Consero Global Solutions now numbers Linden Lab among its clients. Consero GS provides financial and accounting services, accounts payable, payroll, procuring, inventory and so forth. According to WebCPA, Linden Lab hopes to save a million US Dollars over the next 36 months, compared to doing all this in-house.
It's not really a very surprising move. Most startups outsource their accounts/financial operations as they grow, to take advantage of economies of scale. I don't recall the last time I worked for a company that did any of this in-house.
