Technology & Life Sciences

Being on the brink of the latest advancements means tech companies have very specific and complex needs. Remaining profitable means capitalizing on market opportunities and sustained growth in an increasingly global marketplace while navigating the rapidly-changing financial and accounting landscape.

Our Edge

Our team provides financial management guidance and dependable business advice so you can focus on your business. Nimble, practical and proactive, our flexible internal structure and team approach means we are able to partner with our clients and offer them well-rounded advice, connections and guidance well beyond the scope of the traditional CPA firm. Guidance and advice that grows with the needs and challenges of your company. 

We’ll help you tackle accounting for equity, debt financing, start-up costs, intangible assets, monetizing stock-based compensation, and licensing arrangements. The day-to-day challenges of running a business along with the ever-present need to raise capital financing to offset growth and cash “burned” in doing research and development leaves little time to develop sound business practices and efficient operations.
