Introduction
Company Overview
Delphi is an AI startup building “your digital mind” — an always-on, conversational platform that helps businesses qualify leads, answer questions, and connect with customers 24/7 in their own brand voice. Delphi allows top-voices like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Shetty, Lenny Rachitsky, and Cody Sanchez scale their time, infinitely.
Challenge
Delphi needed a bookkeeping partner that could keep up with their startups speed
Before working with Haven, Delphi struggled to find an accounting partner that matched their pace. Andrew Preiser, Delphi's Head of Ops, noted that their previous bookkeeping firm – while a popular legacy accounting firm in the Silicon Valley – wasn’t cutting it. He added, “They moved slowly, often taking hours or even days to respond to simple requests.”
For a fast-moving AI startup, that lack of responsiveness created friction and risk.
As the company scaled, waiting on slow month-end closes and delayed financial updates made it harder for their operations team to make timely, informed decisions. Delphi needed a firm that could move with the same urgency and precision as the rest of their business.
Delphi turned to Haven for a fully outsourced finance and accounting team that could match the pace and energy of their scaling startup.
Solution
Delphi streamlined their finances with Haven’s high-touch accounting built for fast-moving tech companies
Delphi connected with Haven after a personal outreach from the team and quickly realized the difference in approach. Haven provided a high-touch, responsive service that felt like an extension of Delphi’s own operations team.
Through Slack-based communication, quick access to real humans, and flexible scheduling, Haven aligned seamlessly with Delphi’s workflow — no tickets, no waiting days for replies. Haven handled bookkeeping and monthly close operations with clarity and speed, offering full visibility while maintaining accuracy at every step.
“Haven is the rare accounting firm that moves fast without ever cutting corners. They’re hyper-responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely great to work with. As the person responsible for our finances, they make my life a whole lot easier.”
Results
Delphi closed their books 2 weeks faster and with total financial peace of mind
Since partnering with Haven, Delphi’s monthly books are completed two weeks faster on average compared to their previous firm. The improvement in turnaround time has allowed the team to make quicker financial decisions and focus on scaling the business instead of managing their accountants.
With Haven’s proactive communication and startup-minded pace, Delphi finally found a financial partner that moves as fast as they do.
“We used to spend weeks waiting for our books to close. With Haven’s faster turnaround, we can finally use those numbers to plan ahead.”
