Bookkeeping for University Area Businesses
Bookkeeping and CFO services for startups and businesses near the U of U campus. From first revenue to Series A ready.
Bookkeeping Near Campus
The University area has a different rhythm than most Salt Lake neighborhoods. The mix of startups, research companies, and healthcare practices means there are businesses doing serious work without the back-office infrastructure to match. We work with founders and practice owners who need clean books but don’t have time to maintain them.
Most of our University-area clients are early-stage companies or professional practices. They’re growing, hiring, maybe raising capital. The books need to be right for all of that. We provide full charge bookkeeping and financial support that lets you focus on the work instead of the accounting.

University Area Businesses We Work With
The University of Utah produces more than graduates. The Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute, Research Park, and the medical campus all generate businesses. Startups raising their first round. Healthcare practices serving patients. Consultants and agencies working with university clients. All running on tight teams without accounting departments.
We work with businesses in that stage between doing it yourself and hiring someone full-time. You’ve outgrown spreadsheets but you’re not ready for a controller on payroll. That’s where we fit.

Common Questions
Where is your office?
Saratoga Springs, about 30 minutes from campus. We work remotely with all clients. For founders and practice owners near the university, that usually means faster communication and no commute to meetings.
Do you work with university startups?
Yes. Companies coming out of the Lassonde Center, Research Park spinoffs, and early-stage founders in the area. We help get books investor-ready before the first pitch meeting.
What does bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. We quote flat rates based on transaction volume so there are no surprises. Most early-stage companies land between $199 and $499 per month.
Can you help with fundraising?
That's one of our strengths. Cody has personally helped clients raise over $30 million. We prepare financials that hold up to due diligence and can support the process from start to close.
Do you work with medical practices?
Yes. There are a lot of independent practices around the U of U medical campus. We handle insurance receivables, revenue timing, and the specific accounting needs of healthcare businesses.
