Online accounting firm for startups
By Agnieszka Saladra, Certified Accountant
A startup plays by its own rules. Rapid scaling, funding rounds, grants and R&D projects mean that accounting for a startup requires far more than simply recording invoices. You have to reconcile grant settlements with separate record-keeping, account for research and development costs, run incentive schemes for the team and produce the financial reports investors expect. The sooner you set this up properly, the fewer problems you will face at the next round or during a grant provider's audit.
Luno-Group is an accounting firm for technology companies that works day to day with founders, software houses and young companies financed by grants and VC capital. We combine ongoing online accounting with the settlement of grants, R&D costs and option schemes, and we prepare financial statements for investors. We work fully remotely, in Polish or English, adapting to the pace and working culture of a startup.
Young companies developing a digital or technology product that need orderly accounting, grant settlements and financial reports even before their first major round.
IT firms and development teams carrying out research and development work who want to record R&D costs correctly and are considering the R&D tax relief and IP Box.
Entrepreneurs moving from a sole proprietorship (JDG) into a company, attracting investors and building incentive schemes for the team (ESOP, options).
We keep separate records for projects funded by NCBR, PARP and EU funds, and we prepare the reports and settlements required by the grant provider.
We help record research and development costs correctly and calculate the R&D tax relief, so you have a full picture of the benefit. The decision to apply it is yours.
We calculate the effect of the preferential 5% PIT/CIT (personal/corporate income tax) rate on income from qualified IP and compare settlement options, leaving the choice to you.
We support the accounting treatment of option schemes and ESOP for the team, so that motivating employees stays consistent with the company's records and reporting.
We prepare financial statements and KPIs for investors and VC funds, supporting you with the data needed during rounds and for cap table reporting.
We handle accounting as you scale and move from a sole proprietorship (JDG) into a company, putting the records in order for the startup's next stage.
We work fully online, so you send documents and data through the Client panel, with no office visits, and we keep your startup's accounting at a pace that suits you. We serve clients only in Polish or English (PL / EN), which makes cooperation easier for international teams and communication with foreign investors. Your company is handled by an experienced accountant who knows the realities of settling grants, R&D costs and reporting for VC funds. We calculate and present the options, and leave the decisions to you.
Before you entrust us with your startup's accounting.
Yes. We keep separate records for projects co-financed by NCBR, PARP and EU funds, among others, and we prepare settlements and reports for the grant provider. We combine the company's ongoing accounting with separate project settlement, so that costs go into the correct records.
The R&D tax relief lets you additionally deduct research and development costs from the tax base. Whether it can be applied depends on the nature of the business carried out. We help record R&D costs correctly and calculate the potential benefit, but the decision to use the relief is yours alone.
IP Box is a preferential 5% PIT or CIT (personal or corporate income tax) rate on income from a qualified intellectual property right, for example proprietary software. We calculate the effect of applying it and compare settlement options based on your data, and the final choice is yours.
Yes. We prepare financial statements, metrics and the data needed during funding rounds and for reporting to investors and VC funds, including information that supports keeping the cap table. We tailor the scope to the expectations of specific investors.
