Bookkeeping & Accounting
Bookkeeping Services for Startups That Have Outgrown Their Bookkeeper.
Adea delivers CFO-reviewed, GAAP-compliant accounting built for growth-stage companies that need financial infrastructure to match where they're headed, not where they started.
The Difference
Not Your Typical Bookkeeping.
Adea's accounting is built to produce insight — not just a record — and to meet the standard investors and auditors expect. The difference between typical bookkeeping and CFO-reviewed accounting shows up the moment you're in a due diligence process, preparing for an audit, or asking your numbers to support a board narrative.

Post-seed startups with disorganized or incomplete historical financials
Brands preparing for an external audit for the first time
Companies with messy historical books that need to be cleaned before a raise
