transition.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Clear, transparent communication is essential. Staff need to understand why the decision is being made, how their responsibilities may shift, and what opportunities outsourcing will create for the firm. Positioning the change around long-term goals—whether that’s growth, efficiency, or freeing capacity for higher-value work—helps reduce resistance and build buy-in.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>With that in mind, leadership also needs to commit time to onboarding the outsourcing partner and adjusting processes as needed. Firms that treat outsourcing as a partnership, and not just a one-time transaction, tend to see the best results.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>#6. What Budget Are We Comfortable Allocating?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing isn’t just a staffing decision; it’s also a financial one. While outsourced teams are often more cost-effective compared to hiring full-time staff, it still requires careful planning. Think about what you’re currently spending on accounting functions and how that compares to outsourcing options. Are you prepared to reinvest any savings into growth initiatives like technology, marketing, or new hires?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Having a budget framework in place helps you avoid surprises and keeps expectations realistic.

mainly as a way to cut costs. Firms that outsourced their audit work were often perceived as simply trying to find “cheaper” ways to get the work done. For smaller firms, this alone can make a real difference in profitability. In fact, in Deloitte’s 2020 Global Outsourcing Survey, cost savings was cited as the main reason 70% of businesses chose to outsource.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>But that’s no longer the full story. According to Deloitte’s latest survey, only 34% of businesses pointed to cost reduction as their primary driver, while 42% emphasized access to talent as their main reason.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In other words, outsourcing isn’t just about saving money anymore. It’s about positioning a firm for growth and long-term success. Read on as we explore the top reasons to outsource your audit functions and how Scrubbed can help you maximize these benefits:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>1. Improved Scalability\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>One of the biggest challenges for CPA firms is managing workload spikes during busy season. Hiring and training new staff takes time, and most firms can’t justify carrying that extra cost once demand tapers off. This challenge is further compounded by a shrinking pipeline of new talent. According to the AICPA, the number of accounting graduates has dropped nearly 17% over the past decade, with bachelor’s degrees in accounting falling 7.8% and master’s degrees declining 6.4% in the 2021–22 academic year alone.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing solves this by giving firms instant access to experienced professionals who can step in and contribute right away. Instead of turning down work or pushing existing teams too thin, firms can confidently take on more clients and larger engagements.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>This scalability is especially valuable when deadlines are tight. Picture a firm facing three major audits all due within the same month. Without extra support, even the strongest team could quickly become overwhelmed. Outsourcing ensures deadlines are met without overworking employees or sacrificing quality.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>2. Increased Focus on Core Business Operations\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Partners and senior auditors are some of a firm’s most valuable assets. Yet too often, they get pulled into routine work that doesn’t require their level of expertise. When outsourcing is used strategically, firms can delegate lower-level audit procedures to external teams while keeping higher-value work in-house. This means partners and seniors can spend more time on more strategic tasks like analysis, review work, problem-solving, client communication and advisory services.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>For example, instead of vouching support documents, handling confirmations or preparing tie-outs, a senior can focus on analyzing financial statements and advising a client on future strategy. This helps improve efficiency and strengthen client relationships by ensuring they have access to the firm’s top talent when needed.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>3. Flexibility During Off-Peak Periods\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Audit demand is rarely steady; it usually peaks during tax season, slows down in the summer, and then spikes again at year-end. Because of this, firms that hire to prepare for peak season risk being overstaffed during the slower months, or worse, unprepared when specialized expertise is needed.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>At the same time, firms are under increasing pressure to expand into higher-value advisory services, while still meeting their audit obligations. Balancing both priorities with limited resources can strain even the strongest teams.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>By outsourcing, you have the flexibility to match your resources with the current demand. You can easily scale up when you need more support during the busy season, and just as easily scale back when workloads ease without the cost and burden of underutilized staff.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>This flexible staffing model also works well for special audit engagements that require specific knowledge, such as:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Single audits for organizations receiving federal funds\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>ERISA and 401(k) plan audits with complex compliance requirements\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Nonprofit audits with unique reporting standards\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Government audits with additional regulatory requirements\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Instead of turning these opportunities down when you lack the specialists for the job, you can simply bring in outsourced expertise as needed.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>4. Ability to Offload Repetitive Administrative Tasks\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Some of the most common bottlenecks in audit engagements don’t come from the technical work at all. Instead, they come from time-consuming but necessary tasks like collecting prepared-by-client (PBC) documents, sending confirmations, or performing tie-outs. While these tasks are essential, they don’t necessarily require senior-level expertise. By outsourcing this type of work, firms can shorten timelines and avoid the bottlenecks that can frustrate both staff and clients.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The benefits of outsourcing also go beyond efficiency. Retention has become a major challenge for firms, especially when staff feel overworked or stuck doing repetitive, low-value tasks. In fact, finance and accounting teams face the highest burnout rates by far across different industries. When talented professionals spend too much time on this type of work, they are more likely to burn out or leave the profession altogether.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing helps reduce that risk by shifting administrative tasks away from internal teams, allowing them to focus on higher-value responsibilities like analysis, problem-solving, and client communication. In the long run, offloading repetitive work supports both stronger retention and a healthier, more motivated team.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>5. Higher Quality Output\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing audit work to the experts means it will be managed by professionals whose core expertise is auditing, bringing with them the proven processes, advanced tools, and deep knowledge that result in accurate and timely deliverables.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Around 66% of internal audit teams report that their current skills don’t fully align with business priorities, which can lead to missed opportunities and delays. Firms are turning to outsourced specialists to bridge this gap and meet client demands, with 74% of leaders already utilizing external support for their finance functions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>6. Measurable Results\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing doesn’t just sound good in theory, it can also deliver measurable results in practice.

But, this concept remains a vision up to the present day. • Advancements today are driven by Machine Learning, the ability to learn without explicit programming, with a subset known as Deep Learning, from which Facial Recognition has emerged. • The AI concept, specifically the Neural Network, was proposed in 1957, but it has only recently gained significant attention due to the following factors:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The abundance of BIG DATA (e.g., Wikipedia, YouTube, Kaggle)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The availability of powerful Hardware (e.g., Colab, GEFORCE RTX)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The development of software frameworks aimed at accelerating research (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• In the realms of finance and business, Machine Learning removes the need for entering formulas and highly specific instructions into Excel. Instead, it utilizes data to enable machines to discover these instructions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• As famously stated by Andrej Karparthy (Director, OpenAI), “The hottest programming language is English.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• AI proves highly useful, yet it possesses limitations. Currently, Large Language Models (LLM) like GPT-3, which are trained to understand human-like language can only deduce rules when fed with data, and the complexity of the underlying reality of the language makes it challenging to capture.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• Large-scale deep learning’s environmental sustainability is questionable due to its carbon footprint from training. However, ongoing efforts aim to make AI more environmentally friendly and even utilize it to help solve climate and sustainability-related problems.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• Algorithmic racism is a potential concern in AI systems resulting from bias from data inputs and due to their black-box nature, preventing them from explaining the reasons behind their outputs.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• While tools are available to identify content plagiarism or AI-generated articles, this gap is likely to narrow as AI continues to advance.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>• When dealing with Scrubbed or any confidential data, it’s essential to review the terms and conditions of the product (e.g., ChatGPT).

It was a pivotal moment of reflection and forward-thinking, laying the foundation for a stronger, more aligned organization prepared to continue raising the bar in client service.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>A Shift in Focus: From Strategy to Leadership Development\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Unlike previous years, where discussions centered heavily on strategies and action plans, this year’s summit marked a significant evolution. The focus was squarely on equipping our managers, senior managers, and directors with the tools and perspectives they need to excel as leaders. This shift to a leadership development-centric summit directly reflects one of Scrubbed’s aspirations: developing inspirational leaders within the organization for the next generation.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In line with our Core Values—Integrity, Excellence, Empathy, and Openness—we embraced change, recognizing the importance of adapting to the evolving needs of our professionals and clients. This year’s theme, “Embracing Change, Excellence from Within,” resonated throughout the event, inspiring our professionals to embrace adaptability and strive for leadership growth. The origami crane, symbolizing resilience and transformation, beautifully captured this theme. Just as origami folds create a masterpiece, the experiences and challenges we encounter shape us into better leaders, enabling us to soar higher through internal transformation.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>A Leadership Summit Designed for Impact\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>The summit featured three distinct yet complementary days. Day one set the tone with impactful keynote speeches from Gani and Mark. Gani welcomed participants with reflections on the significance of the venue, La Union, aptly named for its symbolism of unity—a value integral to Scrubbed’s culture. He emphasized the inevitability of change, urging leaders to embrace it not passively but actively, with excellence as a guiding principle.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>“We shouldn’t be tired of the word change,” Gani remarked. “Our organization is evolving every year, and within that change lies the excellence we must harness.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Mark followed with an invitation to approach the summit with fresh perspectives. He encouraged participants to challenge the status quo, question assumptions, and explore new possibilities. “This exercise is about starting with a clean slate,” he said. “Ask questions. Leave no stone unturned.” These insights underscored the importance of balancing introspection with action, challenging leaders to align personal growth with organizational goals.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The day also focused on company performance updates, with key presentations shedding light on achievements and areas for improvement.

These workshops were carefully designed to foster collaboration and encourage open dialogue. With smaller groups of no more than 25 participants per session, managers had the opportunity to share their insights, raise questions, and exchange best practices in a more intimate and focused setting. This format was a refreshing departure from the larger, more lecture-style sessions of the past.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As Kevin Dunglao (Senior Manager of Marketing Team) noted, “If the change in the format of this year’s summit is a taste of the mindset we’ll have for 2025, I’m confident that Scrubbed will be able to turn any change into something better.” This feedback reaffirms our direction and readiness to embrace transformation.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Day three offered a refreshing change of pace, serving as a free day for us to relax, bond, and connect on a more personal level. Against the stunning backdrop of La Union’s coastline, with the gentle Amihan winds setting the tone, colleagues shared stories, built stronger relationships, and fostered a sense of camaraderie that extended beyond professional roles.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Scrubbed’s core value that stood out most during the summit was openness. The environment cultivated a culture where everyone felt empowered to share their ideas, insights, and challenges. This openness is essential not only for fostering collaboration among teams but also for driving innovation and continuous improvement.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The summit also reminded us of the strength of our shared aspirations.

As we move into the new year, we are equipped to implement the insights and skills gained, both in our teams and in our interactions with clients. We are confident that this renewed focus on leadership excellence will translate into improved processes, stronger collaborations, and an elevated standard of service.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Looking forward, we plan to build on the success of this summit.

The core principle is that a seller should recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of a good or service in an amount the seller expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

If the relationship is solely based on a collaboration arrangement as governed by ASC 808, it’s straightforward. However, some contracts stipulate that once a finished product is developed, it will be sold to one of the collaborators for commercial distribution. ASC 606 requires a careful assessment of such agreements, which may be considered vendor-customer relationships. Once it’s determined that a contract falls into this category, it should be accounted for under the revenue standard.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Medical device sales and arrangements\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Most entities selling medical devices and equipment also grant customers the right to use these devices for a specific period (i.e., a lease) and offer the option to purchase auxiliaries and consumables required for their operation. ASC 606 mandates that entities initially determine whether these agreements qualify as leases, falling under the scope of ASC 842, Leases.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If the contract contains a lease, ASC 606 requires the entity to identify and separate lease and non-lease components based on their standalone selling prices. The entity should then apply the rules and principles of ASC 842 to the lease component and ASC 606 to the non-lease component. If the arrangement doesn’t meet the definition of a lease, and no other standard is directly applicable, the entire contract would be accounted for using the revenue standard.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Identifying separate performance obligations\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Contracts in the life sciences industry often include multiple promised goods or services, such as intellectual property licenses, contract research services, and contract manufacturing services. Identifying all promises and assessing whether they qualify as performance obligations is critical to properly applying the revenue standard. However, the identification process can be complex, especially when certain promises are not explicitly stated in the contract. For instance, some goods or services accompanying the sale of medical equipment, such as training or consumable supplies, may not be explicitly stated in the contract, instead being part of an entity’s customary business practices, Administrative activities to fulfill the contract, such as medical equipment setup, do not transfer a good or service to the customer and, therefore, are not considered performance obligations. In addition, promises that are considered immaterial in the context of the contract may be disregarded.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>To be considered a performance obligation, the good or service must be capable of being distinct, and the promise to transfer the good or service must be distinct in the context of the contract. Life sciences entities might have to exercise considerable judgment when determining if a promised good or service is separately identifiable. This process necessitates a comprehensive understanding of each contract’s specific details and conditions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Customer options for additional goods or services\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Certain contracts entered by life sciences entities include an option to purchase additional goods or services, which could be offered at a reduced price or potentially provided without any cost. Such an option is treated as a performance obligation only if it provides a material right to the customer that it would not have received without entering into the contract. For instance, when the reduction in rates upon renewal is relatively more significant than that typically provided under similar circumstances.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Determining whether an option for additional goods or services constitutes a material right, a variable consideration, or a separate contract upon exercise requires significant judgment.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Contracts with variable consideration\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Life science entities may enter into contracts with customers involving variable considerations, such as milestone payments, outcomes-based pricing, price concessions, discounts, rebates, and performance bonuses. For instance, payments tied to achieving specific goals, like reaching a particular phase in a clinical trial or obtaining regulatory approval, are typical.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>ASC 606 mandates that companies include the consideration to which they expect to be entitled (i.e., the variable consideration) in the transaction price. Accordingly, in a distributor and reseller arrangement, it is no longer acceptable for a life science entity to delay revenue recognition until the distributor or reseller sells the product to the end consumer.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In most cases, a life science entity must estimate the variable consideration based on information available at contract inception and determine if it is “probable” that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenues recognized under the contract will not occur in future periods when the uncertainty related to the variable consideration is resolved. Estimating the amount of variable consideration can be made using the expected value method or the most likely amount method. The choice depends on which method better predicts the amount of variable consideration in the particular set of facts and circumstances.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>For instance, the life science entity may conclude that the milestone payment contingent on regulatory approval should be recognized once it becomes probable that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will approve the product. If there are only a limited number of outcomes (i.e., a specified milestone payment will be paid if approval is sought and nothing will be paid if approval is not sought), the entity may deem the most likely amount method to be best suited for estimating the expected amount of variable consideration. In turn, this requires identifying the amount that is most likely to occur and applying the variable consideration constraint to the estimate.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Rights of return\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If the contract grants the customer the right to return products, particularly for new product launches, within a specified period after the sale, the life science entity should recognize revenue only at the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled. Accordingly, the estimate excludes consideration for products expected to be returned, which should be recognized as a refund liability. A corresponding adjustment to the asset representing the right to receive future inventory returns and the cost of sales for the estimated returns should likewise be recognized.

In that case, the biotechnology company may conclude that the royalty revenue should be recognized until the later of either the subsequent sales of prescription drugs or the satisfaction of the related performance obligation (i.e., the grant of a license to use the patented drug compound). Should the sales data necessary to calculate the sales-based royalty remain unavailable before the financial statements are issued, the biotechnology company would need to make revenue estimations from the sales-based royalty as of the end of a given period.

How much fundraising expense is appropriate?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Unfortunately, money doesn’t grow on trees, and nonprofit organizations have to work hard to attract donors and secure donations that will fund the mission.

Guidance varies as to what percentage of an organization’s budget should go to fundraising costs. For instance, Charity Navigator suggests less than 10% of the budget should be spent on fundraising, while BBB Wise Giving Alliance recommends no more than 35%.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In fact, tracking how much it costs the organization to raise a dollar in donations, or the ROI of fundraising dollars, might be a more useful KPI. Knowing the cost of raising a dollar donation provides insight into the effectiveness and efficiency of your fundraising activities and can also help you determine where your most cost-effective opportunities lie.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>4. Does my nonprofit need to be audited?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Many states require nonprofits to submit a copy of audited financial statements as part of registering the nonprofit in the state. But ongoing audit requirements are more challenging to pin down.&nbsp; &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Each state has its own audit requirements, which can vary within the state depending on the size, funding sources, or activities of the nonprofit. According to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.councilofnonprofits.org\u002F\">National Council of Nonprofits\u003C\u002Fa>, some states require nonprofits that receive a certain level of state funding to submit independent audits to the state agency that provided the funding; others may require an audit if they solicit funds from the public or have a stated amount of annual revenue or expenses. Still others do not have any specific audit requirements at all for nonprofits.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Taking California as an example, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fleginfo.legislature.ca.gov\u002Ffaces\u002Fcodes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV&amp;sectionNum=12586.\">state law\u003C\u002Fa> requires that any nonprofit that has gross revenue of two million dollars ($2,000,000) or more and that is required to file reports with the Attorney General must have their financial statements audited by an independent CPA. If they have grants and contracts with governmental agencies, those government agencies may also require independent accounting of the funds.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>On the other hand, Alabama, Delaware, and Idaho (among others) have no state-level requirements for nonprofit audits.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>However, even if you operate in a state that does not require it, there are benefits to being audited that you should consider. The most important is that some&nbsp; major funders will only donate funds to organizations who provide audited financial statements. An audit provides assurance to donors, grantors, and the public, that the organization is managing its finances in a responsible manner.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In addition, an audit can help identify any weaknesses in your financial management and internal controls as well as providing information that assists leaders to make better decisions about resource allocation and strategic planning.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>5. Can the founder of a nonprofit receive a salary?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ci>Salaries for founders and executives of nonprofits are a complicated area. Nonprofits are governed by a board of directors and operate as public entities, and board members are not paid beyond reimbursement of certain expenses. Broadly, the founder of a nonprofit can receive a salary as long as it is reasonable and not excessive, and the founder is carrying out work related to the nonprofit’s mission. According to the IRS, “Reasonable compensation is the value that would ordinarily be paid for like services by like enterprises under like circumstances. Reasonableness is determined based on all the facts and circumstances. “\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Any salary paid to a founder must be approved by the board of directors or a compensation committee and reported on Form 990.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Scrubbed can help\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Handling tax, accounting, and finance issues for a nonprofit can be challenging.

He has worked closely with various CEOs and CFOs, providing him with a unique perspective on the industry. “All those experiences add up,” Fred notes, “and they prepare you for the next level.”\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fred is Scrubbed’s very own ‘Mr. Efficiency Guy,’ and his leadership philosophy is centered around a results-oriented culture that values independence and freedom. He believes in empowering his team members to operate at peak efficiency while giving them the space to explore and innovate. “I see myself as more of a facilitator than an authoritative figure,” Fred says, emphasizing his collaborative approach to decision-making.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fa13be61b-1f80-4dc6-b231-e541fffd2ce8.webp\" alt=\"Blog Graphics Graphs Charts 2 1 1024x576\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fa13be61b-1f80-4dc6-b231-e541fffd2ce8-mobile.webp 480w, https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002Fa13be61b-1f80-4dc6-b231-e541fffd2ce8-tablet.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 768px) 768px, 1200px\">\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">One of the major challenges Fred has identified in the CorFin landscape is recruitment. As the demand for specialized and technical talent grows, finding the right talent and ensuring they are the right fit for the team has become increasingly difficult. “Our pool of candidates is much smaller compared to other fields like accounting,” Fred explains. Despite this, he remains focused on building capacity and ensuring the team is well-equipped to provide exceptional service to clients.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding the role of technology and innovation in the corporate finance department’s operations and decision-making processes, Fred recognizes that Data &amp; Analytics (D&amp;A) as a service will be directly impacted by the tools used to analyze and structure client data. He believes that with AI as an emerging tool, it’s essential to make sure that we are on the curve if not ahead in adoption, ensuring Scrubbed provides the most efficient and high-quality service to its clients. This is particularly important when addressing areas such as risk and SOX compliance, where data integrity and transparency are critical for clients navigating regulatory landscapes.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Director of Corporate Finance, Fred is ready to tackle the challenges ahead and lead the CorFin team to new heights. At the same time, he wants to ensure that his team practices work-life balance. With two boys, he makes sure that his evenings and weekends are spent with his family. “My hobby is being a father,” he says. He wants the same for his team—to be able to do the things they love with the people they cherish, which, in turn, will reflect positively on their productivity. His strategic vision, commitment to innovation, and dedication to fostering a strong team culture will undoubtedly drive success for Scrubbed in the years to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":91,"type":92,"name":93,"data":6115},{"items":6116},[6117],{"url":97,"title":6118,"alt":6118,"description":6119,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"Contact Our Corporate Finance Team","Whether you're planning for growth, optimizing financial performance, or navigating complex business decisions, Scrubbed’s Corporate Finance team delivers strategic guidance tailored to your goals.

In fact, only 53% of businesses complete their monthly close within six business days. By waiting until year-end, you are left with more accounts to verify and more time spent tracking down documentation that should’ve been organized months ago.&nbsp; Inaccurate or outdated forecasts Revisiting your forecasts too often can be misleading, but waiting until Q4 also has its drawbacks. Business conditions can rapidly change, and the budgets and forecasts you made in Q1 may no longer be accurate by the end of the year. Maybe sales are running ahead of plan, maybe costs are higher than expected, or maybe the market shifted. With so many factors to consider, it’s nearly impossible to make informed decisions or reallocate resources effectively without updated numbers.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>&nbsp;Audit and compliance risks Without updated financial records, audits can become a long and drawn-out process.

Abstracting leases is basically summarizing the critical points of a lease.

Property taxes are usually based on the cost value of the property upon sale multiplied by the current year’s property tax accrual rate. The good news is the increase in property tax is not payable upon closing the deal but only once the supplemental property tax bill has been sent to you by the county where the property is located.

The biggest challenge is how audits are conducted, and files are collected, making the information difficult for automation, artificial intelligence (AI), or machine learning (ML) to access and manipulate. Think about it, when we collect files from a client for auditing purposes, they are typically hard copies, PDFs, JPGs, or other files that can’t be manipulated and recategorized by a program.

They are set to recognize and automatically suggest how to categorize specific transactions. For example, you can have your bookkeeping software automatically record transactions with gas stations (e.g., Chevron, Shell, etc.) to the mileage, gas, and tolls expense account. Someone, at some point, added that automation rule to those systems.

The programs we use every day – Quickbooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, etc. – all use different coding systems. In a perfect world, they would all adopt the same coding system so information can be easily integrated regardless of which system is used. Just that one change, which admittedly is a big one, would streamline our auditing system exponentially. But right now, there is too much money to be made in the fintech industry, and too many people who are concerned by the idea of AI-enabled audit, for this type of collaboration. While the technology is ready to go, people must program and operate much of it.

In fact, approximately 80% of new businesses fail to make it to their fifth year. Even with the most innovative idea and best business plan, it is vitally important to understand and regularly check the financial health of your business. Have you forecasted your monthly income and are you bringing in that amount, or more? Do you have sufficient cash flow to comfortably pay your employees and bills, or are your accounts receivable piling up? Do you have enough money in reserves to handle unexpected curveballs?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">This is where consistent bookkeeping and analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) comes in.

Often CAC is further broken out into Blended CAC and Paid CAC. Blended CAC looks at the total number of customers you acquired, even those that came through free sources like word of mouth. Paid CAC counts only those customers acquired with paid channels like placing an ad on Facebook or Google. It is important to look at both so you can understand how effective your marketing efforts are and if that money should be spent in other ways.&nbsp; When using a CAC value, the target is to ensure the CAC is lower than the average order. Since it is a measure of how much it costs to acquire each customer, you want to ensure each customer spends more in the company than you spent acquiring them. CAC is most helpful when it is combined with other measures.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3 style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) = Monthly Recurring Revenue \u002F Total Active Customers\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">ARPU allows you to understand how much revenue you are generating from each active customer.

This number helps you understand if the amount you are spending to acquire a customer is sustainable and allows you to make informed decisions on ways to improve retention, reduce customer acquisition cost, and increase the revenue generated from each customer. Looking at the LTV:CAC ratio compares the cost of acquiring customers to their lifetime value. For any recurring revenue business, a 3:1 ratio is usually a good target. This means that the value of each customer is three times the cost of acquiring them.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3 style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Customer Churn Rate (CCR) = Number of Customers Lost \u002F Total Customers\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">As the name indicates, this is a measure of how many customers you are losing over a period of time. There will always be attrition, but if this number starts to grow, you will know something is happening that is causing customers to leave at a faster rate than they were before. Did you make a change that customers don’t like? Has your level of customer service dropped? Did you make a change in your products that customers don’t like? It is important to evaluate your customer satisfaction scores and complaints to get to the bottom of the issue. You can also break CCR down by other factors like customer segments, length of customer relationship, features\u002Fpricing, etc. so you can make changes to the areas at issue and stem the flow of customers. For a recurring revenue business like a SAAS business, churn should average about 5% and never exceed 10%.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ;

It indicates how quickly a company will go through its startup capital before becoming cash flow positive. Venture capitalists will often use a company’s burn rate as a measurement of whether they see it as a good investment. A low burn rate indicates that investment dollars will go further, and the company is poised to gain traction and become profitable more quickly. A high burn rate means that a business is depleting its cash supply quickly and needs to decrease expenses, increase funding, or both.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3 style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1;

In fact, approximately 80% of new businesses fail to make it to their fifth year. Even with the most innovative idea and best business plan, it is vitally important to understand and regularly check the financial health of your business.

Setting up an accounting software like Quickbooks Online or Xero can streamline your daily bookkeeping and accounting processes. This is a great place to start, but it is just the beginning of properly managing your company’s financials. At least as important, if not more, is measuring the overall financial health of your business by regularly reviewing KPIs to see the big picture and get a detailed analysis of where you are at any given time.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Different than metrics, which measure the overall health of a business, KPIs measure your progress toward specific goals.

Often CAC is further broken out into Blended CAC and Paid CAC. Blended CAC looks at the total number of customers you acquired, even those that came through free sources like word of mouth. Paid CAC counts only those customers acquired with paid channels like placing an ad on Facebook or Google. It is important to look at both so you can understand how effective your marketing efforts are and if that money should be spent in other ways.&nbsp; When using a CAC value, the target is to ensure the CAC is lower than the average order. Since it is a measure of how much it costs to acquire each customer, you want to ensure each customer spends more in the company than you spent acquiring them. CAC is most helpful when it is combined with other measures.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) = Monthly Recurring Revenue \u002F Total Active Customers\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">ARPU allows you to understand how much revenue you are generating from each active customer.

This number helps you understand if the amount you are spending to acquire a customer is sustainable and allows you to make informed decisions on ways to improve retention, reduce customer acquisition cost, and increase the revenue generated from each customer. Looking at the LTV:CAC ratio compares the cost of acquiring customers to their lifetime value. For any recurring revenue business, a 3:1 ratio is usually a good target. This means that the value of each customer is three times the cost of acquiring them.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch3 style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ;

There will always be attrition, but if this number starts to grow, you will know something is happening that is causing customers to leave at a faster rate than they were before. Did you make a change that customers don’t like? Has your level of customer service dropped? Did you make a change in your products that customers don’t like? It is important to evaluate your customer satisfaction scores and complaints to get to the bottom of the issue. You can also break CCR down by other factors like customer segments, length of customer relationship, features\u002Fpricing, etc. so you can make changes to the areas at issue and stem the flow of customers. For a recurring revenue business like a SAAS business, churn should average about 5% and never exceed 10%.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ;

It indicates how quickly a company will go through its startup capital before becoming cash flow positive. Venture capitalists will often use a company’s burn rate as a measurement of whether they see it as a good investment. A low burn rate indicates that investment dollars will go further, and the company is poised to gain traction and become profitable more quickly.

The accounting profession is grappling with a critical staffing shortage highlighted by a 17% decline in U.S. accountants and auditors leaving their jobs over the past two years,” says Aira. “This trend has added unprecedented pressure on accounting and finance teams, pushing organizations to rethink how they manage talent, maintain efficiency, and meet growing demands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">But on top of the general shortage, the challenge is not just finding any accountant It’s about finding the right people. For Chloe, working with startups, that means finding controllers who can roll up their sleeves and do everything. “They have to be quite seasoned; they have to not have an ego to say that things are below their skill set,” she says.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Henry highlighted a different kind of difficulty for public accounting. “A lot of the Big four and the Big Ten have laid off a lot of people,” he says. “Our challenge isn’t necessarily that the people aren’t out there.

After that, what else can I offer that attracts them to want to stay?” Chloe emphasized that you have to find the right fit for tech startups, as for nonprofits. but the value of equity offerings can also be a powerful motivator.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Henry also underscored the importance of hiring for culture fit. “It’s not just about finding the best person—it’s about finding the right person for our organization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Embracing Innovation in Technology and Automation\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Accounting and finance operations are changing because of increased automation and new technologies that are helping to reduce the day-to-day tasks and free up time for accounting teams to focus on higher-value and strategic work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Chloe discussed how her startups have run more effectively with smaller teams because of tools like QuickBooks that can be integrated with additional accounts payable and inventory management platforms. Aira explained how Scrubbed approaches technology and innovation. “This is something we’re very good at,” she says. “We’re knowledgeable of all of the off-the-shelf technologies whether that’s an accounting system, inventory system, app system. We know about putting it all together and integrating it and letting them talk to each other to make our lives easier as accountants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">For Amy, the value of technology is clear. “It just reduces the amount of time that we’re working on the transactional so that more of our time is spent on actually analyzing the financial statements and, understanding what the impacts are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">However, Henry cautioned against relying on automation alone. “We have completely automated software…we can do a job and put in different templates and programs that will turn everything into a yes or no type question,” he says. “But it also has the effect of “dumbing down” our people because they’re not thinking through things.” He sees potential issues as lower-level tasks are delegated to technology. For instance, do future managers have the necessary foundational background?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">There’s also an issue of effectiveness.”You can have the best technology, but if it’s not used efficiently and maximized, then it won’t do the job,” he says. “This is where Scrubbed has been a huge benefit to me because they’re a much larger team, so they can see across different platforms and how to utilize things in a different way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Outsourced and Fractional Accounting as a Strategic Solution\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">All of the panelists emphasized the importance of outsourcing to tap into expert talent on demand and fill talent gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Chloe shared her experience: “Startups don’t focus on accounting, and people don’t understand that fixing it at the end is going to cost you more time and money than when you do it right up front.” For startups, speed is everything, she says. “And so instead of hiring many different part-time positions, I have the Scrubbed team that helps me to get everything done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Aira agrees. “It’s fast pace. You’re a startup. You’re going so fast. And I think the key benefit for you, other than the expertise in accounting, is that we know what technologies to use. It’s all ready for you to use today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Expertise was also a key benefit as far as the panel was concerned. “What I like is that because you have a lot of different people with different skill sets, you can pull them in to do different things,” says Henry. “It doesn’t mean the same person is doing every single thing. I have the team to help me without having to worry about hiring many different people.”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Amy highlighted the flexibility and reliability of outsourced support.

That means you need the ability to access and analyze critical information about your business, quickly and efficiently, so you can make informed, timely decisions. But often, financial information is presented in graphs that provide more eyesores than insights. Data visualization can help. Data visualization turns static reports that are difficult to understand and interpret into graphical formats that help you spot trends, patterns, exceptions, and opportunities more easily. By tapping into our innate ability to process information visually, this powerful technique turns data into an effective decision-making tool. However, not all data visualizations are created equal. The best examples leverage proven techniques, rooted in psychology, to make data clear, compelling, and actionable. In Part 1 of this series, we shared examples of data visualizations that use the psychology principle of pre-attentive attributes—like color, shape, size, and orientation—to present data in ways that are more useful and actionable. In Part 2, we review examples of data visualizations that leverage another psychology practice: Gestalt principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How Gestalt Principles Improve Your Data Presentations\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Gestalt is a well-known psychology theory about how our brains create structure by default. Even if you haven’t heard the term Gestalt, it’s likely you’re aware of this theory because it is encapsulated in the commonly used phrase, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” While there are many Gestalt principles, here we focus on four that are especially relevant to data visualizations and can be used to supplement pre-attentive attributes like color, shape, and size.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Simplicity\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Our minds look for simplicity in complex shapes. It is easier to perceive meaning from something simple because it avoids information overload. Reducing jargon, sorting data, and limiting the number of colors are all examples of simplicity in data visualizations. The top graph was used in the first part of our series to illustrate how bar graphs can tell a clearer story, at a glance, than data tables. But we can further improve the graph by simplifying it, as shown in the second version.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F76d472b3-3835-45a4-953c-bf772e31bff9.webp\" alt=\"Dataviz1 1\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F76d472b3-3835-45a4-953c-bf772e31bff9-mobile.webp 480w, https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F76d472b3-3835-45a4-953c-bf772e31bff9-tablet.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 768px) 768px, 1200px\">\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Once we sort the bars in descending order, it becomes even easier to see how each country ranks by product.

One wrong move and the entire project could be at risk. How do companies ensure their clinical trials stay on track without going into the red? The answer lies in strategic financial planning. At Scrubbed, we recommend five steps to our biotech and life sciences clients to support their clinical trials:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>1. Develop a Rock-Solid Budget\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Budgeting is the crucial first step, and to develop an effective budget, you need to include the full scope of the potential trial. Testing a new drug in a small Phase I study is different in size and complexity from running a full-scale Phase III trial with hundreds of patients, and the budget should reflect that.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Consider all trial-related costs. That includes personnel and site costs, the cost of recruiting and retaining patients, and the cost of communicating your interim and final results to stakeholders and regulators. You’ll also need to include expenditures for data management and analysis, laboratory and testing, and fees you pay to contract research organizations (CROs)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Even the best-planned budget can’t anticipate everything, so the final step is to build a cushion for the unexpected. Clinical trials are notorious for surprises, so setting aside 10-20% of your budget for contingencies is just smart planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>2. Master Cost Management\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Once you have established your budget, the real challenge lies in sticking to it. Historical data can provide a vital guide, helping you to estimate costs—and when they might occur— more accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">At Scrubbed, we recommend you implement real-time budget tracking tools that help you continuously monitor spending and compare actual costs to the budget so that you can detect and address any overspending before it becomes an issue. We also help clients deploy categorized expense tracking to give visibility into spending patterns and make it easier to identify where cost-saving measures can be implemented.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">In addition to being good practice, well-structured financial reports that lay out your cost management approach are more appealing to potential investors as they demonstrate your ability to master the details and substantiate your assumptions. This is also where corporate finance advisory expertise can strengthen your decision-making, ensuring resources are allocated effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>3. Tap into Tax Credits and Incentives\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Research and Development (R&amp;D) tax credits and other incentives offer biotech and life sciences companies a valuable way to offset clinical trial costs, reduce tax liabilities, and reinvest savings into research. Different countries will offer different incentives with specific eligibility standards. So, the first step is to understand how your clinical trials fit with the eligibility criteria of tax incentives and any other government or private grants and subsidies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">We recommend working with an experienced tax professional to help you identify and maximize eligible incentives and to ensure that your audits are compliant and align with tax guidelines, including considerations related to risk and SOX compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Used strategically, credits and incentives can help you to reduce tax payments, improve cash flow and reduce the need for external funding.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>4. Mitigate Financial Risks\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Clinical trials carry significant scientific, operational, and financial risks. While the first two are unavoidable if you are to make progress, you can mitigate financial risks through thoughtful planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">We’ve already talked about setting aside 10-20% of the budget for unexpected costs, such as delays or protocol changes, but it’s also important to consider insurance coverage. Clinical trial insurance can help protect against legal claims, liabilities, and cancelations. Financial scenario planning can also help you prepare for different outcomes and identify any areas of particular concern for your trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Another financial risk mitigation strategy is to diversify your funding sources– don’t put all your eggs in one basket! If you seek funding across different equity, grants, partnerships, and debt, you improve your ability to keep the trial on track if one source falls through. If your company has already secured Series A funding, an effective, diversified, investment strategy can also maximize those funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Strong financial planning provides a safety net for clinical trials, allowing you to concentrate on smoother execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>5. Track and Document Everything\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Clinical trials require consistent recordkeeping to meet regulations and build trust with stakeholders. You should implement robust systems and processes to ensure that you retain all trial-specific documentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Comprehensive financial records will include detailed budget reports along with invoices, receipts, and payroll records. We recommend reviewing financial reporting regularly to allow you to spot any discrepancies and address them as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">At Scrubbed, we help our clients set up processes to ensure robust audit trails and track any changes to documentation. We also recommend adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards and keeping up with regulatory filings to help promote transparency, compliance, and accountability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Financial Planning for Smoother Trials\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Effective financial planning is essential to successful clinical trials. From managing costs and mitigating risks to leveraging available tax credits and incentives, the financial landscape can quickly become complex. Partnering with a specialist provider with in-depth knowledge of how to treat clinical trials can help you maximize your budget, take full advantage of R&amp;D tax credits, and implement best practices for financial management. With the financial and tax details taken care of, you can focus on the scientific and operational success of your trial. The right financial guidance will help you minimize costly surprises and ensure the long-term viability of your research efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":91,"type":92,"name":93,"data":7291},{"items":7292},[7293],{"url":97,"title":237,"alt":237,"description":7252,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},{"id":101,"type":102,"name":103,"data":7295},{"label":241,"url":120},{"id":108,"type":92,"name":109,"data":7297},{"items":7298},[7299],{"url":8,"title":8,"alt":185,"description":1082,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},{"id":116,"type":102,"name":117,"data":7301},{"label":1085,"url":120},{"id":122,"type":92,"name":123,"data":7303},{"items":7304},[7305,7306,7307,7308],{"url":8,"title":1090,"alt":8,"description":1091,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},{"url":8,"title":8,"alt":8,"description":1082,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},{"url":8,"title":8,"alt":8,"description":1082,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},{"url":8,"title":8,"alt":8,"description":1082,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"Clinical Trial Financial Planning","Charmagne Escaro","cescaro@scrubbed.net","https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F61777f72-a9c6-4942-945c-e950ba4b65bb.webp","Corporate Finance Senior Manager",[7315,7316,7317],{"id":146,"name":147,"slug":148,"createdAt":149},{"id":63,"name":64,"slug":65,"createdAt":66},{"id":858,"name":859,"slug":860,"createdAt":861},{"id":7319,"title":7320,"slug":7321,"content":8,"excerpt":8,"status":10,"featuredImage":7322,"authorId":908,"categoryId":13,"createdAt":7323,"updatedAt":7324,"metaTitle":7325,"metaDescription":7326,"metaKeywords":7327,"ogImage":7322,"canonicalUrl":19,"heroImage":19,"scheduledAt":19,"deletedAt":19,"blocks":7328,"focusKeyword":7354,"seoScore":1682,"workflowStatus":19,"workflowStep":34,"workflowId":19,"locale":35,"author_name":924,"author_email":925,"author_avatar":926,"author_job_title":927,"category_name":39,"category_slug":40,"tags":7355},"144efc37-4827-44c0-abb5-dd0e8ccd6aa5","How Data Analytics is Reshaping M&A and Due Diligence","how-data-analytics-is-reshaping-ma-and-due-diligence","https:\u002F\u002Fcms-api.scrubbed.net\u002Fuploads\u002F1f6ff5ab-70ae-48e2-a9e1-0e82d7256fa7.webp","2026-07-20T02:45:35.331Z","2026-07-20T02:57:01.600Z","Data Analytics Reshaping M&A & Due Diligence","Revolutionizing M&A and due diligence, enabling faster, more informed decisions, and uncovering critical risks and opportunities in complex deals.","data analytics, M&A, due diligence, deal teams, business data",[7329,7331,7334,7339,7341,7345,7347],{"id":22,"type":23,"name":24,"data":7330},{"html":26},{"id":28,"type":23,"name":29,"data":7332},{"html":7333},"\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Today, the stakes for M&amp;A are higher than ever, and so is the amount of data involved in every deal.

As CPAs, you can help your clients repurpose valuable data collected by their Sustainability team. With the right approach, your clients can integrate data on energy use, emissions, resource consumption, and social impact into financial planning, risk management, and strategic decision-making. This helps clients see sustainability as a core part of their business strategy, not just a compliance exercise. You can also advise on investments in energy-efficient assets and renewable resources and work with R&amp;D, procurement, and operations teams to identify sustainable alternatives for products, suppliers, and processes.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Educate and Communicate the Value: Resistance to change is common, but you can help clients overcome it by leading training sessions and workshops. Draw on success stories highlighting tangible cost-saving or risk-reduction benefits to make the case more compelling. You can help finance teams understand how to interpret sustainability data, assess its impact on business risks and opportunities, and incorporate it into financial reporting. This approach is equally valuable in areas like nonprofit financial reporting, where accuracy, transparency, and compliance are essential. To build bridges between teams, you can also educate Sustainability professionals on the standards and controls needed for reliable, auditable data and how to align sustainability reporting with financial reporting frameworks.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Identify and Manage Risks Proactively: With your expertise in risk assessment, you can help clients identify and address risks related to climate change, resource scarcity, and social responsibility and develop internal controls and processes that support sustainable practices and reporting.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enhance Reporting and Compliance: Your expertise in data and reporting is invaluable for helping clients implement accounting practices that seamlessly track financial and environmental performance. With the right technical accounting support, clients are better prepared for evolving regulations and can reduce the risk of non-compliance.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>Opportunities for CPA Firms\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">When your clients take meaningful steps toward sustainability, it can also position your CPA firm to unlock new opportunities. New service offerings might include:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Expanded Advisory and Consulting Services: Clients pursuing sustainable business models like circular economy strategies or new product-as-a-service offerings need expert guidance. Your firm can provide financial modeling, cost-benefit analysis, and compliance support, positioning you as a strategic advisor as their needs evolve.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Tax Incentives and Credits: Your firm can help clients identify, claim, and maximize green tax benefits. Strategic tax planning for investments in renewable energy or energy-efficient assets can also deliver direct savings for clients and demonstrate your firm’s value as a forward-thinking partner.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Sustainability Reporting: As sustainability reporting becomes a priority for businesses, your firm can help clients choose the right reporting standards ( such as ESRS, GRI or SASB) and offer ESG reporting, assurance, and help integrate environmental data into financial statements.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Sustainability Assurance and Attestation: Demand for independent assurance for sustainability disclosures is growing, as having a third party validate ESG disclosures significantly boosts their credibility with investors, customers, and regulators. The assurance process can also help identify gaps or weaknesses in data collection, leading to more robust controls. CPA firms are well qualified to provide these services.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Establishing Internal Controls on Sustainability Reporting: Your firm can help clients design and implement controls over sustainability information to ensure accuracy, reliability, and compliance with evolving standards. This builds trust in sustainability disclosures and reduces risk.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Stakeholder Engagement: Effective sustainability strategies require engaging a broad range of stakeholders, from investors and customers to employees and communities. Your clients will need help with stakeholder mapping, materiality assessments, and transparent communication to help them build trust and manage expectations.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Materiality Assessments (Single vs Double): Materiality assessments are foundational to sustainability reporting. Your firm can help clients conduct single materiality (focusing on financial impacts) and double materiality (considering both financial and broader societal\u002Fenvironmental impacts) assessments to support compliance with global standards like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the accompanying European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Cost Savings and Risk Mitigation: You can help your clients achieve long-term cost savings and reduce exposure to regulatory or reputational risks by advising them on resource efficiency and sustainable asset choices.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Access to Capital: Sustainable businesses often enjoy better access to green investments and loans, sometimes at more favorable rates. CPA firms can help clients prepare the necessary documentation and sustainability disclosures to attract this capital.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Ongoing Client Engagement: Sustainability initiatives often require ongoing advisory, risk assessment, and training. You can deepen client relationships and create recurring revenue opportunities while helping clients future-proof their businesses.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Pay Attention to Client Experience and Retention\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Happy clients drive referrals and long-term growth. To improve your client satisfaction and strengthen relationships, try more proactive communication, value-added reporting, or add-ons like annual business reviews.

You’ve probably gone to the trouble of setting up a budget and a timeline for business expansion. You may have targeted certain dates in the future to launch products or to go after further venture capital or loans. As you scale, transactions will trigger changes in your business environment. While change is good, the danger of going out there is on not keeping up with the changes.&nbsp; Sometimes, the pain of not keeping up may result in financial losses. Internal controls put a halt to an uncontrolled faucet—it saves you resources, and most importantly, it refocuses your view on the things that matter.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-rotate: 0;

You may even stave off a wrongful termination lawsuit.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Furthermore, internal controls that are written down make it far easier to on-board new employees whose tasks may involve spending money, payroll, and the like. At some point, you will probably grow, and these early internal controls can be adapted for a new employee handbook to help train staff. You can even use some of these controls in employee performance and compensation reviews. The best part of it is that if you start head-on, your people are geared towards easily complying with internal control policies—something that emerging companies consider difficult achieving.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-skew-x: 0;

Our process is intentionally different from most firms. Every candidate goes through a multi-day “Bootcamp” regardless of whether they have prior TAS experience. Candidates work through sample TAS-projects, allowing us to assess their analytical thinking, problem-solving approach, ability to manage tasks and get a glimpse of their work habits. This approach gives both the candidate and Scrubbed the opportunity to assess if they are the right fit for each other. The candidate gains first hand insight into the nature of the work and can determine if it’s aligned with her skills and interests, while Scrubbed can assess whether the candidate is the right fit for the demands of TAS work.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Quality is our top priority at Scrubbed.

Most companies opted for immediate expensing, which allowed for a reduction in taxable income in the year the expenses were incurred. This approach was particularly advantageous for biotech firms with substantial R&amp;D expenditures.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Post-2021 Changes \u003C\u002Fb>Starting in 2022, amendments to IRC Section 174, as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, mandate significant changes in the treatment of R&amp;D expenses. Specifically:\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Capitalization and Amortization:\u003C\u002Fb> Taxpayers must now capitalize and amortize R&amp;E expenditures over five years for domestic expenses and 15 years for foreign expenses. The immediate deduction of R&amp;D costs is no longer permitted. This shift affects biotech and life sciences companies that have historically relied on immediate expensing to manage cash flow and tax liabilities.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Software Development Costs: \u003C\u002Fb>Costs related to software development incurred after 2021 are now classified as R&amp;D expenses, eliminating the special treatment that previously applied. These costs must also be amortized over five years (or 15 years for foreign software development) and include activities such as planning, designing, modeling, testing, and code conversion. Challenges Posed by Recent Tax Updates These recent updates raise several tax challenges for biotech and life sciences. The most pressing include:\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>T\u003Cb>racking and Documentation:\u003C\u002Fb> With different amortization periods for domestic and foreign R&amp;D expenditures, it’s essential that your company implements robust tracking systems to accurately separate and amortize expenses by location. We recommend strengthening your record-keeping practices and consulting tax professionals to ensure compliance.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Increased Challenges for Foreign R&amp;D Activities:\u003C\u002Fb> Historically, R&amp;D tax credits have been available only for domestic research activities, meaning that foreign research efforts do not qualify. Recent tax changes mandate that deductions for foreign R&amp;D be amortized over a significantly longer period—15 years compared to 5 years for domestic R&amp;D. This extended deferral strains financial resources and impacts the global competitiveness of biotech companies engaged in international research. If your biotech or life sciences company is heavily involved in foreign R&amp;D activities, the recent changes to IRC Section 174 have created a negative impact.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Calculation and Payment of Estimated Taxes:\u003C\u002Fb> Companies relying on immediate R&amp;D deductions may face cash flow issues and higher tax liabilities because of the deferral of deductions. We advise affected firms to adjust their estimated tax payments, both federal and state, to account for the new amortization requirements. Acting proactively can mitigate the risk of penalties for underpayment and help you maintain compliance with the revised regulations.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Federal and State Tax Differences on Recent R&amp;D Changes: \u003C\u002Fb>The modification of IRC Section 174 now requires the amortization of R&amp;D expenses over 5 years (15 years for foreign R&amp;D), affecting how these costs are treated for federal tax purposes. However, some states do not conform directly to these changes and may have different rules for R&amp;D expense treatment at the state level.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Tracking and Compliance Efforts: \u003C\u002Fb>These discrepancies between federal and state tax treatments can create challenges, particularly for taxpayers who engage in R&amp;D activities and file state tax returns across multiple states. Navigating the varied rules and requirements across different jurisdictions can be complex and burdensome, requiring careful tracking and compliance efforts.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Divergence Between Book and Tax Treatment: \u003C\u002Fb>The shift from immediate expensing under GAAP to capitalizing and amortizing R&amp;D expenses for tax purposes creates a divergence between financial reporting and tax reporting. To reconcile these differences, biotech companies must prepare detailed documentation, including classification and amortization schedules. We recommend engaging tax professionals to help your firm address this disparity and ensure accurate reporting.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Change in Accounting Method: \u003C\u002Fb>The transition to the new amortization periods is considered a change in accounting method initiated by the taxpayer, with IRS consent. No formal accounting method change or Section 481(a) adjustment is required. This adjustment applies on a cut-off basis to R&amp;D expenditures incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. Due to the complexity of these changes, consulting with tax professionals is crucial to ensure compliance and address any issues that may arise.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\">Staying informed about these regulatory changes and working with tax experts can help your firm navigate the complexities, optimize your tax strategies, and ensure compliance with updated tax rules.

These include enhancements to the R&amp;D tax credit and programs designed to foster biotechnology and life sciences innovation. Specifically targeting the biotech sector, these proposals seek to provide additional tax credits and funding for R&amp;D activities, including incentives for clinical trials and early-stage biotech research.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>ESG Tax Incentives:\u003C\u002Fb> There have been discussions and proposals around tax incentives to promote Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, including for biotech companies. These proposals generally seek to provide tax benefits or credits for companies implementing ESG practices, such as sustainable operations, responsible sourcing, or social impact projects.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Digital and Biotech Integration: \u003C\u002Fb>With the increasing integration of digital technologies with biotech through developments in data analytics and digital health solutions, tax policies may evolve to address these new areas.

This resulted in diversity in practice, with some joint ventures accounting for contributions received on a carryover basis and others at fair value. ASU 2023-05 aims to minimize variations in financial reporting practices and furnish users of joint venture financial statements with information that enhances decision-making.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>When a joint venture is formed, ASU 2023-05 mandates the application of a new basis of accounting. Under the new guidance, none of the assets or businesses contributed to the joint venture are treated as independent entities; instead, they are viewed as transfers of net assets to a newly created entity that assumes control over them. The accounting approach involves applying elements of the acquisition method for business combinations tailored to the unique characteristics of joint ventures. ASU 2023-05 applies to all joint ventures, irrespective of whether they are formed by two or more parties or controlled by a single party. Additionally, it extends its application to all monetary and non-monetary contributions made to a joint venture at its formation date.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>There were no changes in the definition of a joint venture as provided in the ASC master glossary.

Qualified wages also include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan as provided in the CARES Act, but only to the extent those amounts are excluded from employees’ gross income (per section 106(a) of the Code).\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>How Do I Claim the Credit?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>For most employers, the total qualified wages and the related health insurance costs for each quarter are reported on Form 941.

The IRS extended the credit to wages paid after December 31, 2020 and before July 1, 2021 and modified the credit calculation. For 2021, the significant decline in gross receipts is based on an 80 percent threshold for each calendar quarter, the qualified wage limit for any calendar quarter is $10,000, and the credit is equal to 70 percent of qualified wages, allowing a maximum credit of $7,000 for each employee for the first and second quarter of the year. These limits continue to apply in the third and fourth calendar quarters in 2021, but with a separate credit limit applying to “recovery startup businesses.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Ch2>What is a Recovery Startup Business?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Section 3134 of the Code adds a third category of employers that are eligible for the Employee Retention Credit for the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2021: recovery startup businesses.

Perform a top-down risk assessment.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>To reduce your risks, you need to identify them first. Sounds simple enough, but many private companies don’t make risk assessment a priority. A top-down risk assessment anchors your understanding of risk from a high-level perspective, enabling you to allocate resources toward designing and implementing controls that focus on what matters most to your business. Since your risks will change over time, it’s best to revisit and update the assessment regularly.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>2. Prioritize your risks.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Which risks have the greatest potential impact on your business? Those should be your highest priorities when it comes to mitigation.

Choose your internal control framework.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>There are various frameworks for establishing internal controls, and it’s important to choose one that best represents your operational, financial reporting, and compliance objectives. The COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Toggle #11. Organizations) framework is commonly used since it provides useful guidance on how to establish internal controls throughout an organization.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>4. Develop controls to mitigate risks\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The best internal controls are a combination of preventive and detective—ensuring you take a proactive approach to heading off problems, while having reliable processes to detect them early. Typical controls might include performing accounts payable reconciliations and fluctuation analyses on payments and accruals or conducting periodic reviews to ensure compliance with contractual requirements related to timeliness, deliverables, and key performance indicators (KPIs).&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>5. Separate critical duties.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>By dividing responsibility for key tasks among multiple staff members, you eliminate the risk that results when one person has full control of a transaction. Typically, this involves separating custodial duties (the keeping of the asset), authorization\u002Fapproval duties, and recordkeeping duties. It’s best to institute sufficient review layers, with documents reviewed by someone who is more senior than the person who prepared them. And beyond separating duties at the individual level, it’s prudent to do so at the functional level—for example, not allowing the sales department to authorize its own team’s commissions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>6. Tightly control approvals and authorizations.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Financial transaction approvals and authorizations are typically high-risk processes, so be sure your controls limit these tasks to employees with the right level of authority.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>7. Secure physical financial assets and data.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If you keep cash or check stock on hand, store it securely and limit access to it.

Document your controls.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Everyone responsible for implementing your internal controls will need to understand exactly how. That’s why you need to develop documentation that’s complete, detailed, clear, and easy to access, understand, and follow. But internal control documentation doesn’t need to be an exhausting exercise; in fact, it’s likely your company is already doing many of the things that constitute good internal controls. You just need to put in writing what you’re doing, in a way that’s clear and repeatable.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>10.

The Update provides consistency and comparability for all tax equity investments made to receive income tax credits and other income tax benefits by granting entities the option to use the proportional amortization method. The affected equity investments are those made in companies that undertake specific types of development projects encouraged by the US government, in areas such as pollution control, renewable energy, and green technology. As a benefit for undertaking such projects, companies receive tax credits from the US federal tax code and certain state and foreign tax jurisdictions. As there are limited opportunities for companies to use the tax credits, they typically transfer a portion of the tax credits and depreciation deductions generated by the projects to&nbsp; investors in exchange for their investments.

The key criterion for using the proportional amortization method is that investments should be in low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) structures. This limiting criterion resulted in inconsistent reporting on measuring, recognizing, and disclosing equity investments made primarily for receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. Stakeholders argue that other investments in structures that generate income tax credits through tax credit programs other than LIHTC structures serve the same purpose. Hence, the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received should be accounted for consistently with LIHTC projects.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Under the proportional amortization method, at the time of initial investment, the reporting entity recognizes the income tax credits in the financial statements during the year the credit arises. Immediate recognition of income tax credits for the entire benefit of tax credits to be received is prohibited. The amortization amount is the net between the initial investment and any expected residual value of the investment multiplied by the percentage of actual income tax credits and other income tax benefits allocated to the investor in the current period divided by the total estimated income tax credits and other income tax benefits expected to be received by the investor over the life of the investment. In financial statements, the net of income tax expense (or benefit) and the amortized amount is presented in profit or loss.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>The Response: What is the Update?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>To address the abovementioned inconsistency, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments–Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (“ASU 2023-02“ or “Update”), on March 29, 2023.

Also, note that using the proportional amortization method is not required but rather at the entity’s discretion. This is because the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force recognized that the cost of requiring that entities evaluate whether an investment has met the criteria above is not justified by the benefits of investments in certain tax credits. The terms above thus grant the use of the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply such a method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments. As such, an entity must individually evaluate whether an investment qualifies for the proportional amortization method.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Other amendments included in ASU 2023-02 are the removal of specialized guidance in ASU 2014-01 provided to LIHTC investments that are not accounted for using the proportional amortization method. These include guidance indicating that it may be appropriate to apply the cost method to a LIHTC investment and the example related to the impairment of a LIHTC investment accounted for using the equity method.

In fiscal sponsorship, one entity accepts, manages, maintains, and oversees the spend-down of particular restricted funds.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Operational Perspective in Fiscal Sponsorships\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Independent missions might collaborate with another entity to manage, accept, raise, and spend particular contributed funds. In some cases, fiscal sponsors serve as the legal home, handle all finance functions, and are the employer of choice. In others, they simply receive and spend the funds. A fiscal sponsorship agreement typically includes clear terms for exiting the relationship.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Due Diligence in Fiscal Sponsorships\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>One crucial aspect discussed was the importance of due diligence in fiscal sponsorships. This includes evaluating a sponsor’s systems, infrastructure, and growth trajectories to ensure they can accommodate the needs of their sponsees.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Demystifying Fiscal Sponsorship\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Fiscal sponsorship involves a nonprofit sharing its infrastructure with another initiative or community member. This arrangement doesn’t imply less compliance or oversight. All expectations that apply to nonprofits also apply to fiscal sponsors, including keeping the funds for fiscal sponsees separate from their own.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Successful fiscal sponsorship relationships often see both the sponsor and sponsee grow their programs together. Comprehensive fiscal sponsorship can be a long-term, collaborative relationship. The field has seen significant growth, with 73% of fiscal sponsorship programs launching after 2000. Over 70% of surveyed fiscal sponsors offer fiscal sponsorship programming as part of their role.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Why Do Organizations Choose Fiscal Sponsorship?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Even organizations with an existing 501(c)(3) can become fiscal sponsees. Fiscal sponsorship allows access to funds that might not be available until an independent 501(c)(3) is established. It promotes efficiency and reduces overall indirect costs through shared audits and other collaborative management structures. Both fiscal sponsors and sponsees can build equitable, intentional practices, leveraging cultural competencies and trust to empower fiscal sponsees and strengthen infrastructure.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Factors to Consider in Finding the Right Fiscal Sponsor\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>\u003Col>\u003Cli>Mission Alignment: Ensure the fiscal sponsee’s mission fits within the fiscal sponsor’s mission\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Culture and Values: Learn about the fiscal sponsor’s culture and how their values are operationalized.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Support Needs: Define the support you need and what the fiscal sponsor can provide.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Geographic Focus: Consider local or regional fiscal sponsors that meet specific needs.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Program Size: Understand the size of your program in relation to the sponsor’s other projects.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Community Approach: Determine the type of community support needed.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Risk Management: Evaluate the sponsor’s approach to risk and support in addressing and mitigating risks.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Internal Capacity: Assess the fiscal sponsor’s staffing and community support.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Cost Recovery and Exit Expectations: Ensure clear expectations for cost recovery and exiting the relationship.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Fol>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Responsibilities as a Sponsee\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Sponsees must manage donor relationships, fund stewardship, and the fundraising cycle.

Grant delays, funding uncertainty, and rising costs make it more important than ever to budget with flexibility and caution. Satoshi Steimetz emphasized the importance of staying informed during these challenging times. “For us to gauge that risk, we have to have conversations with those that are at risk… We’re engaging with consultants who are experts in the field of federal funding. As things change, we are informed about if that’s good news, bad news, or neutral. So that serves as a foundation for identifying the risks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Marta Kiesling added that nurturing relationships across all revenue channels is vital. “Shoring up those relationships and not only with grant funding but with your other types of charitable revenue channels, major donors, and corporate sponsors is important to make sure you’re in good stead.

Marta highlighted a nonprofit she’d worked with recently on scenario planning. “They hadn’t really thought about the fact that they had excess square footage and excess geographies and where they had their real estate because the demographics had changed. They were just kind of humming along, and now they have to look at things like that,” she said. “So, wherever you can, reconsider where the dollars are going.”\u003Cbr style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Scenario planning is also valuable for uncovering potential gaps in risk and SOX compliance, helping organizations proactively manage both operational and regulatory vulnerabilities.

It’s crucial to approach scaling with strategic intention and financial discipline. “What often triggers rapid expansion is that a source of funding landed in your lap,” explained Satoshi. “But you need to separate the impact of that restricted grant and still understand what your operations are doing for you.” In other words, nonprofits must resist the temptation to scale just because the money is available. Instead, leaders need to evaluate whether the growth opportunity aligns with their core mission and whether your infrastructure can support it long-term.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

It’s also helpful to consult experts in federal or government funding to stay ahead of policy shifts. Internally, regularly review your costs, think about postponing any non-essential spending, and use scenario planning to prepare for different funding outcomes.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>What strategies help us build flexible budgets during uncertain times?\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>Build your budget with conservative revenue projections and be sure to include the full cost of running your organization, not just day-to-day expenses. This means budgeting for liquidity, reserves, and room for reinvestment. Regularly update your budget based on new information from funders and stakeholders. Flexibility comes from developing an informed, scenario-based budget that can evolve and adapt to changes.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>How do we establish and maintain operating reserves for long-term stability?\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>Think of reserves as an investment in your organization’s long-term capacity and stability. You don’t need to build reserves overnight but start by budgeting beyond immediate needs and setting aside a little each year. Communicate the importance of reserves with your board and make it a line item in your annual budgeting process.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>What are some best practices for managing cashflow gaps and accessing lines of credit?\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>Use an 18-month (or longer) cash flow forecast to help you identify and plan for potential gaps. Stay on top of accounts receivable and communicate with funders about payment timelines. If you’re considering a line of credit, look for institutions with nonprofit-specific products and compare terms. In a pinch, consider using reserves or board-designated funds as a short-term bridge].\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Why is revenue diversification important, and how can we achieve it?\u003Cbr>When your fund isn’t tied to just one or two sources, you’re better protected in the event of sudden changes. Start by analyzing your current revenue sources and identify existing supporters or services that can be expanded. You can also explore new channels like donor-advised funds (DAFs), corporate sponsorships, or earned income strategies. Diversification takes time and effort, but even incremental progress can improve your organization’s resilience.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

The conclusion stated that the characteristics of cryptocurrencies meet the definition of indefinite-lived intangible assets and would generally be accounted for under accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. In addition, it emphasized that cryptocurrencies would not meet the definition of other asset classes within generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as described in the following examples:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Cryptocurrencies will not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents as they are not considered as legal tender and are not backed by sovereign governments. \n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Cryptocurrencies will not be financial assets as they do not represent a contractual right to receive cash or another financial instrument.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Cryptocurrencies, though may be held for sale in the ordinary course of business, they are not tangible assets and therefore may not meet the definition of inventory.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">The practice aid also discussed how a company classified as an investment company under ASC 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies would account for investments in digital assets. The conclusion stated that investment companies should determine whether its holdings of cryptocurrencies represent a debt security, equity security, or another investment and apply the guidance in ASC 946-320 for investments in debt and equity securities or ASC 946-325 for other investments. Irrespective of the type of investment, ASC 946 requires an investment company to initially measure its investments at their transaction price, inclusive of commissions and other charges that are part of the purchase transaction. Subsequently, investment companies should measure investments in digital assets at fair value through earnings.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In terms of taxation, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice in 2014 explaining that cryptocurrency as a form of virtual currency is treated as property for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the tax treatment of selling cryptocurrencies is similar to that of selling stocks and equities, hence the tax treatment based on holding periods will apply. In addition, any losses from cryptocurrency sales can be used to offset non-cryptocurrency-related capital gains in a given tax year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>The Issue with Intangible Asset accounting\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">From an accounting perspective, accounting for cryptocurrency as indefinite-lived intangible assets only recognizes negative volatility through impairment. Note that under ASC 350, an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not subject to amortization but should be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired and any subsequent reversal of previously recorded impairment losses is prohibited. As a result, a cost and impairment model for intangible assets does not faithfully represent the economic nature of digital currencies as these currencies generally have actively traded markets. Consequently, financial statements only capture decrease in fair value changes.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a board meeting in October 2020, FASB still decided not to add a project on accounting for digital currencies to its agenda. Meanwhile, Richard R. Jones, FASB Chair, in a virtual interview last March 2021 with CFO.com, mentioned that “The board decided that it hadn’t risen to the level of pervasiveness [where] it should be one of the priorities in our agenda”.

While there may be a temptation to take an aggressive stance related to tax filings, that strategy can lead to tax evasion if you as a business owner are either not knowledgeable on new, evolving regulations – or not careful enough.

The goodwill’s unit of accounting is at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (a component). A component of an operating segment is deemed a reporting unit if it meets the definition of a business in ASC 805, Business Combinations for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\">.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Operating segments or components with similar economic characteristics should be aggregated into one or more reporting units. However, components that are part of different operating segments may not be combined into a single reporting unit. Reportable segments are irrelevant in the determination of reporting units. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units for purposes of the annual or interim impairment assessment and, therefore, identification of an entity’s reporting units is the cornerstone of goodwill impairment testing. \n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the current guidance in ASC 350, goodwill impairment exists when the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. Determining the implied fair value of goodwill follows the same approach as calculating goodwill recognized in a business combination. This measurement process is currently referred to as Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. To perform step 2, an entity must assign a reporting unit’s fair value to all of that unit’s assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. \n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The amendment in ASU 2017-04 changes the concept of impairment from a condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to a condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Accordingly, step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is now eliminated. A goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, over its fair value, which is limited to the allocated total amount of goodwill to that reporting unit.

In such jurisdictions, when a business acquisition takes place, a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recorded based on the variance between the tax basis and the book basis of goodwill. Therefore, the impairment of goodwill would create a cycle of impairment when a reporting unit’s goodwill is tax deductible. This is because the decrease in the book value of goodwill will increase the deferred tax asset (or decreases the deferred tax liability). As a result, the reporting unit’s carrying amount will also increase. However, there is no corresponding increase in the reporting unit’s fair value, which could trigger another impairment test since the carrying amount will again be higher than the fair value because of the effect on the deferred tax asset or liability. \n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To address this issue, the guidance now requires an entity to calculate the impairment charge and the deferred tax effect using a simultaneous equations method comparable to the approach used for measuring goodwill and related deferred tax assets during a business combination.

In this blog, we outline some of the most impactful approaches to simplify four critical financial and tax areas.\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Accounting and Tax\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Biotech companies often face complex tax compliance requirements, including federal, state, and international tax regulations. Automating data gathering, ensuring timely filings, and staying up to date with changing tax laws and incentives will all make staying compliant easier.

This can be complicated for Biotech firms because operations often involve long development cycles, licensing agreements, and milestone payments. In addition, the revenue recognition rules differ for products or services in different development stages. Developing consistent and compliant revenue recognition policies and processes can help you navigate this issue.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Paying attention to cost accounting: \u003C\u002Fb>Proper tracking and allocation of research and development expenses, clinical trials, and manufacturing expenses are vital. Biotech firms need accurate information to determine product profitability and make informed business decisions. Streamline your cost accounting by standardizing costing methods across different projects and departments with consistent guidelines for allocating costs, defining cost pools, and determining cost drivers.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Identifying and tracking Research and Development (R&amp;D) tax credits: \u003C\u002Fb>R&amp;D tax credits can provide significant tax benefits and incentives, and identifying and documenting qualifying R&amp;D expenses is critical. Ensuring compliance with tax regulations and maximizing available R&amp;D tax credits can significantly impact the firm’s tax liabilities and overall financial performance. You can maximize their value and simplify management by identifying eligible R&amp;D expenditures, documenting activities, and establishing systems to capture and track qualifying expenses efficiently.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&amp;A)\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Biotech firms use accurate budgets and forecasts to plan and allocate resources effectively.

By adopting cleaner technologies and more sustainable practices, companies can cut costs, avoid regulatory penalties, and even generate new revenue through carbon markets. Two mechanisms are driving this shift: cap-and-trade programs and carbon taxes. These carbon pricing tools don’t just penalize pollution but also reward innovation, efficiency, and emissions reduction.\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ch2>What is “CAP”, and who sets it?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>A cap on carbon emissions is a fixed allowance that limits companies’ GHG emissions. It pertains to the emissions allowed in an Emission Trading System (“ETS”). This is typically set by the government and shrinks over time, forcing a gradual decrease in overall emissions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Once the cap is set, the government then distributes or auctions tradeable allowances. Often, one unit of allowance is equivalent to one ton of the corresponding emission. The government also decides which GHGs should be prioritized, and which industry sectors will be included in the system.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The government and the system primarily cover industries like power generation, transportation, and energy-intensive sectors (e.g., oil refineries, steelworks, metal production). These industries were prioritized due to their significant greenhouse gas emissions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Cap-And-Trade vs Carbon Tax\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Cap-and-trade and carbon taxes are tools used to combat climate change by reducing GHG emissions, but they take different approaches.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Under a cap-and-trade program, the Companies whose emissions are below their set allowance have the option to sell their unused portion to those companies whose emissions exceeded their initial set allowance. The price for trading off their allowance is dictated based on the supply and demand of the market. Allowing the sale of excess allowances creates a financial reward for companies that reduce their emissions—providing a strong incentive to invest in cleaner technologies, energy efficiency, and sustainable practices. This system encourages the internalization of environmental costs into business operations, making carbon emissions a financial consideration in strategic planning.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In contrast, a carbon tax directly sets a price on emissions. The government establishes a fixed cost per ton of CO2 or other GHGs emitted. Companies then pay this tax directly, increasing the cost of polluting activities. The revenue generated from carbon taxes is allocated to support a range of environmental and energy initiatives. Countries such as the UK, US, Argentina, and Japan have adopted carbon taxes to reduce carbon emissions.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>While a carbon tax sets the price of CO2 emissions and helps the market determine the amount of reduced emissions, a cap-and-trade system sets the quantity of emissions allowed and enables the market to trade based on these allowances.

The EU ETS provides a well-known example of this, where companies that fail to surrender enough allowances face a dual penalty: a €100 fine per ton of excess emissions and the obligation to submit the missing allowances the following year.

This isn’t a temporary cycle; it is a demographic cliff. According to recent industry data, 75% of current CPAs are at or nearing retirement age2. The knowledge base is evaporating. And the pipeline isn’t refilling fast enough. The number of candidates sitting for the CPA exam has dropped significantly, creating a massive gap between demand and supply. Even when you manage to hire an entry-level accountant, attrition remains high: nearly 22% leave within a year3. That means if you hire someone today, there is a one-in-five chance they will be gone within a year. The “churn and burn” hiring model is mathematically broken. You need a different equation.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cbr style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2 style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">The Burnout Trap: Volume vs. Value&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">Your current team isn’t quitting because the work is too hard.

In addition to daily and weekly tasks like accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger maintenance, there are periodic tax filings and financial reporting requirements to meet. Beyond those mandatory accounting tasks, successful organizations also conduct financial analyses, run financial models, and forecast how their financial picture will change over time based on various scenarios. And if you run a CPA firm, you must stay staffed to meet the needs of your current clients and reserve some capacity to continue growing the firm or you risk having to cull your client list, which may not be ideal.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>At the same time that organizations are struggling to find accounting talent, the demands on accounting professionals have become more complex than ever, especially for businesses in highly regulated industries and those that operate across borders.

For example, the accounting labor pool in the Philippines is actually growing and thriving. This reality is causing US-based organizations to look outside their own borders to obtain staff with the right skills, experience, and credentials.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The good news is, it’s easier than ever to tap into a large and growing pool of talented accounting professionals that align with your business’s specific needs. Rather than search for individual candidates one by one—which is time-consuming and often fruitless—many US companies are partnering with a company that has already built up a large, reliable team of skilled accounting professionals and can deliver a high-performing offshore accounting team.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As the name suggests, an offshore accounting team operates remotely and becomes an extension of your internal staff—either augmenting your in-house employees to handle certain accounting tasks or taking on your entire accounting function. Because these teams are set up in countries that boast a highly qualified, highly talented pool of accounting professionals, they provide ready access to the accounting talent that US businesses typically struggle to find domestically.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Since an outsourced accounting provider has access to a much broader group of candidates than you would in the US, the offshore approach makes it easier to hire accounting professionals who have experience in your industry and understand its specific requirements and nuances. For example, a nonprofit organization will want to tap accounting specialists who are accustomed to meeting grant reporting requirements, while a SaaS business needs professionals who know how to properly account for recurring revenue and bring deep SaaS accounting expertise to the table.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Building an offshore accounting team also gives you the flexibility to scale your staff up or down as your needs change—whether on a seasonal or cyclical basis, or as conditions evolve. In contrast, if you build up an internal team of FTEs (assuming you can find them), you will find it very difficult to flex that team to meet fluctuations in demand without laying off and rehiring, which is never preferred.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>Why the Philippines-Based Scrubbed is Your Ideal Offshore Team&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Over a decade ago, Scrubbed recognized that the US was beginning to struggle with staffing the accounting function.

The issue is not the founder’s capability, it’s the model itself. Decision volume outpaces finance capacity, forecasting errors become costlier, and the business becomes too financially interconnected for spreadsheet-based management. The transition is not about giving up control. It is about building the financial infrastructure required to support better decisions at scale.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\">In the early stages of building a company, founders wear every hat by necessity: Head of Product, VP of Sales, Chief Culture Officer. And somewhere around the $2 million to $5 million ARR mark, the CFO hat often still fits. At that stage, the business is simple enough to run on instinct and proximity. You know the cash position without opening a report. You know where the margin is strong and where it is thin. You can spot issues quickly because the operating model is still compact enough to hold in your head. If something changes, you update a spreadsheet, adjust spending, and move. It feels fast. It feels efficient. It feels like control. But as a company moves toward $10 million ARR, founder-led finance usually starts to strain. The title of the role has not changed. The nature of the work has. At first, the cracks are subtle. The monthly close starts drifting. Forecasts take longer to update and feel less reliable. Reporting becomes more reactive than decision-ready. Spreadsheets multiply, then start contradicting each other. Leadership meetings begin with questions about whether the numbers are right instead of what the numbers are saying. And that is usually when founders start blaming themselves. They assume they are no longer good at something they used to handle well. But that is rarely the real issue. The founder is not failing. The finance model is. What worked when the company was smaller is no longer enough to support the pace, complexity, and financial exposure of the next stage.

Here are three reasons why outsourcing to the Philippines can help you deliver great service to your LPs without the overheads of an in-house team:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Expanding Financial Services Sector:\u003C\u002Fb> The financial services sector in the Philippines has been growing rapidly in recent years. As part of this growth, international and domestic private equity firms and investment management companies have been establishing a presence in the country. This expansion creates opportunities for accountants to work in private equity fund accounting and support these organizations.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Global Integration:\u003C\u002Fb> The accounting profession in the Philippines is becoming more globally integrated, aligning with international accounting standards and practices. Private equity fund accounting follows specific standards and reporting requirements, often based on international frameworks like the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Accountants in the country are familiar with these standards and able to provide accurate and reliable financial information for private equity funds.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Career Development Opportunities:\u003C\u002Fb> Filipino accountants are increasingly choosing to specialize in private equity because of the attractive compensation, exposure to high-profile deals, cross-disciplinary skill development and challenging work. It’s a growing and competitive field which ensures PE companies that outsource their work have access to highly educated and motivated talent.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch2>2. Data Security and Compliance\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>&nbsp;The legal and regulatory framework for accounting and finance in the Philippines is well-established and follows international standards. The Philippine government implemented the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), which governs the public and private sectors’ collection, use, and protection of personal information. Additionally, there are rigorous cybercrime prevention and anti-money laundering regulations in place. Outsourcing to the Philippines can provide private equity firms with access to specialized data security expertise and advanced technology infrastructure while ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. The Data Privacy Act of 2012 is aligned with other privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and the General Data Protection Regulation.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Ch2>3. Cost Effectiveness&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>Outsourcing to the Philippines is the way to go for cost-effective outsourcing without sacrificing industry expertise. Thanks to a lower cost of living and a thriving business process outsourcing industry, the country boasts two main advantages that can help businesses cut costs:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Lower labor costs:\u003C\u002Fb> The lower cost of living in the Philippines translates to lower wages for skilled professionals, including accountants. US businesses can access highly skilled accounting professionals at a lower cost than hiring and managing an in-house team. In turn, this translates to significant savings in operating costs, which can then be invested in other areas of the business.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>State-of-the-art infrastructure and technology:\u003C\u002Fb> The Philippines has invested heavily in its infrastructure and technology, providing businesses with state-of-the-art facilities, high-speed internet, and cutting-edge accounting software. By outsourcing to the Philippines, your private equity firm can enjoy access to these tools at a lower cost.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":91,"type":92,"name":93,"data":9770},{"items":9771},[9772],{"url":97,"title":9773,"alt":9773,"description":9774,"link":8,"videoUrl":8},"Outsource your accounting and finance needs to our Philippines-based teams","Scale your firm and maximize funds with Scrubbed's cost-effective outsourced accounting.

Joy, who has spent nearly seven years with the firm, steps into this role following her exceptional performance and strategic contributions as a Senior Manager leading the Professional &amp; Business Services (PBS) team.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>When Joy first took on leadership of the team—then known as Technology &amp; Services (T&amp;S), now the Professional &amp; Business Services (PBS) group—it comprised fewer than 10 professionals primarily supporting early-stage and startup clients. Through her deliberate drive to embrace new opportunities, navigate challenges with resilience, and her intentional focus on strengthening client relationships, developing future leaders, and instilling a strong execution culture, the team steadily scaled in both size and capability. Today, PBS has evolved into a high-performing team of more than 100 professionals, delivering both small and highly complex client engagements across multiple accounting service offerings. This proven ability to build leaders, deepen client partnerships, scale teams, and sustain a high-impact organization is a defining pillar of what earned her this milestone.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Joy’s leadership style is often described as assertive, empowering, and grounded in accountability. Her teams are known for their strong ownership mindset and execution discipline, values she consistently cultivates and models. While her leadership is firmly anchored in clarity and action, it is also strengthened by her ability to build genuine personal connections.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>A lighthearted example of this connection is how colleagues often tag her whenever the firm talks about the aspiration to “Bring Joy to the Workplace,” both because it echoes her name and because it genuinely reflects the energy and positivity she brings to the team. When she later became a mom, her team jokingly began calling her “\u003Cb>mother\u003C\u002Fb>” — a nickname Joy views as a reflection of trust rather than role.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cblockquote style=\"text-align: center;\">“It actually warms my heart,” Joy shares. “To me, it means they see me not just as a leader who sets direction, but someone who brings comfort, support, and a sense of home to the group.\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>This blend of dedication and leadership naturally extends into her new role as Director for SAT5, the firm’s newly established sector accounting team. While the position builds on her leadership of the PBS team, it represents a significant expansion of her scope. Her mandate now covers broader oversight, deeper client partnership, and stronger alignment with the firm’s 5 Key Business Objectives set during the Leadership Summit. Her three priority areas include:\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Leadership and Oversight of the PBS Team\u003C\u002Fb> — Ensuring strong team performance, capability building, and service excellence across all engagements.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Client Relationship Management and Growth\u003C\u002Fb> — Strengthening partnerships with key clients, including one of Scrubbed’s major U.S.-listed clients, which she will continue to focus on growing.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Operational and Strategic Execution\u003C\u002Fb> — Driving operational efficiency and ensuring that SAT5’s initiatives and team outputs are aligned with the achievement of Scrubbed’s 5 Key Business Objectives (KBOs) established during this year’s Leadership Summit.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Moving from a Senior Manager to a Director requires shifting from a team-focused lens to a firm-wide leadership perspective. Joy’s mandate is to deepen client relationships while strengthening team engagement and alignment with the 5 KBOs set in this year’s Leadership Summit. She notes that balancing these requires intentional prioritization, discipline, and strategy.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>What excites her most in this new mandate is the retention of high-performing professionals. Joy intends to explore stronger, more meaningful ways to support, grow, and retain talent across Scrubbed—drawing heavily on her strengths in project management, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. Her ability to structure work, streamline processes, and address challenges proactively has long been a driver of team success, and she plans to leverage these same capabilities to build a more empowered and engaged workforce.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>This focus on people is paired with a clear strategy for technology and operational efficiency. One of the biggest trends and challenges she is preparing her teams and clients to navigate is how to effectively leverage emerging AI tools to drive real efficiency. The goal, she explains, is to remove manual friction, strengthen processes, and free up both clients and teams to focus on higher-value, strategic work.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Reflecting on her journey, Joy recalls the unexpected moment her promotion was announced at the Leadership Summit. As one of the event organizers, she didn’t anticipate the decision would be finalized so soon. “When it was announced, I felt a bit emotional. It was like all the challenges and tough moments I had pushed through flashed back to me in that instant,” she shares, describing a mix of surprise and deep gratitude.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Her commitment to Scrubbed deepened in early 2020 during a U.S. business trip, just as the Philippine lockdown was announced.

Eventually, you’ve come to a point where you find yourself at a crossroads – either you continue to reinvest the company’s earnings to fuel growth, find a partner or investor who can support your plans, and maybe even go the distance with you via an IPO, or maybe you’re ready to cash in on all that hard work and turn the reins over to a new owner. Going through the M&amp;A route means bringing your company under the microscope to these potential investors – you need to convince them your company is worth the money they’ll put in.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

To gain that assurance, they’ll expect to review your financial statements—including income statements (also called the P&amp;L), balance sheets, and cash flow statements for multiple periods—as well as several years of tax returns. Having your numbers ready to be reviewed with all the supporting documentation you can think of will be extremely helpful in the sale process. Your potential investors and their people doing the due diligence will certainly appreciate it, and it can also help expedite the process for you. In certain cases, they might also ask for your company’s financial forecasts, which may entail you sitting down with a corporate finance advisory expert to help build the financial model you’ll present to investors.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

Lastly, understanding the company’s cost structure enables you to ascertain if there are any economies of scale that the company has capitalized on, or is yet to take advantage of.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cspan style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ;\">\u003Cb>Debt-to-Equity Ratio. \u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fspan>Your debt-to-equity ratio gives buyers a sense of how your business is using debt to finance its operations.

Without an effective planning process in place, businesses can wind up paying more than necessary in taxes, funds that otherwise could have gone toward business operations expenses and capital investments. For businesses today, one of the biggest challenges related to tax planning is finding the right tax professional early enough in the taxable year to help ensure that planning processes move forward smoothly and are beneficial financially. Typically, businesses start their tax planning during fourth quarter, which they believe leaves them ample time to implement the plan – but this may not be the case. When constructing your tax plan, it is important to ensure that you are operating your business and reporting your financials in compliance with all governing tax laws. While there may be a temptation to take an aggressive stance related to tax filings, that strategy can lead to tax evasion if you as a business owner are either not knowledgeable on new, evolving regulations – or not careful enough. As taxpayers, we all have a responsibility to contribute to our society. For businesses, that contribution comes, in part, in the form of taxes.\u003Ch2>\u003Cbr>Why Outsource&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As a best practice, business owners should consider outsourcing their tax planning and should allow the tax professionals they select to guide them appropriately throughout the process to minimize the financial risks involved. Through an outsourcing model, your management team will gain access to proactive tax advising and planning experts who can ensure that your company remains compliant, stays on top of ever-changing regulations, and looks for opportunities to reduce your tax burden in every legal way possible. Businesses owners should consider outsourcing other corporate finance processes as well, including budgeting, fractional CFO services, and general accounting services. This is especially beneficial for industries with specialized needs, such as those requiring biotech accounting services or SaaS accounting expertise, where producing audit-ready management reports demands deep sector knowledge. Selecting the right tax planning partner can be complicated as there are many firms to choose from, each with its own areas of expertise and fee structure. As a general rule, businesses should look for a partner they trust. That means doing your due diligence when evaluating contractors and accounting firms to ensure that they have a solid track record of success, references who can vouch for their work, a good reputation, and credibility in the industry overall. As part of your due diligence efforts, be sure to also ask potential tax planning advisors how aggressive they are willing to be when developing your plan. Every business is different, and every business owner’s tolerance for risk is different. These factors should be brought out in open and honest discussions that will set the precedent for the kind of ongoing communication you will want to have going forward.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch2>Why Partner with Scrubbed&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>At Scrubbed, we handle tax planning and a range of other financial services for hundreds of businesses worldwide.

As these stakeholders “vote with their wallets” by purchasing sustainable products and services and investing in values-based companies, regulators are responding with efforts to standardize ESG reporting frameworks.

Often, governments allow tax credits or assess tax penalties related to a company’s adoption (or failure to adopt) sustainable, environmentally sound practices. For instance, the Inflation Reduction Act in the US, passed in August 2022, provides production tax credits for solar energy companies, investment tax credits for energy storage technologies, and many other clean energy tax provisions. It’s vital to know whether your business is eligible for ESG-related tax credits and how they might affect your financials.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv style=\"--tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0;
