Because you pay for only the services and time you need, on average our advanced accounting package clients save more than $4,000 per month compared to hiring an in-house full-time staff accountant and controller. Jirav FP&A software is included our advanced accounting packages and provides you with dashboards, customized reporting, and the option to add on budgeting. A subscription to this software would cost $20,000 year.
