Startups

This isn’t a sector so much as a state of mind, or maybe you could call it a culture. It’s about businesses with big ideas, bold ambitions and new approaches. Sometimes, however, these dynamic new businesses need support with the less exciting stuff – compliance, planning and tax – as well as someone to talk to who gets it and will ask the right questions.

From day one, we support startup clients through our business setup service. There are a whole load of statutory requirements, from registering with HMRC to getting compliant payroll systems in place. We can take care of all of that for you, because we know the Government forms and systems inside and out.

Because we’re a technology-driven accounting firm, we’re also able to give advice on software. For managing your businesses finances, we recommend cloud accounting apps from Xero or QuickBooks – but we also know HR systems, customer relationship management (CRM) systems and so on. From procurement to set up to training and support, we’ll be there.

Startups are born with a focus on growth – work hard, build the brand and maybe wait for investors or buyers to come knocking. We can help you on that journey with ongoing management accounting reports, detailed business planning and, of course, advice on tax efficient business structures.

To achieve that growth, startups need capital. You might decide to bootstrap it or, like most people, look to lenders and investors for support. Business planning is one part of this. Detailed financial forecasts, based on accurate numbers, are another. Potential investors will always jump to the cashflow and profit data at the back of the prospectus first.
