tech accounting

Accounting built for tech startups, by people who speak your language.

Most accountants don't understand SaaS revenue models, funding rounds, or burn rates — you end up teaching them your business instead of building it.

"Rise took the time to grasp that much of this happens on the balance sheet before P&L, which was critical for us. Other accountants struggled to understand our model."

Why generic accountants cost tech companies more

Traditional accountants treat subscription revenue like one-off sales. They can't produce investor-grade reports, and you waste hours translating your business model for them.

Why does tech-specific accounting expertise actually matter?

SaaS companies recognise revenue differently. Deferred revenue, MRR, and ARR need specialist handling — mistakes here create problems with investors and HMRC alike.

01

Revenue Recognition

We handle deferred revenue and subscription billing correctly so your books reflect reality.

02

Growth Metrics

Churn, CLV, and MRR tracked accurately so you and your investors see the true picture.

03

Funding Cycles

We understand burn rates and runway because we work with funded startups every day.

Tech-specific expertise

What does switching to Rise actually look like?

Tools and integrations

Your questions, answered honestly

Is Rise Accounting the right fit for every tech company?

Honestly, no. We're not a DIY platform. If you want fully self-serve accounting with zero human interaction, we're not the right fit. We're built for founders who want a dedicated partner, not a dashboard.

Right fit

How does pricing work — are there hidden fees?

Bespoke monthly packages tailored to your stage and needs. Fixed fees with no clock-watching — ask as many questions as you want without worrying about a bill.

Pricing details

What if our books are a mess from a previous accountant?

We clean up legacy issues as part of onboarding. It typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on complexity — we won't rush accuracy. Your books will be right before we move forward.

What qualifications and credentials does your team have?

Chartered Accountants with corporate finance backgrounds. ACCA qualified staff with a rigorous internal training programme. Official Xero and QuickBooks partners.
