Technology & Startups

Technology & Startups

Scaling a tech company requires agile financial strategies. We guide startups from seed stage to exit with expert tax and accounting support.

R&D Tax Credits

Innovation should be rewarded. The Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit is one of the most valuable incentives for tech companies, yet it is often overlooked.

We identify qualifying activities—from software development to process improvement—and calculate your credit to offset payroll taxes (for startups) or income taxes.

Equity Compensation Planning

Attracting talent with equity is standard in tech, but the tax implications of ISOs, NSOs, and RSUs are complex for both the company and the employee.

We help you structure stock option plans correctly and assist employees with 83(b) elections and AMT planning to avoid surprise tax bills.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our service.

What is QSBS?
Qualified Small Business Stock (Sec 1202) allows founders and early investors to potentially exclude up to 100% of capital gains upon exit.
Do pre-revenue startups need tax filings?
Yes, you must act to claim losses and certainly to elect R&D payroll tax offsets.
How is SaaS revenue recognized?
Revenue must be recognized over the service period (subscription), not all at once when cash is received. We ensure GAAP compliance.
What is an 83(b) election?
It allows a founder to pay tax on the value of stock at grant (often near zero) rather than at vesting, saving massive amounts later.
