The Numbers
Behind the Work
Technology companies carry accounting complexity that most general practices aren't set up to handle. Feldspar works with the pieces that matter — equity compensation, capitalized development costs, R&D credit eligibility — and puts them together cleanly.
What We Deliver
Financial Clarity for Businesses That Move Fast
A technology startup's financial picture looks different from any other kind of business. The accounting treatments are distinct, the investor expectations are specific, and the tax planning opportunities require documentation that most firms don't think to build from the start.
Investor-Grade Reports
Monthly financial statements with operating metrics woven in. Prepared to the standard that seed investors and Series A boards expect — not just compliance minimums.
Equity Plan Accounting
Options, RSUs, ESPPs — all tracked against vesting schedules with proper fair value calculations and the supporting footnote schedules your auditors will ask for.
R&D Credit Documentation
Qualifying activity narratives, expense categorization, and credit calculation — organized into a package that can be substantiated if the IRS or other authority examines the claim.
Why It Matters
Built Around What Technology Companies Actually Face
General accounting practice covers the basics adequately. But seed-through-Series B companies routinely encounter situations — software capitalization decisions, multi-currency books, equity grant windows — that need someone who has handled them many times before.
Stage-Appropriate Work
Coverage scales from early formation through Series B complexity. Chart of accounts, equity register, and reporting all adapt as your capitalization table and headcount grow.
Multi-Currency Handling
Clean recording of foreign-currency transactions with consistent treatment across periods. Useful when you're billing customers in EUR, paying contractors in GBP, and reporting in USD.
Software Capitalization (ASC 350-40)
Proper separation of preliminary, application development, and post-implementation phases. The kind of policy decision that needs to be made at formation, not when auditors arrive.
ASC 718 Compliance
Stock-based compensation tracked from grant through exercise, with supporting schedules ready for footnote disclosures and tax preparation — not assembled at year-end under pressure.
The Process
How an Engagement Works
A structured approach that reduces the time your team spends on financial administration while producing records that hold up when you need them.
Discovery
We review your current state — chart of accounts, existing records, equity structure, and what you need for the next board meeting or fundraise.
Setup
Accounts are structured for your stage. Equity schedules, capitalization policies, and monthly reporting templates are put in place from the beginning.
Monthly Work
Books are closed on schedule. Equity entries are recorded. Your monthly financial package is delivered with operating metrics alongside the standard statements.
Year-End Planning
Year-end close, R&D credit documentation, tax preparation support, and planning for the upcoming year's reporting and compliance requirements.
Track Record
Experience in the Situations That Count
In transactions accounted across client portfolios
Equity compensation plans tracked and maintained
Full stage coverage from formation through growth
Years focused on technology sector accounting
