SaaS Accounting Built Around Recurring Revenue

You might bill monthly, annually in advance, or via usage-based or hybrid pricing, all of which require careful revenue recognition and deferral. Our SaaS accountants prepare precise management accounts, statutory accounts, and corporation tax returns.

Revenue Recognition & Subscription Reporting

Incorrect revenue recognition can mislead investors and cause compliance issues. We ensure subscription income from Stripe, GoCardless, Chargebee or your own platform is captured consistently and recognised in line with UK accounting standards.

Tax Efficiency and R&D Reliefs

SaaS companies often invest heavily in product, infrastructure, and innovation. Our experts provide measured, compliant tax advice covering R&D tax relief, capitalisation of development costs, group structures, and share schemes such as EMI.



Xero, Integrations & Automation

Fast-growing SaaS businesses need streamlined, automated finance stacks. We design and manage cloud-based bookkeeping around tools like Xero and QuickBooks Online, integrated with Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly, and your CRM or billing platform.

Global Customers, VAT & Sales Tax Complexity

Selling digital subscriptions across borders brings complex VAT and sales tax obligations. We advise on UK VAT rules for digital services, manage VAT returns and MOSS/OSS where relevant, and help you structure pricing and invoicing to stay compliant while protecting margins.
