Why founders choose us

One team that grows with you

Embedded, not outsourced

Your books reflect how your business actually runs — because we're in it with you, not filing from a distance.

Investor-ready by default

Data rooms, board decks, a CFO in the room. You're always ready for the next conversation with investors.

One team, many hats

Bookkeeping, senior analysis and CFO strategy — from the same people who already know your numbers.

Flexible by design

Package, à la carte, or project. We flex to your stage — not the other way around.

How it works

From hello to hands-on in four steps

1

Discovery call

We learn your business, your pain points, and where you want to go.

2

Proposal

A tailored plan — scope, deliverables, pricing, and timeline.

3

Kickoff

We sign, meet the team, and map out your first 90 days together.

4

Onboarding

We plug into your tools and get straight to work.

The team

The people in your corner

Hover to say hello — tap a face for the full story.

Aura Startup Partners Incubator

We don't just advise founders. Sometimes we back them.

Each year we take on a small number of founders and give them the full Aura suite — finance, strategy, structuring, product and go-to-market — plus hands-on mentorship. No cash fees: we come in as equity partners and build alongside you. An idea is welcome, but not required — conviction is enough to start the conversation.

1

Bring what you have

An idea, a prototype, or just the drive to build. Reach out.

2

Sit down with us

We talk through the vision, the market and where you're stuck.

3

Selection

If it's a fit on both sides, we agree terms and an equity stake.

4

Build together

Full finance, strategy, product and GTM support — hands-on.

5

Grow as partners

We stay in it with you as the company scales.
