Specialist accountancy and tax advice for technology
businesses through every stage of growth

Speak to the team

Technology businesses move quickly and the financial decisions pile up fast. Funding rounds, valuation conversations, EMI grants, R&D claims, international expansion and the eventual exit can all demand urgent attention in a compressed timeframe.

An adviser who cannot keep pace or who handles each issue in isolation without understanding how it connects to the others, creates risk at exactly the moments when the business can least afford it.

Our technology team works with software businesses, SaaS companies, fintech, health tech, hardware and the wider tech sector.

From early-stage start-ups through to established mid-market businesses, we provide the audit, tax, advisory and corporate finance work that growing technology companies need.

How we deliver the technology sector advice

To truly advise and support you, we need to understand the unique nature of your business and the innovations you deliver.

We take the time to get to know the product, the market, your funding history, the team structure and roadmap so that we can offer services and guidance that meet your needs.

From there, the work runs alongside the growth of the business. Audit and accounts at each year end, R&D claims annually, EMI scheme administration as the team grows, transfer pricing as international operations develop and corporate finance support at each funding round are all delivered as the business needs them.

Our expertise

  • Audits of growing technology businesses
  • Statutory accounts under FRS 102 and IFRS, where applicable
  • R&D tax credits under the merged scheme
  • EMI scheme design, implementation and administration
  • SEIS and EIS qualification and advance assurance
  • Corporate finance support through funding rounds
  • International expansion and transfer pricing
  • Founder personal tax planning
  • Exit preparation and transaction support
  • Subscription revenue recognition and SaaS accounting

What you can expect from our technology team

Three things define how we work with technology businesses:

Pace that matches your business

Tech businesses operate on a different timetable. Funding rounds, board reporting and the wider operational tempo all run at speed. Our team works to the timetable the business actually needs.

Continuity from start-up through exit

Many of our technology clients have worked with us from early stage through to substantial scale and eventual exit. The cumulative knowledge of the business across the years supports the work being done well at each stage.

Strategic input where it matters

Beyond the routine compliance and audit work, we provide the strategic financial input that technology businesses need at key moments. Funding, international expansion, EMI grants, founder exit and the wider corporate development conversations all benefit from senior input.

Technology businesses come to us because they want an adviser who acts as a consistent guide across the stages of growth – one who keeps pace with the business, brings genuine technical depth and understands how the decisions at each stage connect to the ones that come after.

Insights

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you support us through a funding round?

Yes. Our corporate finance team works with technology businesses on funding rounds from seed and Series A through to later-stage growth capital. We support on the financial model, the data room preparation, the diligence response and the substantive negotiation around the term sheet. The audit team makes sure the historic financial information stands up to investor scrutiny.

How do you handle international expansion?

We work with technology businesses expanding overseas on the structuring of the international operations, the transfer pricing framework, the local establishment and the personal tax position of internationally mobile employees. Where local advice is needed in another jurisdiction, we work through PrimeGlobal.

Do you act for venture-backed businesses with international investors?

Yes. The standards expected by venture capital and growth equity investors around financial reporting, board information and the underlying audit work are met by our team as a matter of routine. We are comfortable working in the governance environment that institutional investors expect.
