Whether you’re preparing for an IPO or trying to manage the growth of your startup, you’ll likely need the help of financial experts. If your company is financially healthy, it’s easier to expand and entice investors. Several of Inc.’s Power Partners offer services that can help keep your company finances in top shape. For some, that means providing financial peace of mind for their clients. Bombas, the New York City-based sustainable sock company, uses Atlanta-based business advisory and accounting firm Aprio’s tax services. Bombas says that with that help, it now feels “significantly more confident in our income and sales/use tax compliance.” If you want to keep track of equity, cap tables, and valuations yourself, there are software solutions that can help compile your filings in one place. Dan Barton, of Cypress, Texas-based Barton CPA, says San Francisco-based Eqvista’s platform is “surprisingly intuitive” when it comes to managing complex cap tables, 409A valuations, and equity planning, even for professional advisers like himself. Several of Inc.’s Power Partners also help companies navigate their investments. Chicago-based SomerCor helps provide Small Business Administration loans. SomerCor made the SBA loan process easier for Yorkville, Illinois-based landscape company Semper Fi Land Services, streamlining the process of finding its best option.
