Accounting, Compliance and Advisory for founders scaling fast.
From idea to legacy, we help founders build lasting companies with clarity and confidence.
That’s why we partner with founders and investors - bringing financial precision and practical, commercial advice grounded in lived experience - to help our clients make better decisions as they scale.
We’re not just an accounting practice. We’re founders, operators, and investors who’ve felt the pressure of payroll, managed burn rate, submitted R&D claims, scaled globally, navigated due diligence, closed multiple funding rounds, and successfully exited businesses. We understand firsthand that founders need advisors who’ve been there - who combine real experience of scaling and exiting with a deep understanding of startup metrics, employee share option plans, cap tables, enterprise valuations, R&D tax incentives, Early Stage Innovation Company (ESIC) concessions, and the nuances of capital-raising terms.
Our clients value that we bring rigorous financial expertise together with the practical perspective of people who’ve built, funded, and grown companies themselves.
Growing a business is fast, messy, and demanding.
Practical experienced with all financial aspects of starting, scaling, exiting and investing in startups.
Flexible accounting, tax, fractional CFO, and commercial advisory support that grows with you.
We harness AI & technology to reduce the cost and effort of compliance and to unlock insights that accelerate your growth.
Peace of mind that your ASIC, Tax, R&D, ESIC, ESOP & Grant compliance and reporting are handed by a trusted advisor so you can focus on what’s important.
