Startup & Founder FAQs
Common questions from founders and growing startups
At what stage should a startup hire an accountant?
Ideally from day one. Even pre-revenue startups benefit from proper structure, financial modeling, and tax planning. We help you set up correctly from the start—choosing the right entity structure, opening business accounts, implementing accounting software, and building financial projections that support fundraising.
Do you help with investor pitch decks and financial modeling?
Yes. We create investor-ready financial models with realistic assumptions, revenue projections, cash flow forecasts, and unit economics. We’ll help you articulate your path to profitability and prepare for investor due diligence questions about your numbers.
What's the difference between a bookkeeper and what you offer?
Bookkeepers record transactions. We provide strategic CFO-level guidance—financial planning, fundraising support, investor reporting, scenario modeling, cash runway management, and growth strategy. You get proactive advice, not just compliance.
How do you charge for startup services?
We offer startup-friendly pricing with fixed monthly fees based on your stage and needs. Early-stage companies might start at £300-500/month for core accounting and advisory, scaling as you grow. We also offer project-based pricing for fundraising or specific strategic work.
