Tech & SaaS Businesses
We provide outsourced finance for SaaS and tech companies across the UK that have outgrown a year-end accountant, from early stage start-ups to scaling software businesses preparing for their next funding round. You get monthly reporting built around how a tech business actually earns and spends money, and a finance director who can sit across the table from your investors.
When the finance setup stops keeping up
Most tech founders reach a point where the numbers they have no longer answer the questions they’re being asked. It usually looks like this:
- Investors or the board ask for recurring revenue figures and you have to rebuild them from scratch each time.
- You can see cash in the bank, but you’re not confident how many months it will last at the current hiring rate.
- Annual contracts are invoiced up front, and the accounts don’t show how much of that money has actually been earned.
- You know you’re entitled to R&D tax relief, but nobody has kept the records a claim needs.
- You want to offer share options to key hires and don’t know where to start.
What we run for you
✔ Monthly reporting built for subscription businesses
Each month you get a reporting pack that shows annual and monthly recurring revenue, how much revenue you’re losing from customers who leave, and how that compares with the month before. Income from annual contracts is spread across the months it relates to, so your profit figure reflects what you’ve earned rather than what you’ve invoiced.
✔ Cash runway you can plan around
We keep a rolling 12-month cash forecast, updated with real figures every month, so you always know how long your cash will last and how a new hire or a slower sales quarter changes that.
✔ R&D tax relief claims
We work with your technical team through the year to record qualifying development work as it happens, so the claim is accurate, well supported and ready on time rather than pieced together at year end.
✔ Share options and investor schemes
We advise on setting up EMI share options for key staff, and on SEIS and EIS so your investors can claim the tax relief those schemes offer.
✔ Investor and board reporting
Your finance director prepares board packs, financial models and the numbers investors ask for during due diligence, and can join investor meetings with you.
How it fits together
All of this runs through our outsourced finance team service on a single rolling monthly contract. Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and year-end compliance are handled day to day, and the reporting and finance director support scale up as the business grows. Packages start from £695 a month plus VAT.
