    Fast-Growing Tech Company Quickly Outstrips Its Own Finance Admin, Compliance Capabilities

    DataCapable launched in 2012 (in the wake of Hurricane Sandy) when the founders saw a way to harness AI and human analysts to help more quickly interpret data and deliver key information to communities during disruptive events.

    The model quickly showed promise in terms of revenue, but with a distributed team of employees and vendors (and cofounders on opposite coasts), vital functions like payroll, taxes and compliance were proving to be a distraction to the founders and a drag on the organization.

    Richtr Financial Studios Engages Quickly to Bring Order and Structure

    Within weeks of the initial engagement, Richtr Financial Studio worked collaboratively with DataCapable founders to address tax milestones, eliminate compliance exposure, and bring structure to both employee and vendor onboarding and compensation. RFS also stepped in to manage the PPP loan process during the onset of COVID-19, saving the organization thousands of dollars.

    Boosting DataCapable to Next Stage

    Rote financial functions have been moved off of leadership’s desks. RFS has templated onboarding and compensation — as well as solving inflow/accounts payable bottlenecks.

    Now both teams use a customized financial dashboard to see the enterprise’s “story in numbers,” seeing and spotting obstacles to growth and planning for next-stage credibility that will attract critical investment rounds.
