Economico for Stripe Atlas companies
US-shaped books for Stripe Atlas founders abroad
You incorporated a US company through Atlas while running it from somewhere else. Economico gives you real books from day one, kept by the agent you already use — no local finance hire required.
The Delaware C-corp took a weekend; the books have waited for months
Atlas stood up a real US company in a few days — EIN, bank account, stock issued, cap table clean. Then the books just… didn't start. You're running it from another timezone, revenue's coming in, costs are going out, and none of it is landing anywhere that a US accountant would recognize. Incorporating was the easy part. Keeping US-shaped books from outside the US is the part nobody set up for you — so it waits, until a customer, an investor, or tax season forces the issue.
The finance help that fits your structure is expensive, remote, and asleep
A bookkeeper who understands a Delaware C-corp run from abroad is expensive, hard to find, and almost never in your timezone. So the default is to reconstruct a year of scattered receipts in April, or to hand a stranger the keys to the kingdom. Economico is the third option: the moment you connect, it seeds a GAAP-shaped, accrual-basis, double-entry ledger — AR, revenue, expenses, cash — the books a US accountant expects, opened before you've hired anyone to keep them.
However you bill, wherever you sit, revenue lands in real books
Cross-border is the default here, not an edge case.
- GAAP-shaped double-entry seeded the moment you connect — AR, revenue, expenses, cash.
- Recognized and deferred revenue handled, so your income statement is honest — investors and the IRS care about accruals, not just cash.
- A clean year-end trial balance and income statement your US accountant can file from — an export, not a reconstruction project.
- Dollars or stablecoins, the way cross-border founders, customers, and contractors actually get paid — all on one ledger.
No finance hire to source
The agent you already use keeps the books, so you don't have to find and vet finance help in — or out of — your timezone.
Books a US accountant trusts
Accrual, double-entry, GAAP-shaped — a clean trial balance at year-end instead of a reconstruction project.
Dollars or stablecoins
Invoice and settle the way cross-border businesses actually do — in dollars or stablecoins — all on one ledger.
Accounting by asking
Send an invoice, log a cost, or pull a report in plain language; your agent posts it to real books underneath.
The same books tell you your burn without a finance team you don't share a clock with
Filing-ready is the floor. Because the ledger is real and structured, the agent you already use can read your margin, your burn, and whether you can afford to grow — the work a CFO does — without you sourcing a finance hire in a timezone you don't share. You ask; it answers off the books, the moment you need it.
