Accounting & bookkeeping
Solid monthly numbers, done right, so you always know where you stand.
The finance partner behind the numbers
Meet Thryve: the team that gets your numbers ready to grow, and ready to sell.
Texas Exit Advisors helps you sell the business. Thryve Accounting & Advisory is the sister firm that gets the financial side in shape long before a buyer shows up. Same founder, two jobs: clean, trustworthy books and real strategy while you own the business, and a set of numbers a buyer will pay a premium for when you sell.
Accounting and advisory for founder-led businesses in growth mode.
What Thryve does
Not your average accountants.
Most firms hand you a report and walk away. Thryve treats the numbers as a tool for running the business, not a compliance chore. The work covers the full stack, from the daily books to the boardroom questions:
Month-end close
Clean, efficient closes that turn a two-week scramble into a fast, reliable package.
Budgeting & forecasting
Clarity on where you are headed, and what the cash will do before it does it.
Fractional CFO & controller
Big-picture strategy and sharper operations, at a fractional commitment.
Tax
Proactive compliance and planning, so tax season brings zero surprises.
Financial projects
From fundraising to M&A readiness, the one-off work that moves the number.
Built for founder-led businesses in growth mode.
Thryve goes deepest where the accounting is hardest and the stakes are highest. Consumer brands live and die on inventory, trade spend, and cash timing. Trades and construction firms run on job costing and work in progress. Service firms run on utilization and retainers. Thryve knows those economics cold.
The core niche is CPG founders, with more than 158 million dollars of consumer revenue under management, plus construction and trades and other founder-led service businesses. If you are scaling and your numbers are starting to feel like a black box, that is exactly the problem Thryve solves.
Clean books are the quiet reason a business sells for more.
Here is where the two firms meet. When you sell, a buyer pays on a multiple of your earnings, and they only pay full price for earnings they can trust. Messy, cash-basis books with undocumented add-backs get discounted, or the deal dies in diligence. Clean, accrual books with a real monthly close and documented add-backs hold up under scrutiny, and that is what protects your multiple.
That readiness cannot be built in the weeks before a sale. It is the product of how the books were kept for years. So the smartest move an owner can make, whether a sale is one year out or five, is to get the finance function right early. Thryve does that work every day. When it is time to actually sell, Texas Exit Advisors runs the process and the negotiation.
How the pieces fit
One founder, two firms, the whole journey.
Nic Barbagallo co-founds Thryve with his wife Rhiannon and advises founder-led exits through Texas Exit Advisors, with transactions executed through Optima Mergers & Acquisitions. That means one relationship can carry you from the daily books all the way to the closing table.
Financial readiness and ongoing strategy run through Thryve Accounting & Advisory. Sell-side positioning and the deal itself run through Texas Exit Advisors and Optima. You are never handing your business to a stranger who is meeting your numbers for the first time.
