The finance function your Series A expects. Built before the term sheet lands.
Saturn BPO gives startups a controller who runs ASC 606 revenue recognition and closes the books, and a fractional CFO who owns MRR/ARR, burn and runway, and the board and diligence packages your investors expect. Clean books and deferred revenue are step one. The finance function is the point.

Works with the tools you already run
What every SaaS founder pays for later.
The hidden tax of running on a $200/mo bookkeeper with no one owning the numbers. Every line below costs real money at the next raise.
Revenue recognized wrong
Booked when charged, not earned. Deferred revenue ignored. Your P&L lies.
No one owns burn and runway
MRR sheet doesn't match the books. No forecast. Your board can tell, and so can every investor.
ASC 606? "What's that?"
Common answer pre-Series A. Costs real money during diligence at the next round.
Equity off the balance sheet
Founder stock, SAFEs, convertible notes. Cap table and books drift apart.
Year-end redone by investors
Their accountant rebuilds the financials. Billed back to you, of course.
Term sheet → 6 weeks of cleanup
Diligence can't open until your books match reality. Closes slip.

Before Saturn BPO
- Stripe charges = revenue (no deferred treatment)
- MRR/ARR in a sheet your CFO doesn't trust
- SAFEs and notes never on the balance sheet
- Year-end requires a $15K cleanup from an outside CPA
- Term-sheet diligence = 6 weeks of panic
After Saturn BPO
- ASC 606 revenue recognition baked into the close
- MRR/ARR tied to the GL (one source of truth)
- Equity, SAFEs, and notes properly on the balance sheet
- Board-ready financials with MRR, burn, and runway
- Diligence-ready every quarter, not just at fundraise time
