What some of our clients are saying

Cloaked Inc. |
Finance & Operations

As a fast-growing company in the privacy and security space, we operate with a fair amount of complexity and pace. It was important for us to work with a financial partner who could support that and provide steady, thoughtful guidance. Valiant has been a strong partner in that regard.

Early on, they helped us refine our financial processes and align our reporting more closely with a SaaS business model, which has given us better visibility into the business. Beyond the core accounting work, their team has been valuable in navigating complex transactions and providing technical accounting guidance when needed. They've been responsive, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. Whether it's answering quick questions or supporting more involved projects like tax filings and compliance readiness.

For teams looking for a dependable finance partner with experience in SaaS and high-growth environments, Valiant has been a great source for us.

PAKT Labs | Co-Founder

We interviewed and worked with a number of firms to manage our accounting needs before ultimately selecting Valiant. John and the team have done an amazing job handling our day-to-day needs, making suggestions, and improving our accounting operational efficiency. They are very responsive with an amazing turnaround time. I highly recommend Valiant.

Jason Sellers

Zeal Talent Ventures |
Head of Finance

Coming from a Big Four accounting firm I know the importance of having a strong finance team. Fast growing companies like ours face the challenges of making the right strategic business decisions and having good financial data to do that. From day one, Valiant has been able to help us with improving our processes, taking the load off me so I can focus on growing our business, building out complicated analyses and models, making suggestions that have saved us money, and handling our finance and accounting needs.

Zynga | Senior Manager Internal Audit

After only a few years of being public, Zynga was growing at a rapid pace through acquisitions. We had to comply with many requirements including passing audits of our internal financial controls and performing SOX readiness and control implementation audits on newly acquired entities. We needed someone with experience and expertise to help us maintain, improve, and put new financial controls in place. Valiant was able to provide exceptional resources to make our team stronger and maintain that compliance. We have worked with Valiant for 5 years now and couldn’t be happier with our partnership.

Valiant has been an amazing strategic partner to our fast growing company. Their experienced team has done everything from cleaning up and improving our finance processes, AP/AR, creating ARR metrics dashboards, and closing our books every month to advising us on capital allocation, staying compliant, and managing risks to the business. From the second we engaged them they quickly learned our business and jumped right into everything. We feel like they're part of our team!
