Client Reviews

We love working with the team at Burkland & Associates. The three partners we work with are extremely dedicated to our success and knowledgeable about a wide array of topics we bring to them. Bryan, one of our financial partners, has been an incredible thought leader, helping us advance our financial planning process and build dynamic models. His responsiveness and commitment to our business has been a huge asset throughout our strategic planning. Thank you, Bryan, and the Burkland team - we love working with you!

Before outsourcing our HR and Finance management, we experienced pain points that many startups do: a lack of organization, communication, and information consolidation across our administrative departments. To alleviate this, we recruited the folks at Burkland to take over our CFO and People Operations. Partnering with Burkland Associates has allowed our small company to streamline our hiring processes, greatly improve contractual and financial organization, and optimize employee benefits. We are very satisfied with the energy and expertise Burkland has introduced to our small team. Thank you for making People and Financial operations a breeze!

Working with Burkland for the second time I had confidence that they would deliver, and they have. They completed an initial assessment of our finance needs in a short period of time then quickly began to execute. The division of responsibility between the Burkland CFO and Burkland bookkeeper is clear and clean. I especially appreciate the solutions-oriented mindset they bring to their work.

We have been so blessed to have Kim, our Burkland CFO, as part of our team! She has been an incredible supporter and champion for us in addition to doing incredible work in Finance! Thank you again to the entire team for being part of our journey!

I enthusiastically recommend Burkland Associates, especially their associate, Bryan Sinkel, he is an indispensable member of our Finance team. Burkland and Bryan's exceptional expertise, strategic thinking, and dedication have not only streamlined our financial planning processes but have consistently driven our success. Through insightful analysis and partnership, he has set a high standard for excellence, making him an irreplaceable thought partner in shaping our strategic decisions and financial growth. Thank you, Burkland & Bryan!

"There's so many wonderful things I can say about Burkland and Steve Lord. Jadu is a Help Desk client and the value is all in the name, Steve has consistently helped us navigate all sorts of pitfalls and unique situations. I can't even imagine meeting Steve a month later than we did! Our meetings are truly the highlight of my week, I'm so happy we found Burkland!"

Burkland team has been a great support for our early-stage Web3 startup challenges, which are a bit different than the traditional tech startup challenges. [Our Burkland CFO] Steve has deep insights about Web3 space which really gives me peace of mind as I run my day to day operations. Knowledgable and experienced partners that you can trust are real deal when you are running an early-stage startup.

We work with a CFO, Bookkeeper and now a People Operations specialist through Burkland's Consumer Group and all add real value to our team.

Burkland has exceeded our expectations, and I can confidently recommend Burkland as a great fractional finance/accounting partner for VC-backed startups.

Burkland was a true strategic partner during our growth. Our Burkland accountant and CFO were extremely responsive and it was apparent they understood our business well. Our Burkland accountant modernized and put in scalable accounting systems. Prior to engaging Burkland our bookkeeping was a pain point and this allowed us to focus on our business. Our Burkland CFO developed a financial model that we used for planning and analysis. Our CFO also provided financial guidance and was instrumental during our acquisition. Burkland exceeded our expectations.

We couldn't be happier with Burkland as a partner - working with Elmar gives me total peace of mind and I can rely on him for key strategic advice when I need it. They are a core part our operational stack and have been great to work with.

Burkland gave us the strategic finance we needed at key stages of scaling our company. One of the best decisions I made early on!

Working with Burkland is working with a true partner. Burkland quickly onboarded to our team and helped us overcome some hurdles. We were able to make some critical decisions with Burkland's financial guidance. Bringing on Burkland as our part-time CFO has truly helped us grow strategically.

Plutoshift engages Burkland for CFO, accounting, and tax services and recently added People Operations as well. Having a fractional resource working on our HR core needs has proven to be as helpful and beneficial as the other Burkland services we use.

Our Burkland CFO Dorian is one of the best things to happen to our business in the last 3 months. We are beyond thrilled with her and she is having a meaningful impact on our business. 

Burkland has been our trusted accounting and finance partner since our seed round. Our CFO, Elmar Jakoby, immediately became a trusted partner and a valuable member of the team, I would recommend their services to any growing startup.

You always treat us like we are a top priority, even though we have to be one of the smallest companies in your portfolio. Thank you for giving us top-notch bookkeeping!

The Burkland part-time CFO model works perfectly for our company. We have the resources we need when we need them at just the right level. Our CFO understands our business.  He is attentive, available, dependable. I couldn't ask for more.

Burkland has provided us with excellent services by being professional, speedy, clear, responsible and customer-focused. Thank you to all for being such a great support to our business and a big thank you to Michael (Reese) who has been always knowledgeable, available at all times and friendly.

Ava Labs engaged a Burkland CFO to help with a historic offering, strategic planning, budgeting, controls and conducted a scenario planning analysis during the COVID crisis. The successful engagement led Ava Labs to hire the Burkland CFO, and a Burkland team continues to support him.

The Burkland team integrates with the business quickly and balances the priorities well. They are always ready to help their clients with recommendations and good business practices.

Retaining an interim CFO is a very important role for a fast-growing company like Particle.  When our full-time CFO was subsequently hired he commented that he had never been so thoroughly and informatively onboarded as he was by the departing Burkland CFO.  Finance at Particle experienced a night and day improvement thanks to Peter, our interim Burkland CFO.

We are a long-time Burkland client. We love Burkland, having engaged Burkland’s controller and tax teams for years (with occasional payroll support). We have been extremely happy not only with Burkland’s work but with the level of service and responsiveness as well. They are a true partner. Keep up the great work!

Working with Burkland has been exceptional. Their responsive service and guidance through our early-stage startup journey were invaluable, ultimately contributing to a successful exit. Steve Lord's expertise was particularly impactful. I've engaged Burkland multiple times for different companies and would absolutely work with them again. Highly recommended for startups seeking top-tier financial consulting, guidance, and leadership.

Excellent support across all our needs for accounting help. Jessica Frappier has been a delight to work with.

Jessica has made a huge difference to our startup. We started working with Burkland after a firm which communication was bad, responses shady and chasing them was the norm. With Jessica the experience is the complete opposite - she behaves as part of the team, drives initiatives, ensures our startup's financial and tax compliance along with her team and is extremely efficient in communication. What a great choice we've made!

Brian has been an exceptionally reliable and thoughtful partner to us. By far the best experience I have had with any external controller resource.

Our full-time Burkland Interim CFO was awesome. Everybody liked him. He was really a great leader. I would recommend him to anyone.

Burkland has been a trustworthy, reliable team to me, and I’ve built a solid relationship with my CFO.  

Amazing customer service! The team has gone above and beyond for us, even as a smaller client startup.

We’ve been impressed by the competence of Burkland’s staff, their responsiveness, and the high degree of interaction.

I am so thankful that I was lucky enough to get a recommendation for Burkland from another entrepreneur. I was considering Pilot, but these guys are worlds better–more cost-effective, they help educate you, and if you need something last minute they are very responsive and flexible. I would highly recommend them to any early-stage company. I will not have to hire someone full time now for a while.

Burkland has been great to work with. Their founder helped us build our financial model that helped us raise our Series A. We subsequently signed up with Burkland for accounting services and they did a great job getting our financials in order. We now use them for monthly bookkeeping, controller and accounts receivable work and I highly recommend them for all three. We're always prepared for discussions with potential acquirers and investors thanks to Burkland.

Burkland has been a trusted partner for Blendid through our early days in 2018. Their team has been able to quickly scale with us as we've brought on new partners, audited our business for fundraising and done tax filings over multiple years of operation. We're happy to have them as part of our extended team.

Monika [our Burkland accountant] has been great. Super responsible and very on top of things. She is uncovering a ton of issues that we had with our previous accountant.

You all have been great to work with. I consider Tarik as part of our team.

Simply stated, it is wonderful working with Bobby as our CFO. He brings a strategic perspective even to mundane, practical items. I can trust that he is always looking through that strategic lens. His expertise with the various finance tools we rely on to run our business is incredible, yielding time savings and important insights. Suneet, our Burkland bookkeeper, is very professional and super responsive. Burkland is an invaluable finance partner for Inflammatix.

We are absolutely thrilled to have Amy Anderson [Burkland Accounting Manager] on our team. From day one, she has been a critical asset to our company, helping to build out our entire accounting and bookkeeping practice. She has also served as a wealth of knowledge for myself and my business partner, teaching us more than we ever could have imagined about the financial state of our business. She is always available to talk and is always more than generous with her time, staying until she's confident that we've received all of the information that we need.

Burkland supports Welkin Health with monthly bookkeeping, technical accounting, and tax services. Ardy and Vinoth work seamlessly and efficiently with us. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, accountability, and professionalism makes them the perfect extension of our team. I highly recommend their services.

These guys are the real deals - financial leaders in the industry. Having worked with Tanmay over the past three months I found an expert who was committed not only to his company's image but our startups success. He has come in and revamped the way we think about all financial structures from sales and accounting to product and team -- you hear in many books that you can't do this early enough despite your expertise -- Burkland Associates and what we've seen thus far proves this to be true. Thank you guys for making our company better able to achieve its market success. We're looking forward to enabling new opportunities for the cloud ecosystem with and because of great partners like this.

We use a lot of Burkland's services - CFO, Accounting, People Operations, Finance Operations, and payroll. Burkland has been a game-changer for us. They have helped structure our business across the board.

Burkland has been terrific for our company. Our CFO Aaron has expertly guided us through the startup minefield, and he is having a material impact on our business.

Our Burkland CFO was a true partner to me and to the business. As a cofounder and CEO this is a crucial dynamic to fully understand the state and health of the business plus instill confidence in my Board and with my investors. Our CFO was instrumental as we scaled and through our complex acquisition. I highly recommend Burkland and would not hesitate to work with them again.

My company contracted Burkland to help finalize our 2019 financials. Paul played a significant role in designing our accounting/finance, account integrations, management of cash flows, income statements, and balance sheets. As a result of Paul’s work, my team now has a reliable AR and AP workflow, setting us up for a smooth 2020! Not only is Paul a capable and efficient teammate, but he is also just an all-around fantastic guy, and I would highly recommend Paul and Burkland to other teams!

Kim has been really supportive. We are amazing together. Her input has positively impacted the product and made us rethink its core elements. She is essential to our success. The flexibility and support you give for startups are amazing.

Burkland's team has been instrumental in offloading finance and people operations from us, especially important as we grow. This allows us to focus on building the product and go-to-market strategy.
