Specialist accountants for tech companies

Super hero accounting teamLondon is widely considered as an incredible launch pad for many tech companies; the city attracts international high-tech companies setting up their UK branch as well as entrepreneurs with great ideas.

The reasons are simple: private investors and talents abound in London, and the UK government has excellent programmes in place ready to invest and mentor.

Tech start-ups in London range from applications that benefit the sharing economy (think Uber) to enhancing one’s senses (think augmented reality), and cutting edge technology (think AI, robotics and biotechnology).

Just take a walk around the Shoreditch area of London, especially the cafes and meeting spaces; it’s alive with entrepreneurial spirit. Numerous Tech Hubs have been set up, often sponsored by larger more successful companies looking to kindle new ideas and spin off businesses.

In order for tech companies to be successful, the questions relating to accountancy, taxes, audit, grants, funding, and even business plans need to be answered with upmost clarity. This applies just as much to start-ups as it does established tech firms. This is where we come in. At Berley, our founders are entrepreneurs who think and act differently to most accountants. We see ourselves as business advisers not only to keep your financial affairs in check, but also to help you explore new ways of growing your business. Our goal is to set you free to focus on the important stuff – making your business a success.
