The books underneath it are done for you.
Bank, card, payroll, and billing feeds map into a real general ledger. An accountant reviews the work. You do not touch a spreadsheet, and you do not chase your bookkeeper for a number that is three weeks old.
The work speaks for itself.
A year of books, built for them.
A Forum Ventures-backed startup with no prior bookkeeper. Median connected the stack, pulled documents from Gmail, and built a full, investor-ready year of books with almost no lift from the founder.
Read the case studyWe found what three years of books missed.
A healthtech company that believed its books were clean. Median found errors going back years, corrected them at the source, and filed amended returns.
Read their storyA top line that is the company’s own.
A nationwide pet-care marketplace on Stripe Connect, where the same booking can reach the ledger twice. Median established the Connect model, restated two years so the top line reports platform revenue, and delivered the filing package ahead of the deadline.
