Our reports arrive late, so we’re flying blind.

Sales tax and payroll were off—year-end was a scramble.

We keep getting surprise bills and scope creep.

No industry context — they don’t get tech/startups, e-commerce, clinics, or restaurants.

Orbit vs Alternatives 

Vs generalist bookkeepers

They deliver basic entries with delays. Orbit delivers reconciled books, clean workpapers, and timely closes.

Vs in-house single bookkeeper

Avoid a single point of failure. With Orbit you get a team, coverage, and CPA oversight.

Vs audit-first firms

Others focus only on year-end compliance. Orbit is built for management reporting, every month.

Vs software-only tools

Automation misses context. Orbit combines technology with human judgment and audit-ready reconciliations
