[Meet our experts](https://seedlegals.com/authors-and-experts/) and learn more about our review process and quality assurance in our [editorial policy](https://seedlegals.com/editorial-policy/) . # Agile Accountants: Serving strategic support throughout the startup journey Published: May 8, 2026 Contents [You need your financials sorted… yesterday](#you-need-your-financials-sorted-yesterday) [Expert contributor Anthony Rose Co-Founder and CEO](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/anthony/) [Writer Erin Deasy Junior Content Executive](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/erin-deasy/) The business idea is fun, the financials are… often not. And that’s where founders find themselves in a bit of a pickle – especially when they’ve already started gathering revenue. If this is you, it’s your lucky day. We’ve partnered with [Agile Accountants](https://agileaccountants.co.uk/about/) to loop together the disjointed mess of managing claims with one provider and your submission with another. Join SeedLegals CEO [Anthony Rose](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/anthony/) as he chats to Agile Accountants Co-Founder and Partner [James Faulkner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-faulkneracca/) about the goodies our customers can get from this hot-off-the-press partnership – and learn why starting those conversations early could save you from costly mistakes later on down the line. ## **You need your financials sorted… yesterday** ### **Here’s the problem:** - Accounting firms need a freshen up – they’re built to deal with established businesses with stable payrolls and predictable finances, neither of which are common for fast-moving startups. - They operate on inflexible terms and outdated processes, which can leave you frustrated if you’re a founder in need of agile support. ### **But wait! You can bring Agile Accountants on board** - Agile Accountants aren’t your average accountancy firm – they’re specialised in working with founders throughout their entire startup journey, tackling the tax efficiencies, bookkeeping, VAT and financial forecasts. - With Xero at the core of the software, integrated into payment processors like Stripe and sales CRMs *and* accompanied by tools like Dext to capture invoices and receipts… you’re looking at a platform that pulls together all the data you could need so you can minimise the time spent on admin tasks. - That initial price point can be scary, but delaying can lead to bigger costs down the line from errors or missed tax efficiencies. Even if you’re not ready to commit to lots of spending at an early stage, opening conversations with Agile Accountants will help shield against those irreversible mistakes. ### **Perks for SeedLegals customers** - Kiss goodbye to a disjointed process. We’ll help calculate your R&D tax claims, and Agile Accounting will submit your form to HMRC. No constant tab-swapping needed to access separate providers. - Benefit from tailored, ongoing support that feels like an extension of your business and bridges the gap between SeedLegals product and HMRC requirements. - Get a free consultation with a member of Agile Accounting. If you like it, sign up for recurring services and you’ll also have the first month of services at no cost. ### Discover perks worth £45k+ Explore tools and services to help your startup grow - all with special discounts and offers for customers.
