You'll never be out of the picture when working with us.

Tech startups and companies we work with

Early-stage startups

During the early stages of startup, every decision matters. We help you create a solid foundation, making sure your structure, tax position, and cash flow are working in your favour. We'll make sure you're prepared for investment pitching and growth opportunities.

SaaS and app developers

Recurring revenue models need real-time data and smart forecasting. We help SaaS founders and app developers understand their unique financial situations and optimise cash flow with monthly financial statements and modern accounting software that keeps them running efficiently.

Platform-based businesses

Multi-sided marketplaces and platform-based businesses face complex financial flows. We help by implementing tools to track transactions and keep you up to date with regulatory requirements. We also provide tailored management account services to reflect real performance.

Fintech and AI ventures

Fintech and AI companies move fast, and so do we. When you're making breakthroughs and managing funding rounds, we provide the compliance, insights, and strategic support to help you grow sustainably and stay ahead of the competition.

Our accounting services for technology businesses

Our accounting services for technology businesses

As accountants for tech startups, we understand that your focus is on product development, growth, and funding. Not so much tax and accounting.

Our startup accounting services for technology companies take care of your financial responsibilities, giving you the time and space to focus on your business journey.

Bookkeeping

When your financial management is in order, the rest of your accounting falls into place. We'll help you take the first step in organising your finances so tax returns and business decisions can be made much easier.

We use cloud-based software to organise and record financial transactions, reconcile bank accounts, generate reports, and automate bookkeeping tasks, giving you the time you need to focus on business growth.

Financial forecasting and budgeting

Financial clarity is key to scaling your tech business. We provide the data so you and your leadership team can look ahead and make confident financial decisions. With accurate forecasts and strategic cash flow management, you'll be able to clearly see how much runway you have until the next funding round.

We provide financial modelling to help you test different scenarios and determine where your budget is best spent, such as on new hires, product innovation, or research and development. It also helps you understand how specific challenges, such as delayed funding, can impact your business.

Cloud accounting services

While technology may not be new to you, accounting software might be. Our Xero Certified advisors work fully in the cloud, giving you fast access to your data.

For tech startups using multiple tools (like CRMs, payment gateways, or project management platforms), our cloud solutions can seamlessly integrate with your tech stack. We manage the setup and customise your accounting system to meet your business needs, automating processes to save you hours of admin time - and headaches.

Investment scheme advice

Complex investing schemes like SEIS, EIS, and EMI aren't just for big investors, and when done right, they can open you up to huge tax benefits. We'll give you actionable advice and guidance, from pitch decks to HMRC approval, ensuring your tech business appeals to investors.

Tax relief claims

Tech companies are innovators at their core and often qualify for significant tax savings thanks to smart incentives like R&D tax credits. We'll help you determine your eligibility for R&D tax relief and other tax-saving benefits related to the technology industry.

Tax advisory services

We go beyond reducing your tax bill and provide strategic tax planning advice year-round so your budget goes further. We review your past and present company taxes and look at how to make them more efficient while also refining aspects like business structure to keep your tax obligations low.
