Real Results from Tech Startups

"Accounted Ltd guided us from MVP to funding-ready - our R&D refund covered six months of costs."

Startup Success

A London-based SaaS startup needed investor-ready financials for their seed round. We established monthly reporting processes, prepared comprehensive financial projections, and handled their R&D tax credit claim. The R&D refund provided crucial runway extension, and clean financial reporting helped them close a £250k investment within four months.
