IT businesses move fast — from SaaS subscriptions and recurring revenue to contractor-heavy teams and rapid growth. Whether you run a software company, IT consultancy, MSP, app business, or digital agency, you need accountants who understand your revenue model and tax opportunities.

Do IT Companies Need Specialist Accountants?
Absolutely. Tech accounting often includes complexities that general accountants may not optimise:
- Revenue Recognition: Subscription billing, deferred income, and multi-year contracts.
- R&D Tax Relief: Identifying qualifying development work and preparing robust claims.
- Contractors & IR35: Managing contractor payments, compliance, and payroll structures.
With the right advice, you can improve reporting, claim valuable reliefs, and make smarter growth decisions.

What Our Customers Say
FAQs
IT & Technology Accounting FAQs
Subscription income may need to be treated as deferred revenue when invoices are issued in advance.
We help you set up correct revenue recognition so your accounts reflect performance accurately,
and you can track MRR/ARR and churn with confidence.
Many software and development businesses can qualify for R&D relief, but claims must be well-evidenced.
We assess your projects, identify qualifying costs, and prepare a compliant claim to maximise the benefit.
VAT depends on where your customer is based, whether it’s B2B or B2C, and what you’re supplying.
We advise on VAT treatment for UK, EU, and international sales and ensure compliance under MTD.
Contractor-heavy teams need clean processes for invoicing, payroll where required, and documentation.
We help you structure contractor arrangements, manage payroll where appropriate,
and reduce compliance risk around status and reporting.
Fees depend on turnover, transaction volume, payroll complexity, and the level of reporting you need.
