Our expertise

We understand
technology & saas

Technology businesses operate on a different set of financial principles. Burn rate, runway, ARR, CAC, LTV — the metrics that matter are often not the ones traditional accountants understand. We speak the language of tech. We've worked with founders at pre-revenue, post-seed, and Series A stage, and we understand what investors look for and how to build towards it.

The challenges

What makes technology
accounting complex

01
R&D tax credits
The merged R&D scheme provides meaningful relief for qualifying development work. We identify eligible activities, build the technical narrative, and maximise your claim — compliantly and confidently.
02
Investor-ready financials
Investors expect a financial model, a data room, and management accounts in a specific format. We help you build and maintain the financial infrastructure that makes due diligence straightforward.
03
Runway modelling
Knowing your runway — and understanding the scenarios that extend or shorten it — is fundamental to capital allocation. We build and maintain the models that keep you informed.
04
Cap table and share schemes
EMI option schemes, EIS/SEIS qualifying status, growth shares, 409A valuations — we advise on the equity structures that attract and retain talent and satisfy investors.

Client story
I spent three years with an accountant who I spoke to twice a year. In the first month with Runway I had more useful financial conversations than in that entire time. They actually know my business.
