Finance Operations for Startups Ready to Scale

CFO clarity without the full-time hire or the price tag.

AI on the repetitive work. Humans on the strategy.

Why us?

The three pains every early-stage, high-growth founder knows — and how heliosops. solves each.

Pain 01

By the time most founders think about their next raise, they're already late.

The metrics that matter for your next round — growth trajectory, retention, gross margin, unit economics — get built month by month, from day one.

heliosops. starts tracking the metrics that matter, surfaces the right signals and helps you reach the financial milestones your next round will demand.

Pain 02

As your business grows, every decision has a financial implication.

New pricing model. International expansion. Key hires. Each one sounds like a growth decision — until it touches your books, your billing system, and your financial model all at once.

heliosops. keeps one CFO coordinating across every dimension — so the books stay clean, systems reflect business reality.

Pain 03

A cobbled-together finance stack doesn't scale — gaps compound.

Disconnected systems, multiple Google Sheets, no single source of truth. By the time an issue surfaces, you have a cash crunch, a compliance gap or a metric that unravels in diligence.

heliosops. guides and sets up the right finance stack for your stage. Our AI layer consolidates key financial data and metrics in one place, so you get answers to your financial questions without the spreadsheet dig.

What you get with heliosops.

Four outcomes every founder needs.

Clean Books

Monthly close in days, not weeks. Reconciled accounts, clean audit trail and a data room that's ready before investors ask — not the week they do.

Clear Metrics

The KPIs investors ask about — ARR, gross margin, retention, CAC, burn — visible in real time. And the insights that keep you on track for your next raise.

Calibrated Stack

Right finance stack for your stage — billing, accounting, and reporting systems that scale with your business and stay in sync as it grows.

Confident Fundraises

Investor-grade metrics, built on industry-standard definitions. Financials your investors will trust on the first pass.

Flexible by design — we bring our own bookkeepers, accountants, tax partners or coordinate seamlessly with yours.
