Finance in a Box Welcomes GyroHR

Most founders didn’t start a company because they wanted to become experts in payroll compliance, month-end close, or performance review cycles. They started it to build something. But growth has a way of pulling attention toward the back office anyway, and the more a company scales, the more that back office splits across disconnected vendors, each with their own systems, their own point of contact, and their own version of what’s actually going on. 

We built Finance in a Box to close that gap on the finance side. Today, we’re closing it further. 

GyroHR, founded by Rakhi Shaha, has joined forces with Finance in a Box. 

Rakhi and her team bring years of hands-on HR expertise directly into the platform our clients already rely on. Recruiting, HR operations, performance management, leadership development, learning and development, and HR advisory are now part of what FIAB offers, delivered by the same team already handling your books, with reach across both the US and India. 

Why this, and why now 

Growing companies don’t experience finance, people, and operations as separate problems. They experience them as one continuous problem: too much complexity, not enough senior judgment in the room, and a growing list of vendors who don’t talk to each other. A finance team that doesn’t understand the HR picture, and an HR function that doesn’t understand the cash picture, end up solving half a problem each. 

That’s the thinking behind bringing GyroHR into FIAB. As Rakhi put it, “businesses do not experience finance, people, and operations as separate functions. When a company is growing, all of these have to work together. Strong organizations are built when the foundation behind the business is equally strong.” 

This is the same instinct that led Founder & CEO Amit Mulchandani to start FIAB in the first place: give founders one accountable partner instead of a patchwork of vendors, so they can spend their time on the business they’re actually building, not on stitching together the systems behind it. 

What’s available now 

• Recruiting, from individual roles to broader hiring support 

• HR operations, the day-to-day infrastructure that keeps a people function running 

• Performance management, building the processes that help teams actually grow 

• Leadership development and learning & development, for companies investing in the people who’ll take them to the next stage 

• HR advisory, senior judgment on the people decisions that don’t have an obvious playbook 

All of it is available in both the US and India.  

What doesn’t change 

If you’re already a FIAB client, your finance team and how we support you stays exactly the same. Nothing about your current engagement shifts because of this. What changes is what’s now available to you if you need it: a people function you don’t have to go find somewhere else. 

Rakhi is taking on the role of Chief People & HR Practice Officer at FIAB, a mandate that spans two things she cares about deeply: building FIAB’s own internal culture as the company scales, and growing the client-facing HR practice alongside FIAB’s existing finance capabilities. In her words: “This is not about leaving behind what we built at GyroHR. It’s about taking everything that experience taught us and building on a much larger canvas.” 

One partner, more of what you actually need 

To every client who has trusted FIAB with their finance function, thank you. This is one more step toward the reason we started this company: so founders and CEOs can spend their time on the business they’re building, not on untangling finance, HR, and the rest of the back office themselves. 

If HR is on your radar right now, whether it’s a single hire, building out a people function from scratch, or expanding your team into India, we’re already set up to help. Reach out, and let’s talk about what that looks like for you.
