Nordens Chartered Accountants
Technology Accountants London
Nordens are specialist technology accountants for SaaS, software and hardware businesses in London and Essex. We handle R&D tax credits, SEIS and EIS advance assurance, EMI share schemes, revenue recognition on subscriptions, investor and board reporting, and the fractional CFO support that founders need between seed and Series A.
Who we work with
The businesses we support every week.
SaaS and subscription businesses
Recurring revenue models needing deferred revenue, MRR reporting and unit economics that investors trust.
Pre-seed and seed startups
Founders raising for the first time who need SEIS and EIS assurance, a clean cap table and credible forecasts.
Funded scale-ups
Post-raise teams with board packs, covenant reporting and hiring plans to fund.
Agencies, consultancies and dev shops
Project and retainer businesses where utilisation and gross margin drive everything.
What usually goes wrong
The problems we are brought in to fix.
R&D claims that do not stand up
HMRC scrutiny on software claims has increased sharply. A weak technical narrative now invites an enquiry rather than a repayment.
SEIS and EIS missteps
Issuing shares in the wrong order, or before advance assurance, can cost your investors their relief and cost you the round.
Revenue recognition on subscriptions
Annual prepayments recognised on receipt overstate profit and distort your tax bill and your reported growth.
Cap table and share scheme drift
Informal promises of equity turn into expensive problems at due diligence. EMI needs valuations and paperwork done properly.
Runway managed on a spreadsheet
Founders often discover cash problems six weeks before they bite. Rolling forecasts change that.
Investor reporting that eats the week
Board packs rebuilt manually every month is time the founder should be spending on product and customers.
What is included
The work we do for you.
R&D tax credits for software
Technically robust claims with narratives written to survive HMRC scrutiny.
SEIS and EIS support
Advance assurance, compliance statements and share issue sequencing for your round.
EMI share schemes
HMRC valuations, scheme design and ongoing reporting for your key hires.
Cloud accounting and integrations
Xero connected to Stripe, payment platforms and billing so numbers are real time.
Fractional CFO and board reporting
Runway, unit economics, fundraising models and investor-ready board packs.
Corporation tax and compliance
Statutory accounts, corporation tax and Companies House filings handled on time.
Your team
Named senior people, not a call centre.
You work with the same senior contacts throughout, supported by a specialist team, with a director signing off the advice you act on. We are a privately owned firm, so the people you meet are the people accountable for the work.
