Transform Your Business with Ascendant’s Expert Support
Ascendant can do so much more than just accounting & tax, building and managing your finance function while improving your business with CFO support.
Accounting & Tax
Our starter accounting service is a foundation for growing your business. Incorporate all the accounting, tax, software and support you need now, and be upgrade-ready for our finance and CFO services.
Finance Function
We design, build and run world-class finance functions for your business. Proven systems, processes and reporting to scale your business with confidence and peace of mind. Our people are your people.
CFO Services
Our CFO services provide strategic support to guide a growing business. A little CFO level support can go a long way to help your business achieve its full potential.
SEIS & EIS
The SEIS/EIS schemes should be considered by all growth focused start-ups for both proving investment potential and to attract cash-ready equity investors.
R&D Tax Credits
We consider the different items you might include within an R&D claim to give you more credit. R&D Tax credits are a corporation tax relief that may reduce your tax bill, or in some situations, you may receive a payable tax credit.
EMI & Others
When you feel it’s right to do so, we can help you plan, allocate and schedule the share options for your business. To help attract, retain and incentivise their teams, many clients consider employee share options (ESO). Equity.
Business Funding
A good understanding of the options available is an essential starting point and will enable you to select the type of finance right for your circumstances and plans. We carry out the preliminary preparation work to successfully finance your business objectives.
Who we help
Common questions in specialist sectors
Our teams specialise by sector — the metrics, the reliefs, the funding routes — so you’re never explaining your business model to your accountant.
eCommerce
“Sales are up 40% — so why is there never any cash?”
Marketplace fees, inventory and cross-border VAT reconciled automatically, so you see true margin by SKU and channel.
Tech, SaaS & AI
“Are our metrics actually ready for investor diligence?”
MRR, deferred revenue and board-grade reporting — with SEIS/EIS, EMI and R&D handled under the same roof.
Professional Services
“Which of our projects actually make money?”
Utilisation, WIP and lock-up tracked as standard, with project-level margin reporting every month.
