Technology

In today’s uber-competitive market, with its tighter financial scrutiny, UK tech firms benefit from working with energetic sector specialists who will help maintain their high pace of delivery with timely, accurate services.

There is no typical HaysMac technology client. We provide expert support for clients at every stage of their lifecycle.

We build relationships with owner-managed start-ups and scale-ups, private equity backed mid-market firms and large publicly listed companies, industry bodies and corporate partnerships.

The golden thread is technology specialism and service excellence. Our experience of working with hundreds of tech businesses helps us anticipate the challenges you face now and into the future.

For ambitious scale-ups, we offer a suite of services to fully outsource their finance function or develop select services in partnership with their finance teams. Well-established firms rely on our audit, tax compliance, transaction advisory, international expansion, capital markets, tax advisory, M&A advisory and exit planning services.

Why HaysMac?

Living the journey with fast-growth scale-ups as a multi-service lifecycle provider

We support dynamic entrepreneurial businesses and advise them through their lifecycle. As they scale, we’ll scale with them. As their needs change, our support will evolve, spotting new opportunities along the way.

Often, the relationship starts when the client sets up their business, outgrows their existing provider, needs specialist advice or requires their first audit.

In a tough fundraising environment, we also help early-stage businesses to unlock tax incentives such as R&D tax credits, employee share options or the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) in compliance with exacting HMRC inspection.

Speed is of the essence in technology. Clients appreciate our efficiency of service

Given our sector specialism, we believe our services are better quality than the very biggest accountancy firms. Our energetic office space and high employee retention rate mean that client work isn’t slowed by bureaucracy, staff churn and constant re-education. Like all of our sector teams at HaysMac, we are extremely personable and good at building strong relationships.

Our team are early adopters of technology who are entrepreneurial by nature. We enjoy being the yang to the yin of extremely talented and visionary founders, bringing our aptitudes such as attention to detail and meticulous procedure.
