Ravix Group
Outsourced finance, accounting and HR for growing companies, run from San Jose.
Acerca de
What does a forty-person startup do when it needs a chief financial officer for two days a week, a bookkeeper, and someone to run payroll, but cannot justify three hires? In San Jose the answer is often Ravix Group, an outsourced back-office firm founded in 2000 and now working from offices on The Alameda, west of downtown near the Rose Garden district. Older listings still show an Airport Parkway address; the current one is on The Alameda. Gena Mariscal is the controller. The firm's own line is short: outsource your back office and forge ahead.
The back office, outsourced
- Fractional CFO work and financial planning and analysis for companies from seed stage to public.
- Accounting and bookkeeping, month-end close and reporting.
- HR outsourcing and payroll administration.
- Technical accounting and support through an audit.
- Liquidations, wind-downs and turnaround work when a company must shrink or close in an orderly way.
- Full-time recruiting for finance and HR seats once a client is ready to hire in-house.
Ravix Group is part of a larger group, identified on its site as a Kingsway company, with sister brands in finance, HR and bookkeeping, but it continues to operate under its own name.
Engaging the firm
Come to a first conversation with your current chart of accounts, the last close, your cap table and the deadlines that worry you: a fundraise, an audit, a tax filing, a board meeting. Ask how the engagement is staffed, who is your day-to-day contact, and what the handoff looks like if you later hire a full-time controller. Fractional arrangements are usually scoped by days per month, so agree the scope in writing and revisit it each quarter.
Silicon Valley and beyond
Clients come mostly from San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell, Milpitas, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale and Morgan Hill, the technology corridor of Santa Clara County, and much of the work is done remotely. The Alameda office is a few minutes from Highway 880 and the Diridon transit hub.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioWhat is a fractional CFO and when does a company need one?
A fractional CFO works for several companies at once, typically a few days a month each. Companies usually engage one when they are raising money, preparing for an audit, or when the founder can no longer own the numbers alone but a full-time hire is premature.
How is an outsourced accounting engagement priced?
Most firms quote a monthly retainer tied to scope: transaction volume, number of entities, reporting needs and whether payroll or HR are included. Ask for the scope in writing and how changes are handled.
Will we keep our own accounting software?
Usually yes. Ask which systems the firm supports, who owns the login and the data, and how records are handed over if the engagement ends or you hire in-house.
What should we prepare for a first meeting?
Your chart of accounts, the last closed period, bank and payroll access lists, the cap table and any upcoming deadlines such as an audit, tax filing or board meeting. The more the firm sees up front, the more accurate the scope.
Antes de contratar
- Get the engagement scope, staffing and monthly fee structure in writing before work starts.
- Confirm who your day-to-day contact is and how quickly questions are answered.
- Ask how data and logins are handed back if you end the engagement or hire in-house.
- Check that the firm has worked with companies at your stage and in your industry.
- Agree how payroll and HR compliance tasks are divided between you and the firm.
