Our mission is to help growth-stage businesses turn financial data into insights.
Like traditional accounting firms, we handle the basics: bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and financial statements. Unlike traditional firms, we go beyond “beans and books” and developed a one-stop digital accounting solution.
Our Core Values

Forward-looking matters. We believe in challenging the status quo in accounting by using technology and disruptive thinking.

Focus on the Client
Creating value is essential. Assisting our clients in order to achieve outstanding results, we are proactive and responsive to facilitate the best decisions.
Be Transparent
We are committed to demonstrating our expertise by remaining clear and straightforward.
Education is Paramount
We’re lifelong students of tax law and technology.
About Our Founder, Rob Pasquesi
Rob wanted to design an accounting firm around the unique needs of entrepreneurs. From his own experience launching ventures NextIntro and FounderPrep, he realized that many of the best tools were often out of reach for growth-stage businesses. By using emerging technology and combining that with years of accounting experience, Rob found that every-sized business could unlock significant growth insights without needing to hire an in-house analytics team.
Rob started his career at Deloitte and later worked at Grant Thornton, where he spent 14 years working closely with business owners, CFOs, and controllers addressing their accounting, tax, and financial needs.
He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Boston College and a Masters of Business Administration from DePaul University’s Kellstadt School of Business. Rob is a licensed CPA in Illinois and he is also a member of the Illinois CPA Society and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Rob lives in Chicago with his wife, daughter, and dog and is an avid marathoner who loves training along Lake Michigan during the summer and playing tennis and golf.
