Our Integrated Service Model

While Accounting, Finance, Tax, Payroll, and People Ops/HR services can be purchased individually, ideally they run together as one seamless solution. Graphite’s integrated model is designed to replace the outdated, fragmented back office model with a fully unified, accountable department built to scale with modern companies. Instead of stitching together bookkeepers, controllers, fractional CFOs, consultants, and vendors, companies get one cohesive team that owns the entire financial engine—from the numbers to the narrative—with accountability built in at every level.

Each pod operates on a tight monthly rhythm: Accounting closes the books, Tax stays aligned as activity flows through, HR and Payroll keep payroll and the HR functions clean, and Finance updates models and scenarios off real actuals. The same team that manages the day-to-day also runs forecasting and planning, so there’s no version drift between “the numbers” and “the story.”

Underneath it all is a single operating model — one set of processes, one data spine, one source of truth. By unifying these functions, we eliminate the task of managing disconnected vendors or acting as the middleman between your bookkeeper, your tax lead, and others involved in the day-to-day. Instead, your Graphite back office acts as a high-speed engine, giving you clarity on every decision, from hiring to cash deployment to board reporting.
