Orbit vs others
|
Need |
Orbit |
Others |
| Timely month-end | Close within ≤30 days, with KPIs and commentary | Variable; often slips to 45–60+ days |
| Accuracy & audit-readiness | Full reconciliations, roll-forwards, sales tax workpapers, PBC pack | Basic GL entries; limited documentation |
| Pricing model | Fixed monthly fees; no surprise hours | Hourly; scope creep and bill-shock |
| Industry context | Sector-specific charts of accounts & KPIs | Generic bookkeeping, little domain nuance |
| Advisory (light CFO) | Cash-flow forecasts, budget vs. actuals, KPI dashboards | Minimal analytics; bookkeeping only |
| Portal & comms | Orbit Portal for uploads, approvals, request tracking | Email threads & spreadsheets |
| Tooling | QBO/Xero + Dext/Hubdoc; Shopify/Stripe/Square/Jane integrations | Limited integrations or manual imports |
| Payroll & remittances | Gusto/ADP setup + on-time payroll runs and filings (W-2/1099) | Manual processes, risk of penalties |
| Year-end handoff | Tidy CPA package; we liaise with your tax accountant | Client manages back-and-forth |
| Scalability | Packages that grow with you (add locations/programs) | Rebuilds needed as complexity increases |

We reconcile accounts, fix historical issues, rebuild your chart of accounts, and prepare accurate opening balances.
Step 06: Monthly close
Bank/credit card/loan reconciliations, A/R & A/P aging, payroll entries, accruals, and review—always on schedule.
Step 07: On-time reporting & insights
P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Snapshot, plus KPIs (gross margin, cash runway, revenue by channel/program). Risks and opportunities flagged.
Step 08: Year-end & beyond
