R&D relief, SEIS and EIS, EMI and share schemes, and investor-ready accounts are specialist enough that general accounting experience is not the same as specialist experience.
We are specialist accountants for funded and scaling UK startups: pre-seed founders preparing for a first raise, VC-backed companies managing R&D and EIS compliance, SaaS businesses navigating VAT place-of-supply, and software development companies with EMI option pools.
The compliance obligations at each stage of growth are specific: claim notification deadlines for R&D, EIS1 and EIS3 compliance statements after investment, EMI grant notifications and the annual ERS return by 6 July. Getting these right is the substance of the engagement, not a side effect of it.
We handle R&D merged scheme and ERIS claims, SEIS and EIS advance assurance and compliance, EMI scheme setup and ongoing reporting, share scheme design, Corporation Tax planning, and the investor-ready accounts that boards and future investors expect.
We work on a fixed-fee basis and you hear back within one working day.
