A real-world playbook for growth-stage companies that need investor-grade reporting without the overhead.

The Problem Most Founders Don’t See Until It’s Too Late…

When you’re scaling fast, it’s easy to prioritize product and fundraising and assume accounting can wait.

But messy financials don’t just slow you down. They:

• Erode investor trust
• Burn out internal teams
• Kill momentum right when you need it most

That’s exactly where Optable Technology found themselves:

• 10 employees. Pre-revenue. No finance infrastructure.
• Just ambition – and a whole lot of spreadsheets.

The Breaking Point

Despite hiring a sharp internal CFO, growth was outpacing their systems.
He was spending hours chasing transactions, building reports, managing payroll, and answering vendor emails  instead of raising capital or modeling their next round.

The founder knew they didn’t need more software. They needed a partner who could run finance like a department — not a deliverable.

Enter Tech C: The Scalable Finance Partner

Here’s how we helped Optable build a finance foundation that grew with them:

Step 1: Operational Offload

• Daily bookkeeping and reconciliations
• Accounts payable and vendor management
• Full payroll and HR administration

Step 2: Investor-Grade Reporting

• Monthly IFRS-compliant financials
• Budget vs actuals + trendline insights
• “CFO-friendly” reporting built to make decisions, not just meet compliance

Step 3: Strategic Empowerment

• Freed the CFO to focus on fundraising and modeling
• Delivered accurate reports within days of month-end

Created a fully scalable back office — no sick days, hiring delays, or internal training required

The Results

From day one, we provided the founder with complete financial clarity, allowing him to focus entirely on growth. When a CFO joined, they stayed focused on high-value strategy while we handled all the accounting infrastructure.
