How startup finances drift as you scale, and how we bring discipline

Pre-revenue stages focus on building, not bookkeeping, so expenses and subscriptions scatter. Contractors are hired fast, sometimes where employment would be cleaner, and payroll, benefits, or options come late. Revenue—when it arrives—spans geographies and PSPs, and VAT treatment can be fuzzy. Board reporting becomes a monthly scramble, and runway updates lack confidence.

We fix this by centralising expense flows, standardising your chart of accounts for meaningful categories (including R&D), and building a simple month-end that’s light enough to run consistently. We’ll clarify contractor vs employee considerations, put a payroll rhythm in place when the time is right, and produce reporting that founders can actually use. If R&D credits apply, we align evidence capture with the engineering reality so claims are timely and defensible. One client moved from ad hoc reports to a concise monthly pack with MRR, cash runway, and a clean expense view; investor updates are now based on numbers everyone trusts.
