EP has been able to grow with us as we've added more employees and business processes. They've helped us set up a PEO, an AP/AR system, a PR/PO system. Every time we need something new and think we might need in-house, EP steps up and proves us wrong. Highly recommend.

They help our backoffice stay lean (i.e. the CEO and one engineer) and that is very important right now. We actually hired an in-house FP&A person only to lose them to another company 60 days in. Enduring Planet quickly stepped (already were doing our book keeping) and helped us stay efficient.

Our work with Enduring Planet is ongoing. They started by building a cash flow model so we could project cash flow and projections more accurately. The model ties our project costs to incoming funds from our fundraising. We already had an accounting partner, and Enduring Planet worked well with both our team and that partner. Their focus is FP&A, and they continue to manage and update the model for us. We are now working with them on a more robust pro forma ahead of our Series A raise. They are responsive, collaborative, and they understand how sustainability project companies are financed.

Our experience with Enduring Planet has been excellent. Their team took the time to really understand our business rather than applying a generic financial model. They helped us clean up and make sense of our financials, build a much clearer cash-flow forecast, and identify areas where our accounting and reporting could be improved. What I appreciate most is that they are extremely responsive and practical. When we have a question or need to work through a financial decision, they don’t just provide numbers—they help us understand what those numbers mean for the business and what our options are. They’ve become a trusted financial resource for our team, and I would highly recommend Enduring Planet to any growing company looking for thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaged financial support.

We've really enjoyed working with EP. They move fast without sacrificing quality — their attention to detail is outstanding even under tight timelines. They're also very adaptable, consistently adjusting to our changing needs, and they've been proactive in suggesting process improvements that have made our collaboration smoother. Overall, a great partner to work with.

The Enduring Planet team has been a pleasure to work with. Their bookkeeping and accounting service has been game-changing in making sure important work was being done in a timely, thorough, and professional manner. As a founder juggling many balls at once, being able to rely on the Enduring Planet team has provided peace of mind that things will be done well and bandwidth to do the critical work of building my business.

We are super pleased to be working with Enduring Planet. Their bookkeeping team has delivered as expected and continues to close out our financials efficiently and to a high standard. They are responsive, adapt to feedback as it's given, and stay on top of things to ensure our financials are completed on time.

Enduring Planet stepped in during a transition of our financial staff and provided the expertise to fill in gaps quickly, cost effectively and sustainably. They have built a viable and useful business model to support planning and long term growth. The team is proactive and collaborative as we leverage the pro forma, exercise scenarios and make market-based adjustments.

EP's accounting and FP&A team have exceeded our expectations. While they bring tremendous expertise in climate tech, they are also able to deliver for software companies. They work quickly and efficiently, using modern tools like Slack and Google Drive, and their project management is excellent.

The Enduring Planet team was outstanding. The team digested the ask and went above and beyond in delivering the solution. We were particularly impressed by how much the team accomplished in a very constrained time period. It is one thing providing a solution, it is another thing altogether providing thoughtful solution based on iterative discussions with sponsors. The team was also amenable to constructive feedback which was refreshing.

Due to an unexpected departure in our operations team, our books were in a state of disarray and Enduring Planet took it in stride, and restored our desired cadence of closing, updated our finance forecasts and have taken on many administrative tasks associated with our accounting department. We are very happy overall with our choice, we are still working on smoothing out our reporting, collaboration and AR processes, but I am confident that will fall into place over time.

The initial month required a lot of detail but we saw results quickly, our internal finance manager was able to guide the bookkeeping team to get set up. The Enduring Planet team is focused on quality, we saw that after we got things set up.

The best accounting experience we've had. We've had a Head of Finance, a fractional CFO, controllers, bookeepers over 8+ years in business. EP was the first to actually deliver clear, actionable, on-time and clean GAAP compliant books for our business. And they are affordable. It is night and day from our experiences in the past. Would recommend 100%.

What's kept us happy is how proactive they are. They don't wait for us to come to them; they flag things as they come up and stay on top of the details without us having to chase. For a lean operations team, that's exactly what you need in an accounting partner. If you're a sustainability-focused company looking for bookkeeping/accounting support that actually understands your world and treats you like a real client — not just a small account — Enduring Planet is worth a serious look.

Our experience so far has been nothing short of incredible. The team has been highly engaged, proactive and solutions-oriented. In a short amount of time, they helped us turn a function that had become a bottleneck and scaling risk into a real differentiator (at a fraction of the cost of our previous setup). We’ve started receiving compliments from partners on how quickly and smoothly we operate now. On the human side, they’ve brought a lot of clarity and positivity to processes that are often complex and not exactly what you want to deal with first thing on a Monday morning.

From the discovery process to execution, I have been very happy with the work done by the Enduring Planet team. The bookkeeping team did a spectacular job cleaning up almost 2 years worth of transactions left in shambles by a prior firm. The cash flow team did a great job helping put into finances into perspective.

Enduring Planet has taken out a big stress point, maintaining clean organized books, and has given us peace of mind from a clear view of financials at any given moment in time. Additionally they re-built a kick ass financial model that is able to express the full potentially our unique business model which is great.

EP's FP&A team has been absolutely wonderful to work with. The work that took me years to design has been optimized, formalized, polished, and made deeply dynamic in a matter of months. It feels like watching your kid go off to college. The team impressed me immediately with their approach to learning the details and mastering the complexities of our business. They go above and beyond to incorporate feedback, industry expertise, or new options value into their work products for us. While the team is without a doubt some of the most sophisticated financial engineers and model designers I've had the pleasure of working with in my career; their real value multiplier is their ability to be a thought partner with me every step of the day. They "think with me" when we're working through new challenges, and show enormous ability to adapt on the fly. We are beyond grateful to have them be a part of our team - and hands down our business is better for it. Run don't walk to the opportunity to have Enduring Planet in your corner.

We are blown away with the quality of the team and product! They kicked off our work an hour before midnight on New Years Eve (their time) and have been incredibly responsive and available ever since. Exactly six weeks later, as promised, they delivered a fully-baked proforma and liquidity tracker that went well beyond helping us track runway. They built a stellar executive dashboard and BvA tools that our board and CEO are thrilled with, and have been great ongoing partners as we refine and improve. My only regret is that I didn't hire this team when Dimitry first let me know about EP's fractional CFO services in 2024. So grateful to have their help and am already thinking about where we can deploy their skills next.

I was impressed by the team's ability to start from zero knowledge of the intricacies of Climatize's business, understand the levers of growth then build a model which encapsulated this in a very short period of time. As I dug in, provided feedback the team was eager and quick with their improvements helping me put the best foot forward in our due diligence.

Enduring Planet specializes in our exact niche - growth-stage climate tech companies. EP handles everything from daily bookkeeping to monthly reconciliations and accounts payable. Their support is invaluable as we pursue aggressive growth while keeping a close eye on costs. The team is proactive, super responsive, and honestly, they communicate like real people. If your climate tech company is past the early stages and wrestling with a complex financial structure, skip the generalist firms. Enduring Planet is the essential partner for mature climate startups.

Our experience has been fantastic. The bookkeeping and accounting relationship is the best we've ever experienced as a company, and at a significantly reduced cost compared to our previous CPA firm. The Enduring Planet team is extremely sharp, courteous, and constantly hunting for ways to make our finances run smoother. In the past 2 months, we've also added quite a bit to EP's scope as we prepare to finance a $16+ million certified organic grain malting facility development project. They engaged a dedicated CFO for our account based on their background in agricultural processing / food systems, and are supporting an impressively sophisticated overhaul of our proforma financial set. It's a very good feeling to have found this kind of support in EP as we prepare to make our biggest moves yet as a company. Long story short, we're about 10 months into our relationship with EP and we could not recommend them more.

My experience with Enduring Planet has been excellent. They’ve consistently met my needs as they’ve evolved, showing remarkable flexibility in building additional features into our reports, creating KPI dashboards, updating our model, and making modifications — all without nickel-and-diming us with extra hourly charges. They genuinely care about our business, often asking thoughtful questions about its health and offering insights from a finance perspective, including pointing out red or yellow flags and suggesting solutions. This combination of technical expertise, flexibility, and genuine interest has made them an invaluable partner. They’ve given us the confidence to make informed decisions and communicate our financial position clearly to both our team and investors. I would highly recommend them to any early-stage startup looking for a finance partner who truly treats their customers with care and respect.
