What Bean Ninjas Does Well

Bean Ninjas has built a focused practice around Xero bookkeeping for e-commerce and digital businesses.

Their Xero partnership and A2X integration for Amazon sellers are genuine strengths.

What Sets Eagle Rock CFO Apart

Eagle Rock CFO does not compete with bookkeeping firms—we build on top of them. If you are already working with Bean Ninjas or another bookkeeper, Eagle Rock can integrate with your existing setup and provide the CFO layer: controller oversight, cash flow forecasting, KPI tracking, and strategic financial guidance. If you have not yet engaged a bookkeeper, we can help you set up the accounting infrastructure and then build the finance function on top. Our PE-backed team brings strategic context that goes beyond the numbers: we help you understand what the data means for your business and what decisions you should be making.

Choose Bean Ninjas If You Want...

Dedicated Xero bookkeeping with e-commerce expertise for your Shopify, Amazon, or multi-channel business. Bean Ninjas is the right choice if your primary need is clean, accurate accounting and financial statements, and you do not yet need fractional CFO-level strategic guidance.

Choose Eagle Rock CFO If You Want...

Strategic finance leadership on top of your existing accounting—or help setting up that accounting in the first place. Eagle Rock serves established businesses at $5M–$50M revenue that need both clean books and a finance team that can translate that data into decisions about cash flow, growth, and capital strategy.

The Eagle Rock Difference

Eagle Rock CFO complements your bookkeeping, not replaces it. We integrate with your existing accounting (Xero, QuickBooks, or others) and add the controller, treasury, and FP&A layer that turns data into decisions.
