About ClearBooks CPA
ClearBooks CPA isn’t your average San Francisco CPA team. We’re a digital-first firm with deep startup roots and Big 4 precision—founded to give ambitious businesses and creators the strategy, systems, and clarity they need to scale.

We started where most CPA firms don’t—inside the startup trenches.

ClearBooks was born from real operational experience—not just theory. Founder Sugam Sharma saw the disconnect firsthand: growing businesses either worked with overpriced legacy firms or under-qualified bookkeepers with no strategic insight.



After auditing at Goldman Sachs, managing financials for M&A deals, and guiding high-growth teams through investor rounds, Sugam built ClearBooks to deliver CPA-level strategy, startup fluency, and proactive support—all without the bloat.
