    Founders, ever feel like you're juggling flaming chainsaws while riding a unicycle... blindfolded? Yeah, running a startup is pretty much that, but with more spreadsheets. At some point, you might find yourself staring at those spreadsheets at 3am, reconciling bank statements and maybe having a bit of an existential crisis (completely unrelated). That's usually the point we recommend you start thinking about bringing in some financial muscle. Speaking of which, here are 5 reasons why some of our founders opt for a fractional #CFO. Remember, a good fractional CFO is like a financial Swiss Army knife - versatile, handy, and surprisingly compact (spreadsheet-wise, at least). Curious about how this might work for your startup? Drop a comment or shoot us a message. We're always up for a chat about the wild world of #startup #accounting.

    Let's talk about a different kind of freedom. Remember when you first learned to count? Suddenly, the world made more sense. You could measure things, compare them, make choices based on what you knew. That's what numbers do. They give us the freedom to understand our world. Managing household budget, planning for retirement, simply deciding if that sale really is a good deal. And it's not just personal finance. Numbers help us make sense of the news, the world, they help us participate more meaningfully in our democracy. At myStartUpCFO, we're committed to empowering you with the financial insight you need to make informed decisions. Because true freedom isn't just about what we're allowed to do - it's about having the knowledge to do it wisely. #IndependenceDay

    Founders, ever feel like your accountant's speaking Klingon? We get it. You're busy chasing unicorn dreams, not decoding financial jargon. But your vision and our numbers are two sides of the same coin: both matter for your startup's success. Time to bridge that gap. We've cooked up some unofficial, snarky "ELI5" versions of common accounting terms. Swipe through. Disclaimer: these are still pending approval from the International Accounting Standards Board. Which accounting terms should we demystify next? Tell us in the comments! #Accounting #fun #jargon

    While we are and always will be pro-flexibility (what can beat the three-minute commute in your favorite sweatpants?), it is worth acknowledging that sometimes we miss the in-person camaraderie. That's why we gathered across Bangalore, Chandigarh, and Delhi, swapping virtual backgrounds for real ones. We traded emojis for genuine smiles, discovered that our colleagues are, in fact, more than just floating heads on a screen, and left energised and inspired! While we still love our three-minute commutes, who knew putting on real pants could be so rewarding? #TeamMeet #TeamBuilding #Remote #Culture

    Friday stories from inside Leen: This isn't so much a story as it is an expression of gratitude. I want to give a heartfelt s/o to the following people & their firms, without whom, this path would have been much more challenging. First off, building a company is a long, lonely journey. You can't do it all by yourself. Behind every founding team, there's an army of superstars helping them quietly in the background. I'm not just talking about team members & our investors, but also the vendors, lawyers, real estate agents, designers, friends, mentors, advisors, etc. who give shape to the chaos. We've been extremely fortunate to have met some fantastic people along the way. Many of them have become friends, in addition to our working relationship. So today, I want to take a moment to shine a light on the rockstars who have been & continue to be, instrumental in steering our ship (in no particular order). * Sreya Das at Rippling (best onboarding & support experience - I've annoyed her so much with my 'silly' Qs & always received a patient & timely response) * 🍌 Joumana Elomar at Skale (our rockstar web designer - we look good thanks to you) * Kevin K. Rooney, Julianne Orr & Nicole Mondani at Cooley LLP (our corporate counsel) * Bardia Housman & Stephen Weir at StartupHQ (our super friendly workspace owners) * Bob Finnell (our go-to for legal advice - Bob's a legend!) * Sandeep Shroff, Iranna H & Meghana M at myStartUpCFO (making bookkeeping effortlessly easy - and what a great set of people to work with) * Bhalchander Vishwanath, Bruce Pendrey & Tom Alcock (for supporting us through recruitment & great advice on building culture) * Michael Serotte, Raghavan Nagarajan, Dana Quinn Adams at Serotte Law Firm, LLC (ensuring my team & I can legally work in the United States) * Rakesh Tondon (helping with YC appl & general founder advice) * Prajit Nanu (for giving us an office space when we didn't have any money) * Semin Yoo (giving life our product designs & architectures) * Aditya Nambiar (who 'accidentally' introduced us to our future investors) * Aditya Agrawal at Hustlemad (for making our fab looking merch) * Richi Parasrampuria & Sindhu Upadhyay Wadhwa (for being the best mental health coaches) * Dhawal Thakker, Shreesha Ramdas, Ashok Kakani, Rahul Kayala, Amol Walvekar, Suhas Motwani, Jitesh Luthra, Nikhil Jois, Ranjan R Reddy (for invaluable advice & making countless introductions) It doesn't stop here. LinkedIn only allows me to tag a certain number of people on one post. However, I will make it a point to periodically and publicly recognize & thank the wonderful people who continue to help build Leen. It's been a pleasure working with each and everyone of you, and please continue to support us 😊 (pardon the terrible handwriting!) #Leen #FridayStoriesFromInsideLeen #UnifiedAPI #Security #Cybersecurity

    We believe that supporting our team members' personal and professional goals is the key to building a thriving, productive work environment. This philosophy has been central to our culture, and we're proud to highlight the story of Meghana, a valued member of our team, to showcase how our flexible approach has made a difference in her life. "As a working mom and caregiver, life can feel like a constant tightrope walk. In addition to my professional role, I'm also a devoted mother to my 3-year-old son and a loving daughter caring for my elderly parents. It's a lot to balance, but the support I've found at myStartUpCFO has been truly life-changing. I recently found myself engrossed in a challenging project one evening, completely losing track of time. The next morning, my manager sent a message – not a reprimand, but a friendly nudge asking if everything was alright! It was a small gesture, but it perfectly encapsulated the culture here. We're trusted to manage our time effectively, and encouraged to prioritize our well-being. I'm so grateful to be part of a company that recognizes the importance of work-life balance and goes above and beyond to support its employees. If you're looking for an environment that will empower you to be your best self, both in and out of the office, then myStartUpCFO is the place for you." #EmpowerHER #FlexibleWork #Remote

    Work shouldn't define you, it should empower you. We champion a work-life balance that fosters well-rounded individuals. Hear from Sneha about how our remote work model helped her achieve her dreams outside the office. "Nine years ago, I landed a job at msCFO that changed the trajectory of my life. It wasn't just the work itself – although that's stimulating and rewarding – but the revolutionary concept of a fully remote, flexible schedule. Fast forward to today, and I'm a testament to the power of that flexibility. I'm a proud working mom, actively engaged in my child's life. But that's not all. Being at home has allowed me to become a passionate advocate for sustainability in my community. I'm currently working with the municipal authority on initiatives for sustainable menstruation practices, waste pickup, water conservation. My family even received a sustainable home award! I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the forward-thinking culture at msCFO. For anyone seeking a workplace that values both your professional goals and your personal aspirations, look no further!" #EmpowerHER #FlexibleWork #WorkLifeBalance
