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 accounting for technology companies team are early adopters of technology and 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.
