See packagesStartups accounting — common questions.
When should a startup begin bookkeeping?
From the first company transaction. Early records prevent founder expenses and share capital becoming a costly clean-up before filing or fundraising.
Can founders claim expenses paid personally?
Genuine business expenses can generally be reimbursed when supported and recorded correctly. Keep the invoice, business purpose and proof of payment.
Does every startup qualify for the Start-Up Tax Exemption?
No. The company must meet the prevailing conditions, and the exemption does not remove proper tax computation and filing requirements.
What should we report to investors monthly?
Track cash runway, burn, revenue, gross margin where relevant, major expense movements and upcoming obligations.
