HomeWho we serveBuffalo Startups
Finance & operations for Buffalo & WNY startups

Just funded? We'll run your finance and operations.

You raised the round, joined the cohort, or moved to Buffalo to build, now you need books that hold up to a board and a CPA, and the systems behind them running smoothly. Finsightic gives you clean books from day one, a monthly close you can trust, burn and runway you can actually see, and the back-office operations to support it, all for a fixed monthly fee from a local Western New York team.

Where can we help you right now?

Buffalo rates. Silicon Valley standards.

We help venture-backed startups across the country, from Silicon Valley to right here in Buffalo, run their finance and operations.

The same caliber of finance and ops support the best-funded startups rely on, without coastal overhead baked into your bill.

Built for newly funded startups

Everything your finance and operations need on day one

Fresh capital comes with new expectations, from investors, from your board, and from the CPA who will file your return. We stand up the whole finance and operations back office so you can put the money to work, not into spreadsheets.

Day one

Bookkeeping & chart of accounts

Books set up correctly from your first transaction, with a chart of accounts built for how your startup actually operates, SaaS, AI, healthtech, CPG, or hardware, not a generic template.

Every month

Monthly close, burn & runway

Every account reconciled and the period closed on a predictable cadence, with net burn and months of runway tracked at each close, so your numbers say the same thing every month and you always know how long the round lasts.

For the board

Investor- & board-ready reporting

A clean P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow each month, formatted the way investors and boards expect to read them, so updates and diligence are never a fire drill.

Tools & systems

Tech stack set up & integrated

We select, configure, and connect the right tools across your whole stack, sales and revenue, finance and accounting, HR and people systems, plus the automations between them, so your software actually supports how the company runs.

Process & SOPs

Workflows mapped & documented

We audit and map your workflows end to end, redesign them for less manual work, document them as SOPs, and automate the repeatable tasks, so the business stops living in the founder's head.

Cadence & team

Vendors, payroll & operating cadence

We coordinate vendors, run payroll across states, and keep spend and bill pay moving, then run a weekly operating cadence and set up hiring and onboarding, so the back office runs without the founder.

What you get back

Finance and operations, handled

Every month we close the books and track burn and runway, and behind the scenes we set up your tools, document how the work gets done, and run the operating cadence. Switch between the two:

Why a Buffalo-based team

A finance & operations partner that actually knows Western New York

We are built in Buffalo and know the Western New York startup landscape, and we run everything remotely, so you get local context that fits the way you already work.

A US-based team, in your hours

Your finance and operations are run by a US-based team that works your business day, so questions get answered in real time, not overnight from offshore.

Knows the WNY ecosystem

We understand the local accelerator, grant, and investor landscape that newly funded Buffalo startups operate in, so our reporting speaks the language your stakeholders expect.

Remote-friendly by default

Everything runs in your cloud accounting stack, so the work happens whether you are in a Seneca Street office, working from home, or scaling a remote team.
