Our Story
Built by Founders, For Founders.
Finendra is bootstrapped. We don't have VC pressure to upsell you on packages you don't need. We price so early-stage founders can afford us — because we were you.
Deepak Kumar
Founder & Controller • B.Com, LL.B.
Cross-border finance specialist with background spanning premier US startup accounting (Escalon), UK statutory accountancy (SJPR London), and Indian CA statutory audits (Jindal Akhil & Co.). Combines accounting precision with legal (LL.B.) compliance insight for venture-backed tech platforms and global founders.
Why early-stage finance ops was broken
Early-stage US founders are caught in an impossible squeeze: pay $3,000–$5,000/mo for big-firm "controller" packages they don't need yet, or pay $0 and regret it during due diligence when their first term sheet arrives.
There was no dependable $499–$1,299/mo tier that actually did the work right: day-one bookkeeping, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and closing the books by the 5th of every month.
Finendra is that tier. Month-to-month. Upgrade when revenue hits milestones. No contracts. No surprises.

Deepak Kumar
Full-Charge Accountant • B.Com, LL.B. • Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor
I built Finendra with one guiding conviction: early-stage founders shouldn't have to choose between paying $3,000–$5,000/mo for an enterprise accounting firm or risking costly red flags during their next diligence round.
Over the past 7+ years, I have managed end-to-end accounting operations across three distinct international regimes — the United States, the United Kingdom, and India. My background spans leading high-growth US startup accounting at Escalon Business Services, full-charge bookkeeping and grant compliance at Avolon (Atlanta, GA), UK statutory accounts and VAT at SJPR Accountants in London, and statutory external audits for enterprises like Cipla, Max Fashion, Lifestyle, and Torrent at Jindal Akhil & Co.
Holding degrees in both Commerce (B.Com) and Law (LL.B.), I approach your finances with a dual lens: day-to-day ledger accuracy combined with rigorous corporate compliance, statutory governance, and audit defense.
