    “Until working with Median, our books were a black box. The platform gave us a real, granular view of where the money was going, and cutting unnecessary spend became obvious.”
    Greg Mayer, CEO, Curve

    Bank-level security. Your accounts connect through Plaid with read-only access. We never store your login and never move your money.

    A real accountant on your books. AI does the volume, a real accountant owns the result. You always have a person accountable for your numbers.

    A patchwork back office costs you more than money.

    Hiring in-house is expensive.

    A full-time bookkeeper or controller is a salary, benefits, and management overhead before you see a single clean report.

    Vendors do not connect.

    A bookkeeper here, payroll there, a CPA at year-end. Nothing reconciles, and you are the one stitching it together.

    You need numbers, not data entry.

    Accrual books, AR and AP, and real reporting take more than someone who codes transactions. You need an actual accounting function.

    A full accounting team, on tap.

    Median replaces the patchwork with one managed function. AI does the volume, a real accountant owns the result, and you get a back office that actually holds together.

    • Accrual bookkeeping and a monthly close
    • AR and AP managed, payroll coordinated
    • Reporting your leadership and lenders can rely on

    Most firms arrive with some of this already behind. Bringing prior periods current is cleanup work, and it is part of onboarding rather than a separate project. Agencies, consultancies and law firms can see the model applied to their own economics on Median for professional services.

    One bill, sized to your business.

    Far less than a full-time hire, with a real accountant on every engagement, and you can cancel anytime.

    You are billed monthly against the size of the function: the financial accounts under management, and the transaction volume moving through them. Nothing is charged per seat, so adding the people who need to see the numbers costs nothing. We size it on the intro call, off the published rate card.

    What the engagement covers

    • The whole function, from the daily categorization up through the close
    • Forecasting and board-ready reporting, scoped to what you actually present
    • Tax filing and R&D credits available on the same engagement
    • One accountant accountable for the numbers, so nothing sits between vendors

    Common questions

    Setup takes about 30 minutes on a single call. You give us view-only access to your accounts and we bring your history over, so there is nothing to export or forward. Most businesses have their back office running on Median within a few days.

    Yes. We run your accounting inside the QuickBooks you already use, so there is no migration and no new system to learn. If you are not set up yet, we can handle that too.

    Yes. Your accounts connect through Plaid, the same bank-level, read-only connection used by major fintech apps. We never see or store your login, and access is view-only, so we can read transactions but never move money.

    We catch you up as part of onboarding, including cleaning up prior months and untangling AR and AP, then keep everything current with a close every month. You do not have to sort out the backlog before you talk to us.

    You get a full accounting function, bookkeeping, AR and AP, payroll coordination, the monthly close, and reporting, without the salary, benefits, and management overhead of a full-time hire. AI does the volume and a real accountant owns the result.

    A full-time bookkeeper is a salary plus benefits plus the management time to keep them busy and check their work, and it buys you one person who can be out sick. Median is billed monthly against the financial accounts under management and the transaction volume moving through them, which is what actually drives the work. There is nothing charged per seat, no long-term contract, and you can cancel anytime. We size your number on the intro call.

    A real accountant, by name, on your engagement. That is the specific thing a patchwork cannot give you: when a bookkeeper, a payroll vendor, and a tax CPA each hold one piece, an error in the seams belongs to nobody. Here the close, the reporting, and the treatment decisions sit with one person you can ask.

    Hand the back office to Median.

    Setup takes about 30 minutes and we bring your history over. After that, the books, payroll, and reporting run without you in the loop.
