Tech & High Growth
The Tech & High Growth Startup team work directly with entrepreneurs, supporting them in meeting their compliance obligations and preparing for scale.
The Tech & High Growth Start-up team exist to help venture backed companies fulfil their potential and scale when the time is right. We are a bridge to the venture capitalist ecosystem and recognise that the best early stage businesses, are only early stage for so long.
So, whilst our specialist team are focussed on ensuring your reporting and compliance ticks all the right boxes, they’re also working with you to understand your plans for scale and how we can make that happen for you and your business.
Our start-up team are one with the scale-up team. With expertise across all service lines, working exclusively with businesses in the high growth ecosystem.
Taking businesses from seed to series c, to unicorn and beyond – we don’t tap out when your accounting and advisory needs change. Delivering advice at speed without the red tape.
You can see how this holistic approach comes together below…
When you’re in the thick of growing a dynamic business you want to work with a team that can match your pace and perseverance. What you don’t need is changing faces or worse, no real people at all.
Advisory, accounting, VAT, payroll, bookkeeping, software, subscriptions and strategic finance – we can do it, so can every other start-up firm, right?
We actively work to ensure you don’t need to be with an early stage accountant forever, we want you to graduate to a scale-up requirement. Now not every other firm is saying that, are they?
Whether it’s helping you build internal finance functions or introducing you to VCs for your next round of funding, we take the proactive route to scale, for every client we work with.
Of which there are a fair few! Check out some of clients and ecosystem connections below:
Long standing relationships with the key players in the ecosystem are integral to what we can bring to the table for founders and their businesses. From VCs to other professional service offerings, accelerator programmes and beyond.
It’s all about partnering with the people that matter, to deliver content and support in accessible ways. We’re big believers in paying it forward and share our insight as far and wide as we can. We love this ecosystem and care about its ability to thrive – anything we can do help that is a big yes from us.
Founders Forum, Foundrs, London Technology Club, HSBC Innovation banking – just some of the names we partner with.
Often these partnerships and our content focus on shared challenges, from share options to getting ready for diligence. Think of it as an all-access pass to topics you’ll want to consider as you grow.
If you’ve got this far and maybe checked out our Scale-up team, you might be thinking you land somewhere in the middle of all this. Your business is of the ground, you’re building a killer team and a customer base to envy but you’re not quite ready for audit services. We got you.
Here’s where our strategic finance offering comes in.

Partner & Head Early Stage Tech & High Growth
Great service on audit, responsive and professional. 5 star. Non audit service pricing though is not in line with audit pricing; service great but pricing high; therefore 4 star overall. I guess comparative pricing reflects the nature of the CP partnership structure; how you structure is up to you of course but when it impacts customer experience then it probably needs a look at. Thanks again for great service overall.
Good relationships, positive feedback and being understanding of impact of other work etc. Although this had to be done remotely, the process would benefit from face to face and discussions to explain the unique context of our organisation and funding streams.
“Great service and always timely communication. I feel we have a partner supplier rather than just an auditor”
“We always get a quick reply whenever we have an issue or a query. It was a very good team of auditors that undertook our audit once again – a mixture of continuity and some new faces – and accommodating our tight reporting deadline was much appreciated”
“My first encounter with the CP audit team and I was impressed. Calm, reliable, organised and ultimately professional. Understanding and sympathetic to our circumstances and keen to work with us to achieve an outcome”
“Smooth audit with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have received great input from both audit partner and manager in my first year as CFO. I have appreciated the pragmatic and flexible approach”
“Robust communication. Excellent support. Supportive business partnership”
“Always prompt with accurate advice and accounts. Cannot think how you can improve”
“Audit processes work very well with Inflo and supported well by phone calls or Teams calls throughout the audit process. Outside of audits, advice on any matters financial is usually quick and helpful and never appears to be too much trouble. Any of the audit teams we have worked with throughout the years have always shown the same friendly professionalism that is supportive, fair and informative, which is crucial when and if things don’t always go to plan or unexpected outcomes occur. Thank you very much”
“The team are always responsive and their approach to audit is refreshingly solution orientated. I already refer them on a regular basis”
