About WiseOwl

Financial expertise with an operator's eye.

WiseOwl is an outsourced accounting and financial operations firm. We run the close, the controls and the reporting for private companies and startups that have outgrown their back office and are not ready to build a corporate one. We are not a CPA firm and we do not prepare tax returns. We prepare the books your auditor tests and your tax accountant files from.

Two entities, one team. WiseOwl Partners LLC in the U.S. holds the client relationship. Every account has a US partner who knows your business and answers for the work. WiseOwl Solutions Philippines Inc. employs the accounting team that does it. You get one named team and one point of contact, not a ticket queue.

What we bring is financial expertise, operational understanding and process-improvement discipline. We do the work inside your systems, we leave it documented, and we measure whether it got better.
