Luma Nutrition eliminates 4-week financial blindspot and scales with Finaloop
Luma Nutrition's generalist bookkeepers lacked ecommerce expertise, frequently miscategorizing expenses and forcing the founder to make corrections himself. Monthly reconciliations took 2-4 weeks, leaving the team with outdated financial data and standard reports that provided no actionable insight.

Outcome

What failed first
Multiple generalist bookkeepers were tried and each failed to grasp ecommerce-specific requirements such as inventory handling and accrual accounting, causing the founder to spend time correcting their errors and leaving him unsure how much time was actually saved.
