Comprehensive Startup Accounting Services
Every startup has different needs, and our accounting services are designed to support you at every stage. Our core services include:
Business Formation and Structure Advice: Choosing the right business structure is crucial. We help you understand the pros and cons of operating as a sole trader, partnership, or limited company, guiding you through registration with Companies House and HMRC. Our advisors ensure your structure is tax-efficient, aligning with your business goals.
Cash Flow Management and Financial Forecasting: Cash flow is the lifeblood of any startup, and managing it effectively can mean the difference between success and failure. We work with you to create realistic cash flow projections, manage operating expenses, and identify funding needs, ensuring you’re prepared for both opportunities and challenges.
Bookkeeping and Records Management: Accurate bookkeeping is essential for startups, especially when aiming to secure investment. We handle day-to-day bookkeeping, expense tracking, and financial reporting, so you always have a clear, up-to-date view of your finances. Our digital bookkeeping solutions keep everything streamlined, helping you stay organised and compliant.

We offer full payroll services, handling everything from monthly salaries to National Insurance, PAYE, and pension contributions. Our expertise ensures your employees are paid accurately and on time, without adding to your workload.
Strategic Financial Planning for Startups
Startups need a solid financial strategy to drive growth. At Griffith Accountants, we provide strategic financial planning services to help your business thrive. Our expertise includes:
Budgeting and Cost Management: Effective budgeting is critical for managing resources in the early stages of a business. We help you set budgets, manage costs, and identify opportunities for savings, allowing you to operate efficiently and maximise your funds.
Tax Planning and Compliance: Navigating the tax landscape as a startup can be challenging, with numerous allowances, deductions, and potential tax reliefs. Our proactive tax planning services ensure you benefit from every opportunity to reduce liabilities, from R&D tax credits to SEIS/EIS tax reliefs for investors. We also handle VAT registration, filing, and compliance, making tax season hassle-free.
Funding Guidance and Investor Support: Many startups need funding to scale, and we provide guidance on securing grants, loans, and investor funding. We help you prepare financial documents, manage investor relations, and maintain records for due diligence. Our support ensures your startup is financially ready for investment and compliant with all legal requirements.
Financial Reporting and KPI Tracking: Tracking your business’s performance is essential for informed decision-making. We provide custom financial reports, helping you monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and track progress against goals. This insight supports data-driven growth strategies, ensuring your startup stays on track.
