My name is Salvatore Buscemi, I’m the managing director and co-founder of The Commercial Investor.

What is your favorite thing about working with Fully Accountable?

When I worked on Wall Street one of my bosses would say, “Would you trust this person with your wallet?” We’ve grown to trust Fully Accountable more and more with our wallet, and that’s allowing us to start other endeavors that I never thought would be possible to scale the business with what’s coming in right now.

How has adding Fully Accountable to your team helped your business?

We were in the midst of a transition. We were close to shutting down our digital publishing business. This hobby turned into a legitimate business. We decided it was something we wanted to take seriously and really bring to the next level. When you have a real enterprise like that you need to have a real CFO.

I didn’t want to sit there and do the mundane tasks of bookkeeping and paying the bills, I didn’t want to task it to anyone in the office because we like to keep it real lean here. It was very fortuitous that we came across Fully Accountable. To be able to have all the services of a CFO from a virtual standpoint allowed us to take a look at our numbers with a level of granularity that I would expect from a big New York City accounting firm.

Fully Accountable is much more affordable and allows us to do a lot more with a lot less. Reporting is what’s most important to me. The level of detail that we get is amazing. I’m able to start the day by really understanding what the cash and revenue look like. Fully Accountable already knew what we wanted because of their understanding of the digital marketing business. I didn’t have to explain things to an accountant that doesn’t really understand the business. The team was great at looking at things and reclassifying certain expenses. It saved us a lot of money when we had to refile some tax returns, so that already paid for itself.
