Finance as a Service: Technology + Services = Success

Rose Report: Issue 38

Finance as a ServiceFinance and accounting technology isn’t just a shiny new object, it’s the path to knowledge and the tool to financial clarity. It isn’t an unnecessary expense, it’s a necessity for businesses that want to achieve more.

Not too long ago, finance and accounting professionals relied on a calculator as their tool of choice. And, some still do. Obsolete financial and accounting systems can hamper business growth because they lack the ability to provide a “big picture” view.

When utilizing outdated systems, CEOs are forced to rely on piecemealed reports and don’t have access to the timely and accurate information they need to make smart business decisions. Fortunately, there is a paradigm shift in the finance and accounting outsourcing industry towards Finance as a Service (FaaS), a solution that integrate leading-edge technology and high-value support services.

Finance as a Service Offers an Integrative Accounting Solution

As a pioneer in finance and accounting outsourcing, Rose Financial Solutions (RFS) has been at the forefront of the technology evolution and in delivering FaaS solutions.

A long-time pioneer of accounting outsourcing, Rose has led his firm in continuous innovation and improvement, including building an entire suite of custom software that aims to give his clients powerful tools for automating finance and accounting functions with digital workflows, and even developing a mobile app to give them near-real-time access to critical financial information.”

By Ted Rose July 31, 2025
If your organization is grappling with financial complexity, delayed reports, or mounting compliance pressures, you're not alone. Whether you’re a government contractor preparing for a DCAA audit, a nonprofit managing grants and restricted funds, or a rapidly scaling business struggling to track profitability and cash flow, one thing is clear: You cannot grow with confidence unless your financials are clear and dependable. That is why Rose Financial Solutions created the ROSE Financial Clarity Guarantee, a commitment to delivering financial systems, insights, and support that equip you to lead with control and clarity.

Government Contractors For government contractors, financial clarity is not optional. A misstep in cost allocation or rate calculation can delay payments or trigger an audit failure. With shifting regulations and heightened oversight, the margin for error is reducing. ROSE helps government contractors: • Build and maintain DCAA-compliant accounting systems • Track indirect rates and cost pools with precision • Prepare audit documentation with confidence The result is reduced compliance risk, improved cash flow, and stronger competitive positioning on future contracts. Nonprofits Nonprofit organizations operate under intense scrutiny. Donors, board members, and grant-makers expect timely, transparent financial reporting, and internal teams are often stretched too thin to keep up. ROSE supports nonprofits by: • Delivering accurate, board-ready financials • Automating fund tracking and reporting • Ensuring audit readiness and compliance for grant and restricted funds With ROSE, nonprofits regain the operational clarity needed to grow impact, steward resources, and build donor trust. Growth-Focused Businesses For high-growth companies, finance is often a bottleneck. Rapid expansion brings increasing financial complexity, and internal teams frequently lack the bandwidth or expertise to keep up. ROSE empowers growing businesses by: • Providing near real-time financial dashboards and forecasts • Managing back-office operations with scalable systems • Offering financial insights without the overhead of a full-time hire The outcome is clear financial visibility, improved strategic decision-making, and readiness for investment, acquisition, exit, or expansion. Get a Cost Estimate for Your Business The ROSE Financial Clarity Guarantee is a results-driven approach grounded in decades of experience helping organizations scale with confidence. We’ve helped our clients grow from start-up/early stage to $100+ million in revenue with countless successful exits.
