In their words
Founders Anelya has worked with — from first books through acquisition. More on LinkedIn →
“Anelya's firm was a great bookkeeping partner for Render (render.com) from the seed stage all the way to when we brought accounting in-house. Given their extensive experience with seed and Series A startups, AG Accounting is a great choice for early-stage founders.”
“Anelya was our first accounting partner when we launched Disco back in 2014. She was instrumental in helping us build out the foundation of our books and an incredible thought partner as we grew and scaled our business. Without Anelya, I don't believe we would have had the right pieces in place to support the diligence through Disco's acquisition.”
“Anelya and her team have been excellent to work with from founding up through 100+ team members. The goal with an early stage startup is to keep the founders working on the business, not dealing with admin, and I couldn't ask for a better partner than Anelya in that regard.”
“Anelya is the best. We never had to worry about the books, because Anelya and her crack team always had things taken care of (and way ahead of schedule). She made all of our work lives much easier — allowing us to focus on our company, team, business, customers, and product. I can't recommend Anelya highly enough for any and all of your financial needs.”
“Not only did she take care of every accounting task for me, but she referred me to great tax accountants, consulted me on best practices, and has been incredibly responsive whenever I have any questions or want to hop on any calls. We've been working with her now for a year and I hope to work with her for the next ten years. I can't recommend her services enough.”
“Anelya is amazing to work with. She gets startups, how they operate. If you ever get a chance to work with her, take it.”
“Anelya has been a pleasure to work with over the past 3 years. Her team has handled all of our accounting and are incredibly responsive. I'd highly recommend her to any new SaaS company.”
“Anelya is an efficiency machine. Always on the cusp of the latest solutions, she has dramatically streamlined the finance function by integrating multiple platforms. She's a pleasure to work with and delivers flawlessly. I highly recommend Anelya for any start-up looking to scale.”
