From the first paying customer to a Series B audit or acquisition, software companies need clean revenue recognition, the right sales tax footprint and every available research credit. We support founders and finance teams at each stage.
Serving United States, Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland.
What we handle
Subscription revenue must be recognized over the service period under ASC 606, with deferred revenue, contract modifications and multi-element arrangements handled correctly, especially before an audit or due diligence. Many states tax SaaS or digital products, and economic nexus after Wayfair means sales tax can apply in states where you have no employees.
Development work often qualifies for the federal research credit, startups can use it against payroll taxes, and domestic research costs can be deducted immediately under section 174A. Founders need 83(b) elections, 409A valuations and C corporation structures that preserve QSBS. Remote teams create payroll registrations in each state.
Speak with an advisorWhere we help
Subscription and implementation revenue recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
Economic nexus allows states to require sales tax collection from remote sellers.
Immediate deduction of domestic research costs for tax years after 2024.
QSBS exclusion for qualifying C corporation stock, which California does not follow.
