Well done team! Really proud of this one. It's a compilation of everything we know and have learnt about startup finances over the years working with over a thousand startups. My favourite part of this is the finance stack guide. As a first-time founder, what does business finance even mean and what software should I be using? Please give us feedback and tell us what else you'd like to see in this guide!

@samir_moussa Yes Samir, its been such a great time working on this and getting a crash course in everything to do with startup finances in the process. Working closely with the whole team to get all that wealth of experience and knowledge down into clear and concise words has answered everything I've ever struggled with. Anyone working at a startup that has ever had questions about finance but is not sure where to look or who to ask needs this.

@samir_moussa There are so many intricacies in finance for startups and so many things get overlooked. Thanks for putting this helpful deck together.

I've seen quite a few programs like this here that help startups, do you have any major differences?
Samir Moussa
Hey @ksenijaluskina ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ. I'd love to know what programs you are referring to. This Notion guide focuses on helping startup with their finances โ€” with the aim to spend less time on managing money and more time building killer products. This comes from first-hand experience working with companies at rebank: software to automatically move funds, make payments and track expenses. We also provide free consultation if startups want specific help!

@samir_moussa I understood you, thank you! If I remember correctly, Bench, MMC Receipt or Dext have something similar.
Juan Andrade
@samir_moussa @ksenijaluskina You can make global payments on rebank, which isn't possible with the others. We tend to look at finance from a founder's perspective (i.e. not for accountants) so are more operations-focused, whereas those apps are accounting-focused. But rebank works alongside those tools. Integration is important in fintech ๐Ÿ’ซ
Simon White
Hello hunters, Iโ€™m Simon, co-founder of _rebank, building the financial OS for startups. We know first-hand how painful it is when you want to be product-focused, but keep getting distracted by back-office tasks, like managing finances. Rebank has helped hundreds of startups with intercompany compliance, international wires and cash management. We recently roasted over 50 companies through our previous ProductHunt launch โ€œRoast My Finance Stackโ€. Iโ€™m excited to share with you today, Finance for Founders, a guide that actually helps you manage finances โ€” packed with templates, tools, and other easy-to-use stuff โ€” so you can get on with business. Your free Notion guide includes: ๐Ÿ“š 50+ modules on startup finances ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ 40+ finance hack videos ๐Ÿ“ 10+ investor reporting templates ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Time-saving tools & KPIs calculators ๐Ÿ“… Financial calendar with key dates ๐Ÿ’ผ The must doโ€™s of corporate admin ๐Ÿ‘” How to setup early finance processes ๐Ÿ’ณ Ways to boost your finance stack ๐Ÿ” What a CFO would advise on hiring ๐Ÿ’ฐ Tax admin that you canโ€™t ignore We wrote this guide because we wished we had it when we started our company. Your time is your most valuable resource, so donโ€™t spend it on finance admin if you donโ€™t need to. Finance for Founders will support you in making informed decisions, using the insights weโ€™ve gained from hundreds of founders from high-growth startups. Please leave a comment below โ€” weโ€™d love your feedback and hear your suggestions โ€” Iโ€™ll add it to the next update of Finance for Founders!

Such useful tools to those new to the startup scene - great product! Best of luck with today's launch ๐Ÿ˜Š If I may ask a quick question, is the financial calendar compatible with calendar tools, i.e. Outlook, iCal, Google Calendar, etc? Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š
Frank Silva
@kirstenndb Hi Kirsten, thanks for your support. Unfortunately the calendar is not and is still in its early stages. Building integration for it is a great idea and definitely something we will look at for next updates
