Carr Accounting StudioChartered Accountants

Founder-led businesses, at every chapter.

We work with founders — whether it's just you, a team you've built, or a board you answer to. We shape the work to fit the chapter you're in.

Solo · 01

You're a solo founder

It's just you, your business, and a to‑do list that never ends. You need finances handled — properly, proactively, and without having to chase anyone.

You're probably dealing with

  • Not really knowing what you can safely pay yourself each month
  • Tax bills that somehow always catch you off guard
  • An accountant who disappears between year-ends
  • Wondering if you're leaving money on the table — but not knowing where to look
  • Putting off financial decisions because you're not sure what's right

Team · 02

You're running a founder-led team

You've built a team around you, but nobody owns the numbers. You need a finance function that runs itself, and a partner who'll step in when decisions matter.

You're probably dealing with

  • Bookkeeping that's always "mostly caught up"
  • Management accounts that arrive too late to act on
  • Making hiring and spending decisions without real numbers
  • Cash flow surprises you should have seen coming
  • A finance setup held together with duct tape and good intentions

Funded · 03

You're building a funded business

You have capital behind you and people expecting results. You need investor‑grade numbers, cash visibility, and a finance function that scales with your ambition.

You're probably dealing with

  • Investors asking for things you don't currently produce
  • A runway model that doesn't match your actual burn
  • Month-end close that takes too long and arrives too late
  • Board packs cobbled together the night before
  • A finance function post-funding, post-hire, post-Series A — that needs cleaning up
