SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Burkland, a full-service fractional CFO, HR, accounting, and tax provider, announces another key milestone in its ongoing efforts to help startups succeed.

Peter and Jeff discuss their work together at Segment, which Peter co-founded and led as CEO and Jeff served as a Burkland fractional CFO, before it was acquired by Twilio in 2020 for $3.2 billion. Drawing upon shared experience forming startups and helping these be successful, the two founders offer advice for startups to drive toward sustainable and long-term growth.
