Who We Help
Accountants for tech businesses
Financial management and strategic advice for ambitious tech companies.
Chart Accountancy, specialist tech accountants
Technology businesses operate in a fast and demanding sector. Products evolve quickly, and investment cycles can be intense, meaning that traditional accounting often falls short.
To manage the complexity, you need an accountant who understands not just finance, but the nature of the tech sector. At Chart Accountancy, our specialist accountants work closely with all kinds of tech startups and companies to help them make sense of their finances.
Whatever stage your business is at, we can help you stay grounded in the data, not lost in it. We can implement clear financial systems that support innovation and provide stability for long-term business growth.
Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credits
Innovation is expensive. Fortunately, the UK government recognises that and pays billions in R&D incentives to companies each year. This is a very valuable source of income, yet thousands of companies miss out because the rules are complex and claims are time-consuming.
We can ensure you are rewarded for your R&D work, giving you more money back in your business, ready to reinvest. Our team manages claims from start to finish, including identifying projects that meet the criteria, qualifying costs, and submitting the claim.
Business growth and strategic support
Scaling a tech business involves talent, ambition and analysis. We can help you create data-led business plans, plan for future hiring needs, test different financial scenarios, and map out how investment will shape your company over time.
For startup teams, we focus on getting the basics right early. For fast-growing companies, we help refine systems to handle complexity without slowing you down.
Tax planning
Tax in the tech sector can become complicated quickly. Things like grants, international teams, subscription income and development costs all contribute to your tax obligations in ways that might not be obvious.
Our tax services ensure you are always aware of your position and prepared for each tax bill well in advance. We’ll keep you compliant while also making full use of tax reliefs and deductions to keep more money in your business.
Outsourced finance team
Some technology businesses grow faster than their finance admin can keep up. Outsourced finance teams from Chart Accountancy give you the structure and support of an internal team without the overhead costs and HR responsibility.
We can handle your entire finance function remotely so that you can stay focused and maintain momentum. And when you’re ready, we can provide FD-level support to assist you in periods of rapid growth.
Bookkeeping and VAT
Bookkeeping is essential to knowing where your business stands at any given time. If your books are kept well, everything else – reporting, VAT returns, cash flow planning – follows seamlessly. Using Xero, our preferred cloud-based software, it is simple to record financial transactions, receipts and invoices, and reconcile payments. It can also be integrated with your existing tech, such as Stripe, Hubspot and Chargebee.
Payroll
Payroll for startups can be relatively simple to manage in-house, but as your team grows, it can become a time drain. Most growing tech firms choose to outsource payroll management to free up time, maintain compliance and ensure their teams are paid on time.
