"Revenue is Vanity, Profit is Sanity"
AURA is a team of specialists that build your rock-solid financial foundation. Then we use accurate insights to inform strategic guidance and sound business advice. In a nutshell, we tell you how your business is actually performing, and how to grow the bottom line.
With AURA, you can answer questions like:
Why is my revenue growing but not my net profit?
Which service line is delivering the best margin?
Where and how can we cut costs?
How do we scale the business?
Should we give that employee a raise?
Where should we focus our attention?
Can we hire more people? If so, when?
Do we need working capital?
The numbers tell the story.
The benefits of accrual vs cash-based accounting
DID YOU KNOW?
You can still use cash-based accounting for your taxes but use accrual-accounting for reporting purposes so your information is more accurate.
Watch Now.
Understand how your business is actually performing
Many Founders and CEOs gauge business performance on top-line revenue, or the bank balance. Cash-based accounting only considers the inflows and outflows of your bank and credit cards, nothing more. This is an unreliable performance indicator, whereas accrual accounting shows you what business activities are most (and least) profitable. AURA uses accrual accounting practices to unscramble your financials so you can stop relying on instinct and start relying on accurate data.
Take your business to the next level
When you don’t have solid financial data, you’re flying blind. Elevate your business to the next level with a strategic partner who understands where you’re vulnerable, and how to overcome those challenges. Whether you’re looking to scale, secure growth funding, or prepare for acquisition in the future, AURA ensures that your company’s financials are clean, professional, and prepared with the utmost care.
Talk to a human and not a recording
Accountants by nature are introverts. We’re not. We pride ourselves on excellent communication and actually picking up the phone when you call. We also take the time to explain your financials in terms you can understand so there’s no guesswork or unnecessary back and forth. Ultimately, our business is built on long-term partnerships, with no long-term contracts. We earn your trust…and keep it.
Save cash without sacrificing quality
For most small businesses, controller-level accounting shouldn't be a full-time role. At the same time, you require top-tier talent to ensure accuracy in your numbers. AURA serves your high-level financial needs for a fraction of the cost of a full-time controller or CFO. Our expertise and collaborative team model allows us to be ultra-efficient. Plus, there is flat-fee monthly billing with no surprises.
