Every startup needs 3 bank accounts:
1️⃣ Primary checking account that covers all operating expenses
2️⃣ Money-market account to earn interest on excess cash
3️⃣ Secondary account with a different bank in case of emergencies

CJ’s newsletter is one of the few I read religiously. Highly recommend reading the below subscribing.
TLDR on this post - Don’t chase rabbits while expecting elephant-level retention to justify a deer-sized CAC payback time

You need a good bookkeeping & tax firm at pre-seed
You need a fractional CFO after seed, before Series A
You need a full-time CFO or VP finance around Series B-C

Redecorating houses is fun, but not critical
Fixing plumbing & HVAC issues is annoying, but essential
For startups, accounting & taxes are like plumbing & HVAC. You’d rather get new wallpaper than hire someone to look behind the drywall, but you’ll regret it if a pipe bursts.

Here’s why taxes matter when your startup isn’t profitable:
1) your future self doesn’t want to fight IRS notices or pay penalties
2) certain tax policies are supposed to carry over - today’s choice impacts tomorrow’s bill
3) you cannot miss R&D tax credit opportunities

As the holiday season concludes, it’s important to remember that bonuses are usually taxed at a higher rate than salary in the US. Give raises, not bonuses.
Happy new year!

There are two things almost every VC-backed startup can do to earn “free money”:
1) Earn interest on excess cash
2) Take advantage of R&D tax credits

Having clean financials before you raise helps to facilitate easier VC conversations and unlock higher valuations.
Also, this VC was a little rude but at least they were straightforward. Better than a “too early” or ghosting.

Founders and VCs: what metric do you equate with Burn? 🔥
We talk about “Burn” all the time, but there is no standard formula to calculate it. I find these four accounting metrics are used most commonly, but sound off in the replies if you do something different.
67%
Net income
0%
Net operating income
33%
Change in cash balance

TLDR:
1) Each funding round should be its own line item
2) Same for each debt facility (incl SAFEs). Breakout between short- and long-term liabilities.
3) Monitor AR closely. If it’s always growing you have a problem.
4) Know whether R&D / product dev expenses are capitalized

Is Accounts Receivable an overlooked diligence metric for VCs? @panthony92 seems to think so 🔽
17 May 2024
Tip for VCs: pay close attention to accounts receivable (AR) on a startup’s balance sheet.
AR is technically an asset (customer owes you money!), but a high/growing balance is a big red flag for me. Here’s why:
