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...

"Communication was great from the very first interaction, through onboarding and now working together. It was fast and straightforward to progress which is important given how quickly we’re moving."

"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."

"Setting up a business in the UAE from abroad can feel pretty daunting, and I wasn't sure where to start. Rise Accounting made the whole process a lot more straightforward than I expected. Their insight has had a meaningful impact on my tax position."

"Highly personable and results oriented company. Had the pleasure of working with Ashwini, who helped us at every stage and made critical and intelligent suggestions that were instrumental in achieving our objective in SEIS approval."

"Integrity, reliability, and communication are what matter most and Rise Accounting has ticked all three boxes. I know if the team goes off to do something, it will be delivered to the standard we agreed on."

"They are super responsive and aim to deliver quality. We've been using them for almost 2 years and really pleased with Fatjeta and the rest of the team. Would highly recommend if you want an Accounting Firm that lets you safely get back to business."

"The whole team really know their stuff technically speaking. I’m no longer having to check the accounting work being delivered which is a huge time save."

"Coming to Dubai from Europe we were looking for somebody that could cover all our concerns when it comes to understanding the tax legislative landscape. One year later I can safely say that Rise has been nothing short of excellent."

"Their attention to detail and proactive approach has made a significant difference in streamlining our financial processes - helping me to run my business more efficiently."

"Very good and experienced accountants. They are more than service providers, they are partners."
