Accountants for ambitious early-stage founders.
SEIS and EIS, R&D tax relief, runway planning and investor-ready accounts, from pre-seed onwards.
Where founders in your sector get stuck
Investor readiness
Investors expect the accounts, the cap table and the forecast to agree with each other, and a round can lose weeks while somebody reconciles three versions of the same company.
SEIS and EIS advance assurance
Advance assurance is straightforward when the submission is complete and slow when it isn't, so we prepare it properly and handle HMRC's follow-up questions rather than passing them back to you mid-round.
R&D tax relief claims
Claims under the merged scheme need a technical narrative that a non-specialist inspector can follow, along with costs that tie back to the accounts, and we'd rather build a claim that stands up than one that maximises a number.

Common questions
Can you help with SEIS/EIS advance assurance?
Yes, including preparing the submission and dealing with HMRC's questions, and we'll tell you early on if we think the trade or the structure is likely to give them difficulty.
Do you run R&D tax relief claims?
Yes, covering the technical narrative and the calculations under the merged scheme, with the qualifying costs traced back to your records so the claim is supportable.
Can you set up an EMI scheme?
Yes, from the HMRC valuation through the scheme rules to implementation, and we'll flag the conditions you'll need to keep meeting once options are granted.
