Accounting for startups
Runway, burn and investor-ready reporting from day one.
Overview
Startup accounting keeps the two numbers that decide a company's next twelve months — burn rate and runway — accurate and current, alongside books clean enough to survive investor due diligence.
Early-stage finance has a different job from established-business finance. Nobody is optimising a tax position yet. The questions are how long the money lasts, whether the last hire changed that materially, and whether the numbers will hold up when someone experienced looks at them properly.
Getting this right early is mostly about discipline rather than complexity — but the cost of getting it wrong lands at exactly the worst moment, in the middle of a raise.
What we handle
- Monthly burn rate and runway, updated as things change
- Revenue recognition that reflects how you actually contract
- Deferred revenue and prepayments handled properly
- Investor and board reporting packs
- Due diligence support during a raise
- R&D tax credit documentation where the jurisdiction allows it
- A chart of accounts that will still work at ten times the size
