GET UP AND GROW

GET UP AND GROW

Full-stack accountancy
for seed-stage startups

Simplified financial admin. Monthly accounts, sorted. Strategic advice. A financial partner on call. Everything you need to supercharge your startup’s growth. In one neat, monthly package.

The financial insight you need to grow. Without the admin or hassle.

You need to understand the story the numbers tell, but you can’t afford a full-time CFO. You want real-time management information and advice, but your accountant takes too long to get up to speed. The compliance side is confusing, and the admin takes up too much of your time. You want someone to come in, help you understand what’s actually going on and deal with it all. That’s where we come in.

Full-stack financial support from Seed
to Series A

  • Everything you need to balance the books, including bookkeeping, payments and invoice raising, standard accounts, payroll, pension, VAT and companies house.

  • Monthly management accounts, financial reporting, forecast model updates and attending your monthly meetings. Everything you need in an Finance Director, without the hefty pay packet.

  • Strategic advice on growth, fundraising support and advice, boardroom meetings, investor relations, non-equity fundraising support.

  • We support clients through fundraising rounds, be that seed or Series A, treating this as a separate project on top of the monthly billing. To build your data room and support you with VCs through the raise, we change our fees at a small percentage of the raise, typically 0.1-0.3% depending on the final raise amount.

Helping your business work smarter, and money work harder

We work at the speed of your team, optimising your finance stack, processes and cashflow to make your funds go further now, and set you up for investment success in the future. We get you the information you need, while taking care of all the accountancy admin you can’t wait to ditch. And we’ll even save you money on your tax bill. No matter where you are with your fundraise, we’ll help you raise your game.

On your team. On your side.

We only partner with a small number of clients at any one time, so we can focus on your needs and flex what we do to give you the best service possible. By working as part of your in-house team, we’ll be able to give you the real story behind the numbers, help you make fully informed business decisions and make sure you’re taking advantage of every grant and scheme going as your business evolves.

Founder - Ben Adams

I’m a chartered accountant and portfolio CFO with a real passion for helping UK tech startups grow. Together with my team, we get you the management information you need to make the right calls, optimise your processes and handle time-consuming financial admin. 

I started my career in Mazars’ tax team, qualifying and leaving for the startup world as soon as I could. Since then, I’ve worked as operations director of Ask the BOSS, advising small businesses on growth, before working as CFO of Claimer and FC of Trade Ledger, both Fintech startups. In all my roles, I’ve advised on finance and business strategy, working with product and tech teams to achieve product-market fit and raise investment. I’m now using those hard-won skills to help other seed-stage startups do the same.
