Bookkeeping
Escalon Services
Escalon provides outsourced finance, HR, and tax operations to growing companies as a single engagement rather than three separate vendors. Its clients are typically founder-led businesses past the early stage but not yet large enough for in-house finance and HR departments, a range the firm describes as roughly $1M to $50M in revenue.
Financial operations cover bookkeeping, general ledger management, reconciliations, month-end close, GAAP financial statements, budget-versus-actual reporting, forecasting and budgeting, management reporting, and board presentations, with fractional CFO support on top. Audit readiness is part of the work at higher service levels, including ASC 606 revenue recognition, ASC 718 stock compensation, schedule preparation, and dealing directly with the audit firm.
People operations cover recruitment and onboarding, payroll including multi-state payroll and state registrations, benefits, HR compliance and record-keeping for I-9s, W-2s, and 1099s, and PEO co-employment arrangements that shift HR liability and payroll tax. Tax operations cover annual federal and state income tax filings, state and local taxes including franchise, sales, use, employment, and property tax, sales tax nexus monitoring, and R&D credit claims.
Escalon says it has served more than 20,000 organizations since 2006, manages over $1B in operational financial activity and 5,000+ workforce systems, and is a five-time Inc. 5000 honoree. Pricing is custom, scoped to revenue band and the mix of services, and the company says it does not publish tiers. Contact details on the site are connect@escalon.services and (800) 956-8019.
Best for
