Constellation Blu was set up in late 2012 to be a go to team of multi-disciplinary professionals for all members of the early stage ecosystem. The intent was to service the needs across all members of the ecosystem including investors (both institutional and angel) and founders (and their leadership teams). The team has boot strapped to scale from 3 in June 2013 to close to a 50 self-driven and professionals currently across Finance, legal, corporate secretarial, investor relations and others. Over a short period of time, the team has been successful in creating its own identity as a go to shop for needs of the early stage ecosystem and has added newer offerings from time to time with its dynamic leadership team and an ownership structure where the early leadership have developed to being co-owners of the firm. We haven’t yet peaked and are eager to add newer modules of professional services and solutions for the early stage ecosystem. Pride of association and a sense of purpose have been the driving factors for the growth of its young team and limited attrition. In a world where ability to be able to predict the future is considered as a high point, the team endeavors to create its own future as a catalyst in the vibrant early stage investment ecosystem of India.

Understanding Accrual Accounting! Ever wondered why some businesses seem to have a clearer financial picture than others? The secret might be in their accounting method! Today, let's demystify Accrual Accounting - the preferred method of financial reporting that shows your business's true financial health, not just what's in your bank account. Key takeaways: * Records revenues when earned, not just when paid * Provides a more accurate view of your business performance * Ensures GAAP compliance * Provides improved financial forecasting Fast example: That invoice you issued in December? It's December revenue in accrual accounting - even though it is paid for in January. That's the beauty of matching revenues to the period they are earned! Be a seasoned CFO or a fresh entrepreneur; knowing how to understand accrual accounting helps one make informed business decisions. What are your thoughts on accrual vs. cash accounting?
