Arightco

What Arightco does

ArightCo, Inc. is a private outsourced finance, accounting, HR, and strategic advisory firm founded in 2008 by Sushama and Tanmoy Chowdhury and headquartered in San Jose, California, with delivery operations in Kolkata, India. The company provides integrated back-office services to small and mid-market companies across four primary verticals: Technology/SaaS, IT services, Manufacturing, and Non-Profit organizations. Core services include transactional bookkeeping, monthly financial statement and KPI preparation, client invoicing, vendor payments, budget creation, cash flow planning, controller services, payroll, HR support, and CFO-level strategic advisory covering investor reporting, cap table modeling, board deck preparation, and M&A due diligence support.

The delivery model is built on industry-standard third-party platforms rather than proprietary technology. ArightCo uses QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Zoho Books, and Wave for accounting; Float, Pulse, and Fathom for cash flow forecasting; and LivePlan, PlanGuru, and Spotlight Reporting for financial planning and analysis. Service differentiation rests on operational integration into client workflows (acting as a single point of contact embedded in the client's finance function), a hybrid onshore/offshore staffing model that delivers 30-50% cost savings versus in-house teams, and senior-led engagement on transaction events.

Revenue is generated through monthly subscription retainers, with publicly disclosed tiered pricing segmented by industry and company stage/size: SaaS engagements range from $3,000+/month (Seed) to $5,000+/month (Series A) with custom pricing for Series B+; IT services are priced by headcount band from $2,500+/month to $5,000+/month with custom pricing for 50+ headcount; Manufacturing tiers span $2,500-$5,000+/month with custom Premium pricing; and Non-Profit tiers range from $2,500 to $8,000+/month. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, content marketing (blog, SEO, newsletter), client testimonials, and referral-based acquisition within the venture and startup ecosystem. On May 14, 2026, ArightCo was acquired by Abbott, Stringham & Lynch (ASL), a full-service Silicon Valley CPA firm founded in 1977, and now operates as part of the larger ASL platform.
