William Hurley (“Whurley”) is no stranger to building companies that attract major acquirers. His creative technology group Chaotic Moon Studios exited to Accenture, and Honest Dollar was acquired by Goldman Sachs. After launching Strangeworks, a quantum computing venture, he knew that reliable financial infrastructure would be essential for communicating with investors and scaling the business.
Whurley found that previous outsourced solutions led to “start-and-stop relationships” that caused complications as his companies shifted. He needed a partner that could scale alongside a high-growth company while providing the accurate, accessible financial data that investors demand.
Consero’s Finance as a Service model, which combines skilled financial professionals with the customizable SIMPL platform, gave Strangeworks dependable support, streamlined investor communications, and a financial backbone built for long-term growth.
“Working with Consero was an easy decision.”
