Our take

Founding a startup is no mean feat, with huge financial and business operations to oversee. Fondo founder David J Phillips has experienced this firsthand, and his newest venture Fondo aims to ease the burden for other startups.

Its essentially an accounting service for startups - send Fondo your documents and they’ll look after everything else, from standard federal and state corporate income tax to 5471, 5472 and FBAR forms for startups with a Delaware C Corp Parent and Foreign Subsidiary. Where it stands out is in its offer of claiming tax credits for startups in the form of cash back from the IRS. Of its 300+ customers, the average cash is roughly $21,000.

It operates within a busy market, but its specific focus on startups and promise of cashflow back into the company marks Fondo out from the crowd in its own niche area.
