Overview
Fondo, operated by BloomJoy, Inc., sells bookkeeping, corporate tax and tax credit services to Delaware C-corporation startups from pre-seed to Series B, both venture-backed and bootstrapped, with US and international founders[12]. It says more than 2,000 startups use it and links to a Y Combinator company page[12].
Its distinguishing feature is cadence-based pricing. Startups can choose a monthly close at US$399 a month (shown as a limited-time price, down from US$499), a quarterly close from US$1,198 a quarter, or a single annual close from US$950 a year; all plans can be paused or cancelled at any time[12]. Each plan includes a dedicated accountant, a finance dashboard, a runway report, and a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement for the chosen period; the monthly plan adds a dedicated Slack channel[12]. Catch-up bookkeeping starts at US$950.
Fondo’s TaxPass covers the federal Form 1120, one state corporate return, the Delaware franchise tax and one foreign shareholder filing for US$1,450 a year (a limited-time price, down from US$1,950)[12]. It also runs R&D tax credit studies. Its narrow focus is the main limitation: LLCs, S-corporations and non-Delaware entities are outside the market it describes.
