ACCOUNTANTS WHO GET TECH
Accounting for Tech Startups & SMEs
R&D tax credits. SEIS/EIS schemes. Investor-ready financials. We speak your language.
Built for Fast-Moving Tech Companies
We work with SaaS businesses, app developers, AI startups, and e-commerce platforms. Our clients range from pre-seed founders to Series B companies, and we understand that your accounting needs are different from a traditional business.
You need an accountant who understands recurring revenue models, can navigate R&D tax credits, and won’t blink when you mention equity dilution or convertible notes.
What We Do for Tech Companies
R&D Tax Credits
If you’re developing new technology, you could claim back up to 33% of your R&D costs. We identify qualifying expenditure and prepare your claim to maximise your return.
SEIS/EIS Compliance
Help your investors get up to 50% tax relief on their investment. We ensure your company meets all HMRC requirements and prepare the necessary advance assurance applications.
Investor-Ready Financials
When it’s time to raise, you need clean, well-organised financial statements. We prepare management accounts, financial projections, and due diligence packs.
Cloud Accounting Setup
We’re certified in Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent. We’ll set up your accounts properly from day one, with integrations for Stripe, Wise, and your banking.
Equity & Share Schemes
EMI option schemes, growth shares, and founder equity. We help structure compensation that attracts top talent while being tax-efficient.

Tech & SME Accounting: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you understand how tech businesses work?
Yes. We specialise in technology companies and understand SaaS metrics, recurring revenue models, stock option schemes, and the challenges of rapid growth. We speak your language and tailor our service accordingly.
Can you help with R&D tax credits?
Absolutely. Many tech companies qualify for R&D tax relief and do not realise it. We identify qualifying expenditure, prepare the technical narrative, and submit claims that typically recover 20–33% of qualifying R&D spend.
What accounting software works best for tech startups?
We recommend Xero for most tech businesses due to its API integrations, app ecosystem, and scalability. For very early-stage startups, FreeAgent is a cost-effective alternative. We handle setup and training.
Can you support us through a funding round?
Yes. We prepare investor-ready financial statements, management accounts, and projections. We also advise on share structures, EIS/SEIS compliance, and tax-efficient equity arrangements for founders and investors.
How do you charge for tech company accounting?
Our packages are based on business complexity, not hourly rates. Tech SME packages start from £149/month and include accounts, bookkeeping, payroll, and strategic advice. Get a tailored quote at our quote calculator.
