Burkland

Overview

Burkland is an outsourced finance and HR firm for venture-backed startups from pre-seed to growth stage, led by founder and chief executive Jeff Burkland^[5]. It reports more than 800 venture-backed startup clients, more than US$25 billion in venture funding raised by those clients, more than US$25 million a year in client R&D tax credits, and over 70 venture-capital partners^[5].

Services cover accounting and bookkeeping, tax and compliance, payroll, R&D tax credits, strategic finance, fractional CFO work and financial modelling, delivered as an embedded team^[5]. Its website lists recent client funding rounds, including Etched’s US$700 million Series C in August 2026 and Precision Neuroscience’s US$250 million Series D in September 2026^[5].

Burkland’s breadth makes it a candidate for startups that want one external team to run finance and people operations. It does not publish prices on its home page, so costs must be quoted, and its venture focus means it is aimed at funded companies rather than small businesses.
