How We Work: A Reliable Accounting Process for Startups

As startup accountants in London, we combine disciplined finance operations, cloud accounting technology and direct access to experienced advisers. The result is a finance function that stays accurate and reliable as your business changes.

Our approach

A clear operating rhythm from onboarding to board decisions.

01 · Understand

Learn the business

We review your structure, systems, records, deadlines, commercial model and immediate priorities.

02 · Build

Create a reliable foundation

We configure Xero and connected tools, clean the ledger and agree responsibilities and reporting dates.

03 · Operate

Keep finance current

Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and month-end work run to a visible, repeatable calendar.

04 · Explain

Turn reporting into answers

We highlight cash movement, margins, risks and opportunities without hiding the meaning in accounting language.

05 · Plan

Model the next decision

Hiring, pricing, funding and tax scenarios are assessed before commitments are made.

06 · Evolve

Increase support as you grow

Management reporting, investment readiness and virtual FD input are added when the business needs them.

Technology-led accounting

We let cloud technology do the heavy lifting.

Manual spreadsheets slow founders down. We build your finance function on Xero and connected cloud tools, using automation to handle reconciliation, data entry and reporting so our advisers can focus on what the numbers mean for your business, not just recording them.

Cloud accounting

Xero as the single source of truth

Bank feeds, invoicing and payroll connect directly into Xero, so your numbers are current every day, not just at month-end.

Automation

Less admin, fewer errors

Automated bank reconciliation and receipt capture reduce manual entry and the errors that come with it.

Dashboards

Real-time visibility

Management dashboards give founders a clear, current view of cash, margin and runway whenever they need it.

Who you work with

Named people—not a ticket queue.

You receive a clear point of contact supported by specialists across bookkeeping, tax, payroll and advisory work.

  • A lead adviser for important commercial decisions
  • A client manager who understands your deadlines
  • A bookkeeping team responsible for the monthly close
  • Specialists added when tax, funding or compliance requires them
  • Communication by email and phone, with agreed review meetings

Build a finance function you can rely on.

We will start by understanding what is working and what is getting in the way.
