Fondo

Bookkeeping, taxes, and tax credits for startups

Visit Fondo

Fondo is an accounting platform for Delaware C-Corp startups that combines software with a CPA-led team handling bookkeeping, corporate tax filing, and R&D tax credits. It addresses the need for accurate financial reporting, timely tax compliance, and tax credit identification without requiring an in-house accounting team.

The platform includes bookkeeping with monthly, quarterly, or annual closing, a Finance Dashboard, and financial reporting packages covering runway, profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statements. TaxPass handles Delaware Franchise Tax, federal corporate tax filing (Form 1120), state corporate tax filing, and foreign shareholder filing, with add-ons for multi-state filings, international forms (5472, 5471, 114), and R&D tax credit studies (Form 6765). Onboarding connects bank, payroll, and accounting tools, and accountants are accessible via Slack. An AI Assistant is listed among platform capabilities.

Fondo is built for startups and scaling tech companies, particularly Delaware C-Corps. Pricing is available in monthly, quarterly, and annual bookkeeping plans, each with a dedicated accountant, finance dashboard, and reporting package, with options to pause or cancel. TaxPass and tax add-ons are priced separately, and catch-up bookkeeping is offered as an add-on for companies behind on their books.
