They occasionally suggest extra financial automation tools that feel like overkill for our current size, though they are never pushy about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding was a bit of a heavy lift because they require a lot of historical documentation to ensure accuracy. I also think their client portal could be a bit more modern to match the high-end tech stacks we use in the security sector. However, the quality of their strategic financial advice far outweighs these minor friction points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that they don't just act like accountants; they act like strategic partners. For a software-focused consultancy, their R&D tax credit expertise was a massive win for us.

I like that they act as a true strategic partner rather than just an outsourced bookkeeping firm.

The onboarding process felt a bit manual at the start, as they require a lot of documentation to clean up historical data.

We are a biotech startup and raising money was taking all our time. We had a bookkeeper but no one to help with strategy. K 38 came in and built a financial model that we actually used for investor meetings. They helped us figure out our burn rate and how long our runway would last under different scenarios. The R&D tax credit work was a big deal too because we spend a lot on research and development. They filed for credits that gave us back a good chunk of cash. I also like that they use modern tools. Everything is in the cloud and we can see dashboards anytime without asking them for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel like they are juggling too many clients. Not that they ignore us but there were a couple times where I had to follow up twice to get an answer. It was never anything urgent though. Also their pricing is not super transparent on the website. You have to get on a call with them to get a real quote. That was fine for us but I can see how some people might want to see numbers upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What surprised me most is that they dont just talk about big corporate finance stuff that doesnt apply to us. We are a mid sized construction company and our old accountant never really got our business. K 38 took the time to learn how we operate. They helped us with cash flow which is always a struggle in construction because payments come in late. They also set up better job costing so we finally know which projects are actually making money. The tax side was a bonus they found some credits related to our equipment and software that we had missed for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would say is that you need to be ready to share a lot of information upfront. That is probably true with any CFO service but it felt a little intense at first. They ask for bank statements, contracts, expense details, everything. I get why they need it but just be prepared. Also they are not the cheapest option out there but you get what you pay for.

The cost segregation and R&D credit work was huge for us. We are in manufacturing and they found credits we did not even know we qualified for. I also like that it is not just tax help. They help with regular CFO stuff like forecasting and margin analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communication can be a little informal at times. That is fine by me but some of our execs expected more big firm polish. Also their website makes it sound like they do everything but they are best for companies over maybe 2 million in revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
