In addition, we serve capitalized startups and technology-enabled businesses, including SaaS, AI service providers, and e-commerce, where the work is investor reporting, unit economics, and revenue recognition.We run a three-tier delivery model: a US relationship layer, a remote operations layer, and an offshore delivery team.
