Accountants for IT Companies & Tech Start-Ups
The UK leads the way when it comes to digital innovation. Thanks to a combination of homegrown talent and financial investment, it is now considered by many to be the tech capital of Europe. As the pace and complexity of new technology and IT developments increase, the need for specialist accounting services is more important than ever.
Accounting services for digital and technology entrepreneurs
The UK is a hotbed for tech talent including software designers, app developers, hardware manufacturers and animation producers (to name but a few!). With the government continuing to invest in innovation through R&D tax relief, VGTR, patent box and other incentives, there couldn’t be a better place to put these sought-after skills to good use and build your own technology company.
At Approved Accounting, we can provide you with more than just the day-to-day basics. Whether you are a tech start-up in need of strategic advice, an innovative SaaS, or a growing Fintech company seeking more comprehensive support, we have the experience and know-how to help you succeed.
It’s time to take what you deserve
It’s hard to keep innovating when you don’t have the means, but thanks to a vibrant capital-raising market, access to debt funding is becoming simpler every day. Government support, such as grants and specialist tax relief schemes, allows companies within the technology industry to claim a generous deduction or cash refund from HMRC.
We’ll ensure that your innovations are recognised and that you claim the funds your business is entitled to. R&D tax incentives, for example, are available to all small—to medium-sized companies, provided their projects meet the correct criteria.
Patent Box Tax Regime & Video Games Tax Relief
At Approved Accounting, we can advise on the availability of R&D tax credits as well as the Patent Box tax regime and Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR). So, don’t let your business be one of the many missing out on these tax relief schemes. If you think you qualify, or for more information, get in touch with us today
