What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building a combined software and services platform that helps small businesses manage their finances. It integrates bookkeeping, accounting, and tax preparation in one place, so startups and small companies can track their cash flow, understand financial health, and file taxes without needing separate providers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with team members remote as well. After YC, we'll keep the company based where we are now, leveraging both cities and remote team members.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our presence in San Francisco and Los Angeles lets us tap into different talent pools and serve clients on both coasts. Remote work gives us access to a broader team too.
