The accountants UK tech founders actually trust. SaaS bookkeeping, R&D & EMI, funding-ready accounts, IR35 and international VAT — all in fixed monthly fees. 45+ UK tech firms on our books.
Tell us about your business — we'll explain how we can help and what it would cost.
SaaS, IT services, dev agencies, hardware, AI/ML — we work with UK tech founders every day. Here's where we add the most value beyond what a generalist firm offers.
Deferred income, MRR/ARR reporting, churn-aware cash forecasting, multi-currency Stripe and revenue-recognition treatment that survives due diligence.
R&D tax credits, EMI option schemes, SEIS/EIS advance assurance and Patent Box — set up correctly the first time. See our R&D service →
Investor-grade management accounts, three-statement models, due-diligence packs and cap-table support. We've helped clients close £15m+ in rounds with clean books from day one.
Cross-border digital-services VAT, US Delaware subs, EU OSS, contractor IR35 status determinations and overseas-employee tax — without the £400-per-call big-firm bill.
Most generalist accountants do one or two tech returns a year. Here's what tends to slip — usually until a fundraise, exit or HMRC enquiry exposes it.
SaaS subscriptions need to be deferred and released monthly. Generalists routinely book the full year on day one — your P&L looks great until an investor asks for restated accounts.
You hire a lead engineer, offer equity, then realise the tax consequences are horrible without EMI. Set up before the offer goes out — the difference is enormous.
Books look fine — until DD opens them. Mis-classified contractors, missing cap-table reconciliations, sloppy revenue recognition. We've seen clean rounds blow up at the last minute over this.
Most dev shops hire contractors on ambiguous terms. When HMRC comes knocking — usually during an R&D claim review — the lack of status determinations turns into a six-figure NIC problem.
"Switched from a Big Four firm halfway through a Series A. They'd been billing us £4k a month and the books still weren't DD-ready. Sutton Roff cleaned everything up in three weeks, ran the R&D claim, set up EMI, and the round closed two months later. Half the price, twice the work."
SaaS, dev agencies, IT consultancies and managed-services firms, hardware and IoT startups, AI/ML and data teams, marketplaces, and B2B platforms. We work with founders from pre-revenue through Series B — and we know when to refer out (we'll tell you).
Yes — and it's cheaper than fixing it later. The mistakes that hurt most (no EMI before key hires, no SEIS advance assurance, messy founder shareholder loans) all happen pre-revenue. Getting the foundation right costs us a few hours; un-doing it later costs you tens of thousands.
Yes. Delaware C-Corp setups, transfer-pricing for UK/US revenue split, EU OSS for digital services, multi-currency reconciliations, and overseas employee/contractor tax. We won't pretend to be tax counsel in 30 jurisdictions — but we'll cover the common ones and bring in specialists where you need them.
All in scope. R&D submissions are billed on success (typically 15% of the credit) and come with full enquiry defence — see the R&D page for detail. EMI scheme setup, SEIS/EIS advance assurance and Patent Box claims are quoted on a fixed-fee basis after the intro call.
Fixed monthly fees from £180+VAT for early-stage Ltd companies, £350+VAT for funded SaaS & IT-services firms, and £750+VAT for full-service scaleups with payroll, multi-entity and management accounts. R&D claims billed on success. Free 20-min review before you commit.
