Startups & SaaS

Fundable, scalable financial foundations for founders building the next big thing.

Industry

Startups & SaaS, in depth

Investors read your numbers before they read your pitch deck twice. A startup's books need to do double duty from day one — clean enough to survive diligence, and structured in a way that actually helps you run the business between raises. We work with founders from incorporation through to Series A and beyond, building bookkeeping, burn-rate tracking, and reporting that speaks the language your investors expect, in both the US and UK venture ecosystems.

Sector expertise

What we handle

  • Investor-ready monthly reporting: burn rate, runway, MRR/ARR, and cohort metrics
  • R&D tax credit and relief claims (US federal credit; UK R&D relief)
  • SAFE, convertible note, and priced-round accounting
  • Multi-entity structuring for US/UK dual-headquartered startups
  • Cap table-aware bookkeeping that stays clean through funding rounds
  • Fundraise-readiness reviews before diligence begins
Pitfalls

Common pitfalls we help you avoid

  • Books that look fine internally but don't survive investor diligence
  • Missing eligible R&D credits because nobody flagged the claim window
  • Discovering a structuring problem only when a US or UK investor asks about it
