IT companies operate in a landscape of recurring contracts, international suppliers, and complex VAT rules — especially when selling a mix of hardware, software, and services. Generic accounting can lead to missed claims, compliance gaps, and poor forecasting. 

We help technology businesses in Greater Manchester tackle financial challenges including:

• Tracking project profitability and recurring revenue
• Managing stock and inventory fluctuations
• VAT on software licensing and cross-border sales
• Claiming available tax reliefs like R&D credits
• Automating systems for greater efficiency

Our services are designed to address the specific financial challenges of IT companies:

• Revenue Recognition & Forecasting: We help track Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), manage accruals for service-based contracts, and deliver accurate budgeting and forecasting.

• Financial Modelling & Board Packs: We build financial models to support strategic decision-making and fundraising. We also prepare board packs and management accounts that include key performance indicators (KPIs), narrative commentary, and trend insights.

• Cashflow Forecasting & Working Capital Management: We support clients with dynamic cashflow forecasts and help optimise working capital cycles to ensure financial stability and growth readiness.

• R&D Tax Relief Claims: We identify qualifying R&D activities, prepare robust claims, and help maximise tax relief for innovative software and development work.

• VAT & International Trade: We advise on VAT for digital services, SaaS platforms, EC sales, and reverse charge rules. We also help hardware resellers handle import/export regulations, OSS/IOSS schemes, and international compliance.
