Who We Are

We’re builders, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers who draw our inspiration from the incredible leaders we serve.

Nearly 17 years ago, we set out to find a better way to help the country’s highest-potential startups navigate the financial hazards that follow their first institutional funding.

Today, Propeller’s 250+ full-time professionals on three continents are proud to be considered the premier finance and accounting partner to many of the most iconic emerging companies in every category we specialize in.

What We Do

Financial vitality is the foundation of every successful business. But managing your company’s finances requires multiple skillsets across different roles with inconsistent workflows. Propeller was built to solve this problem.

Our fractional model offers a dynamic workforce solution that provides a cost-effective alternative to hiring full-time talent too early.

We are more than an outsourced CFO and accounting provider. With experienced talent in specialized roles and the flexibility to adapt as your needs evolve, we are your long-term partner in growth.

Our service is anchored by a best-in-class technology platform, coupled with unparalleled data and workflow optimization tools, giving you the visibility and confidence to make smarter decisions.

"When I decided to sell the business I had poured the past 10+ years of my life into, I couldn’t have asked for better partners than Propeller to help guide us to the finish line. They truly became part of our core team and were as invested personally in our success as we were. From evaluating early investment offers to helping vet and select our investment bankers to helping draft our CIM (and sometimes playing the role of therapist as I weighed my financial future), their extensive expertise in CPG transactions gave me the information and confidence I needed to make sound decisions."

"Propeller was a phenomenal partner through a complicated financing, where we changed course at the eleventh hour of a deal due to circumstances beyond our control. We relied heavily on their team to guide us through the crucial next steps, as they helped us reconfigure our financing strategy to solve the short-term cash needs. Propeller was instrumental in evaluating different financing options and recommending strategic investors to help the company continue its growth trajectory. Their invaluable perspective immediately following the false start led to a far better fundraising outcome, positioning our company for success."

"Propeller came highly recommended by a trusted partner given their successful track record and experience scaling DTC businesses like Parade. Since engaging with them pre-launch, Propeller has been there for us every step of the way. It's been extremely valuable having both the tactical day-to-day finance and accounting support and the strategic mentorship that we get from the relationship!"

"Propeller helped me understand the potential sale price and whether or not to run a larger process and prepare materials. They coached me and participated in key discussions and negotiations. Most importantly, they provided expert counsel along the way and incredible moral support. I simply couldn’t have done it without them."

"The question that Propeller helped us solve was, ‘Do we grow or remain a lifestyle business?’ If it were not for their guidance, we would not have had the experience or expertise to raise money, conduct proper due diligence, acquire a business and eventually assemble a Board. They have our financial back. Propeller is family."

"Since we had the right systems and processes in place and an experienced partner like Propeller at Sir Kensington's, I could focus on other areas of the business that led to our growth and our ultimate sale. As I began my CEO role at Hu, Propeller was one of my first calls."

"From a big picture perspective, the Propeller team brings the right balance of IQ and EQ. They don't just manage our business and books. They align with us from a cultural perspective, Since working with Propeller, I've gained trusted advisors who provide me with peace of mind, confidence, and clarity - allowing me to make smarter decisions that led to our success."

"The professionalization on the finance side of Shire City came with bringing outside support through an introduction to Propeller Industries, who has been phenomenal to work with. I knew how to divide and conquer what needed to be addressed on the finance side of things, but the actual execution of accounting still needed to be done, so we deployed the right lineup of support to get that professionalized and in place where we could then set out on fundraising."
