From pre-seed to Series A and beyond, we build financial models that grow with you - and help you raise, plan, and scale with confidence.
Startup-ready financial modelling
We build practical, flexible models tailored to startups. Whether you're raising capital, hiring fast or expanding, we create investor-grade models that help you forecast growth, manage cashflow and make confident decisions.
What's included:
- Custom 3-way forecast (P&L, cashflow, balance sheet)
- Revenue + cost drivers built around your model
- Scenario + sensitivity analysis
- Ongoing model support + updates (optional)
- Fundraising prep + investor support (optional)
- Our pricing is transparent and tailored to your needs. Whenever possible, we’ll provide a fixed fee proposal upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
Not your traditional accountant
We ditch the jargon and the hourly billing. Instead, we work on fixed-fee packages with support that scales as you do. All in the cloud. All startup friendly.

Startup founders ♥ Standard Ledger
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our clients have to say about working with us.
“Having Standard Ledger manage bookkeeping has freed up a lot of time. It means I spend less time worrying about money and more time thinking about the bigger picture.”
Jock Lawrence
"Standard Ledger was incredibly helpful in reviewing and modelling our finances. Thanks to their support, we reshaped our strategy and identified areas for growth. We are now ready for expansion into new sports and markets.”
Iggy Jovanovic
“It just made sense to hand our bookkeeping over to people I trust, who are very good at communicating with me. It frees up my brain space for the things I’m more skilled at. That’s really important.”
Shannon Gilleland
“Closing our £2.5m round with Octopus Ventures was a huge milestone for HealsGood AI. Standard Ledger were instrumental throughout the process – helping us stay investor-ready, manage due diligence and present a clear financial story. They brought real structure and focus, which made a complex raise feel controlled and achievable. Having that level of financial leadership on our side gave us the confidence to move fast and negotiate from a position of strength.”
