As founders who've scaled startups, we understand the tax, payroll and finance challenges firsthand. That's why we started the accountancy we wished we had when building our company in 2016. From company setup to fundraising, growth, and exit, we support startup founders with tailored accounting services every step of the way: • VAT returns • Bookkeeping • Annual accounts • Payroll & pension • Company secretarial • Management accounts • Corporation tax filings • Support with EMI returns • Support for R&D tax credits What sets us apart? We've been in your shoes. We've grown a tech startup to 40 people, had multiple fundraising rounds, scaled to profitability, and signed up 13 million users. All this resulted in a successful acquisition in 2022, but not without its fair share of administrative headaches that surfaced during our 8-month deal & due diligence process. We wanted to help founders avoid any of these issues when they come to exit their business.
