FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How Flare works for pre-seed to Series A companies.
This stage
Pre-seed to Series A companies that need a clean monthly close, tax filed in-house and a pack that will stand up in a raise — without building a finance team yet.
If you are very early with small expenses, a less regular cadence can work — but you will need accurate books to file state and federal returns. Once you raise, monthly close becomes the baseline investors expect.
Yes. Series A fundraising support is part of the suggested scope: investor-ready numbers, diligence prep and data room support when the round starts.
Working with Flare
We can set you up from scratch or pick up from an existing accountant and start delivering in the first month. Onboarding includes a historic review so we are not building on gaps.
Yes. State and federal returns are prepared and filed by Flare's tax team rather than handed to an external preparer who does not know the company.
