About us
A strategic finance partner for early-stage founders.
heliosops. was built to give early-stage founders the kind of finance leadership that's usually reserved for later-stage companies — strategic finance, investor-grade metrics and decision-ready signals that shape every call before it's made.
Our story
Why we built heliosops.
Building a company is hard enough. Most early-stage founders are also managing the finance operations, running fundraising sprints, maintaining data rooms and trying to figure out if the numbers tell the right story.
We built heliosops. for that founder — the one who wants to focus on building their business and know that finances are handled.
We handle it all — accounting, reporting, financial operations and strategic finance — or step in where you need us most. Senior finance judgment on everything that matters. CFO-level clarity at a price your stage can afford.

High-growth, early-stage startups need more than a bookkeeper or tax compliance. They need a CFO who's comfortable in the operational details — someone who can roll up their sleeves, speak the investor language, drive the operational metrics and build the financial infrastructure that gets you to your next raise.
Subha has spent her career doing exactly that — building finance functions at high-growth tech companies from early-stage through IPO, across healthtech, B2B SaaS, PLG, and vertical software. She's done 0→1 Strategic Finance builds at companies backed by Insight Partners, Bessemer, Khosla, Bain Capital, ICONIQ, and Battery Ventures.
But she's also doubled up as Chief of Staff. Setting company goals, negotiating vendor contracts, building billing systems, standing up the finance stack, and sitting in the rooms where operational decisions actually get made.
That's the HeliosOps model. We run the finance operations every startup needs — so you can stay focused on building your business.
