Accounting partners for fast-growing businesses

Growth-focused accounting, advisory and cross-border expertise delivered by a dedicated, expert team.

Join the UKs fastest growing startups and SMEs

Most accounting firms weren't built for businesses like yours

When your business is moving fast, the last thing you need is an accountant who’s slow to respond, sends last-minute requests, or expects you to already know how everything works.

Lean finance teams don’t have time to chase. Founders don’t have time to translate jargon. And nobody can afford to discover a compliance problem after the fact.

You need accountants who work the way your team works: in your tools, at your pace, responding when it matters.

There’s a better way to run your finance function.

How we're different:

Your accountant feels like part of your team

Most accounting firms promise a dedicated accountant but few actually deliver. Our clients work with their own dedicated team who get to know their business inside out. We join your Slack, work in your tools, respond when you need us and regularly meet in person.

Fixed fees, premium service

Pay one, affordable monthly fee to have all of your accounting & advisory needs taken care of.

Ad-hoc questions always welcome. Fast responses from the right person. Finance that supports your pace, not slows it down.

Expert guidance = better decision making

Our combined experience in Chartered Accountancy and corporate finance means we know the power of strong financials and how to leverage them to grow your business in the right way.

A full finance team without the hiring cost

Instant access to chartered accountants, tax specialists and international advisors at a fraction of the cost, delay and management overhead of building in-house.

Pick and choose what support you need as you scale.

Don't take our word for it...

Founder, Project5
"Project5 is the 5th business I’ve started, so I knew the importance of getting a partner to help me on the trials, tribulations, odd rules and hence frustrations of the various accountancy aspects of a start-up. Now in our scale-up stage, I’ll be sticking with Rise Accounting as they've simply delivered on what I needed."
