Case Study: Apartment List scales finance operations with airCFO

Scaling with Apartment List from Startup to Series D

Apartment List, an online apartment marketplace, was a high-growth startup that needed to scale its finance and accounting operations. As the company expanded, the founders found themselves overburdened with complex accounting tasks, which distracted them from their core business mission. They engaged airCFO to provide a fractional accounting and finance service to handle these critical but non-core functions professionally.

airCFO implemented a scalable, customized solution that grew alongside Apartment List from its early startup phase through to a 250-person company. The service provided access to specialized expertise in areas like accounts receivable, which complemented the company's internal hires. This partnership allowed the Apartment List team to focus on product-market fit and scaling the business, with airCFO delivering a high-ROI solution that was integral to their success.
