Welcome to the Family!

Thanks for joining Finch, PC, we’re glad to have you part of the family.

Below you’ll see the roadmap we created outlining the transition process that you can expect when having us join your team. The road map will take you from the initial onboard call to what life with Finch, PC will be like over the next few months (and beyond).

LET’S GET STARTED

Expected Time Frame: This one’s on you!

To get started, let’s have you schedule the “onboard call”. The onboard call is where we talk with you in greater detail of your current accounting structure and tasks, and discuss a good transition plan for us to take over that responsibility.

Pick a few days/times that would be good for you at finch.co/meeting. We can use our conference line and it should take about 1 hour.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Expected Time Frame: Should be no more than a few weeks.

After the onboard call, we’ll send you a list of “to dos”. This “to do” list will be a recap of everything we’ll need for us to take over your accounting and finances.

You can send us the needed items and information one by one or all at once. We’ll be keeping track and reach out along the way as we are trying to keep ourselves on a timeline. Ideally, this will take about a week or two, but for some clients it could take longer (depending on various circumstances).

WE START WORKING!

Expected Time Frame: The first month of bookkeeping.

Now that we have everything we need, we get to work! The first thing we’ll do is provide an initial email letting you know our expected timeline to get everything up to speed.

The first month we take over, you won’t hear from us much because we’ll be busy learning your organization by booking entries, analyzing your financials, and preparing your first monthly report.

At the end of the first month, we may reach out to you as a recap of our month’s work… we’re going to have a list of transactions for you asking for your help in clarifying how those transactions should be booked. 

*This may be a long list… don’t worry! In the beginning, we are learning your organization – kind of like a new employee – so as we go through time, these lists will become shorter and shorter.

YOUR FIRST REPORT

Expected Time Frame: The month after we’re fully onboarded.

Once we’re fully up and running, we will use our time during the first month to build out notes, training documents, and other various systems needed, in lieu of your first Finch report. Therefore, you can expect to have a gap in getting a Finch report for your first month after onboarding. Once we get you the first Finch report, our plan is to deliver monthly financials on the 15th of each month!

While we are working hard to ensure a smooth transition, the first Finch report may be more of a “work in progress” as there may be notes and feedback you have for us that will alter our work up to this point. If this is the case, do not fret as one or two iterations going back and forth will get us to the right spot for all future reports.

You’ll receive an email alert every time we upload the prepared financials to the Finch App, along with a quick link, if you’d like to schedule a call to review the report. In the Finch App, you’ll find your current and all historical Finch Reports for your easy view and downloading!

WE KEEP WORKING…

Expected Time Frame: The second month and beyond!

From here forward, we’ll continue doing what we’re good at! We encourage you to reach out anytime you have a question or need something. Here are some additional things we’ll keep going every month we’re on your team!
