TESTIMONIALS
What Others Say About Us
The smoothness of the audit and the ease with which everything was completed is what has us coming back to Sensiba for future audits.
Darragh Glynn
Data and Compliance Manager, Davra
I love the flexibility of Sensiba. The entire team carries the mentality of ‘let’s set the audit over an entire window, but at various points in time, we can shift that window if needed. An example of this is that we recently acquired a new company and needed more time to get them onboarded, and that flexibility really helped us. The personalized service Sensiba brings to the table is very nice, and having people in our time zone and supporting local is a huge benefit.
Jim Burger
Director of Information GRC, Octopus Deploy
What stood out to me was Sensiba’s continuous audit model. You weren’t just purchasing an audit but rather partnering with a team of experienced professionals who were there at every stage of the process.
Tommy Zwirblia
Chief Technology Officer, CropTrak
Sensiba stood out as an auditor that understood modern SaaS businesses and could work in a fast, collaborative, and flexible way. They have a great reputation as an auditor–their stamp of approval matters.
Andres Balcazar
Chief Business Officer, Lido
I did an audit before, and it was a mess, painful, and very long. It was a very pleasant surprise that everything was very smooth and very organized with Sensiba. Thanks to their AI-powered audits and multi-standard approach.
Ahmed Abdelrahman
Chief Technology Officer, Bayzat
Sensiba’s outstanding responsiveness, clear communication, and collaborative approach enabled CloudHound to achieve SOC 2 certification in record time.
Dr. Aidan Gill
Founder, CloudHound
I’ve been involved in more than 10 audits throughout different roles and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. The communication from start to finish and use of technology was fantastic.
Lennard Kooy
Founder and CEO, Lleverage.ai
In any kind of service provider business, the relationship is key. Sensiba helped us focus on the controls that actually make an impact.
Kristina Dayback

Working with a company of a similar size and that offered startup experience was important to us. We were comfortable the Sensiba team was open to our questions, and they were very responsive.
Lesley Heizman
Manager of Risk & Compliance, Lucidworks
I don’t say this lightly, but we are super stoked that we chose to work with Sensiba, who made the audit such a pleasant experience.
Guido Santo
VP CyberSecurity, Rokt
Any time we had a question, Sensiba walked us through it so we could figure out our situation and what we needed to do. Sensiba explained everything well and provided clarity throughout the process. We weren’t just interacting with an email address.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Startup Navigator FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our plans, pricing, compliance support, and how to scale your startup’s financial foundation.
01 What is Startup Navigator?
Startup Navigator is Sensiba’s bundled service offering for growing startups. Typical relationships begin with a client accounting services, tax compliance (federal & state tax returns), and R&D tax credit plan. Other specialized services are added separately as the company’s needs evolve.
02 What is included in the monthly price?
Your inclusions depend on the plan selected. During the discovery and scoping process, we will review the recurring activities, reporting, level of support, and responsibilities associated with your plan.
03 Are tax compliance and R&D tax credit services included?
Tax compliance and R&D tax credit services are available as separately scoped add-ons. This allows support and pricing to reflect your company’s actual filing requirements, activities, and eligibility. Typically, these services are a part of the initial project scope.
04 Which plan is right for my startup?
The right fit depends on factors such as transaction volume, revenue complexity, reporting needs, finance-team capacity, and the level of ongoing coordination required. We begin with a fit assessment before recommending a plan.
05 Can my support change as my startup grows?
Yes. Your needs may change as you raise capital, hire employees, enter new states or countries, add entities, increase transaction volume, or develop more sophisticated reporting requirements. Sensiba can help reassess your accounting plan as needed and identify separately scoped services when appropriate.

Yes. Fractional CFO, controller, forecasting, and strategic finance support can be added to your plan based on your company’s needs.
