What Our Startup Accountants London Offer

Getting the financial foundations right in your first year prevents most compliance problems startups face later. Our startup accountants in London handle company formation and HMRC registrations, set up your books correctly from the first transaction, and provide ongoing support as your business grows — so you’re never rebuilding your records when it’s time to raise funding or file your first accounts.

Company Formation

Companies House incorporation, director and PSC identity verification, and all statutory documentation.

Bookkeeping & Software Set-Up

Xero or QuickBooks configured correctly from your first invoice.

VAT & PAYE Registration

Registering for VAT and payroll as soon as it's needed, not after HMRC asks why.

Business Plans & Funding Support

Plans, forecasts and figures prepared for Start Up Loan and investor applications.

Ongoing Compliance

Annual accounts, Corporation Tax and confirmation statements filed on time.

COMPANY FORMATION

Company Formation & Companies House Compliance

Our startup accountants London handle the full company formation process  name reservation, Companies House registration, shareholder and director set-up, and the Memorandum and Articles of Association  with incorporation typically completed within 24 to 48 hours.

Since 18 November 2025, Companies House has required directors and People with Significant Control to verify their identity before appointment, either at incorporation or when an existing director’s next confirmation statement is filed. We manage this verification as part of our service, so it’s one less thing for a first-time director to get wrong.

Bookkeeping, VAT & Payroll

BOOKKEEPING, VAT & PAYROLL

Set Up Correctly From Day One

Most of the compliance issues we see in early-stage businesses trace back to bookkeeping that wasn’t set up properly at the start. We configure Xero or QuickBooks against your business structure from your first transaction, register you for VAT when it’s mandatory or worthwhile voluntarily, and set up PAYE the moment you take on your first employee or pay yourself a salary — all built to be Making Tax Digital compliant from the outset.

FUNDING & GROWTH

Business Plans & Start Up Loan Support

Our startup accountants London prepare business plans, financial forecasts and cash flow projections for UK Start Up Loan applications through the British Business Bank, alongside investor-ready figures for early funding rounds. We work with you to understand your business goals, market position and projections, building a credible financial narrative to support your application, with guidance on SEIS/EIS-eligible structuring where relevant.

R&D Tax Credits & Growth-Stage Planning

If your startup is developing new products, software or processes, R&D tax relief can be one of the most valuable reliefs available to a young company — many never claim because they don’t realise their work qualifies. As you scale past the formation stage, we also introduce management accounts and part-time virtual CFO support to keep growth financially disciplined.

See our IT & Engineering page for more on R&D tax credits.
