“We didn’t hesitate to outsource our Company set up to Standard Ledger. Knowing that they’ll let us know what’s needed, where to sign and what to do is a huge weight off our shoulders. Our bank even commented on how well set up our documentation was!”
“R&D tax is an annual critical source of funding for us and we’ve used Standard Ledger since the beginning. It’s also been crucial to have the R&D finance option to get us through until we could get some more funding.”
“We wanted to plan an exit and needed someone to get us to the next level so we could realise the full value of our business. Standard Ledger handled the entire process. Negotiating a sale like that is intense. We would not have achieved the result we did without Remco’s commercial acumen and cool rational advice.”
“The CFO service gives us expertise we can lean on. It’s been a massive help, including during capital raising when you need a really good financial model and a CFO who can come to Board meetings and talk numbers.”
“For me, having CFO support has been vital for everything from insurance documents to financial modelling, and strategic advice and guidance. Working with Remco and Mike has transformed my knowledge personally, and also enabled us to grow safely. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.”
“Standard Ledger helped us with our cap table, financial projections and valuation. Through working with them, I’ve learnt to understand the numbers, which means I’m more empowered when talking to investors and suppliers.”
“Standard Ledger developed a financial model that has been invaluable to our growth. It has given us visibility across our cashflow and provided the clarity and confidence we needed to take things to the next level.”
“The team has been a financial sounding board for us. They’ve worked with us on all our capital raising, including doing the financial modelling we needed to get our initial investor to back us in the beginning.”
“Standard Ledger has been a massive help, including during capital raising when you need a really good financial model and a CFO who can come to Board meetings and talk numbers.”
“Our focus has been on developing a factory very quickly. From an accounting perspective, there’s a lot to come to grips with – tax, payrolls and all the rest. It’s daunting. Standard Ledger allowed us to outsource all that and get on with everything else. This has been invaluable.”
