About us
We think like founders, not bookkeepers
Bookkeeping is slow, outsourced and provides little real insight. Startups with real-time financial visibility move faster, stay aligned with investors and make better decisions. That's why we built De Startup Accountant, bringing speed, clarity and control to startup finances.
Zero backlog, ever. Fully automated bookkeeping so your books never lag behind.
Data-driven dashboards instead of spreadsheets.
Accurate and verified, with daily checks that keep your data reliable.
A note from our founder
At No Five Trees I guided startups through funding rounds for years, and I kept seeing the same problem. Founders making big decisions on numbers that were weeks old. The bookkeeping wasn't wrong, just too slow to be useful.
I started De Startup Accountant to fix that. Every founder deserves to run their company on real, up-to-date numbers, not gut feel and stale spreadsheets.
We treat your books like our own: fresh every day, verified, and ready the moment an investor asks. That's the company I wanted to exist, so we built it.
