Our Services
Accounting for Tech Companies
A GREAT set of financial statements informs decision-making in real-time. It allows you to know your burn rate and runway and understand your KPIs to drive profit margins. We understand that tech companies have nuances like MRR/ARR and Deferred Revenue Recognition. Our trained team loves to get into the nitty gritty of accounting and does not shy away tackling complex transactions.
Taxes for Tech Companies
Founders a Tax Return can be way more than just a compliance exercise - done correctly, tech companies can realize valuable R&D Tax Credits that put cash back into your business to extend runway and drive growth, set the founders up to take advantage of favorable capital gains rates through Qualified Small Business Stock treatment (QSBS) and save yourself from making painful errors that can lead to serious penalties for not filing the right forms at the right times.

Client Testimonials
We have a proven track record of working with early stage technology companies and have a passion and curiosity for the amazing ingenuity of the founders we have a privilege to work with everyday!
“Akshay, Kimberly, Jay, and the entire ShayCPA team has been a partner to Runway since the beginning. They have managed all of our monthly bookkeeping and necessary federal and state tax returns, while also handling additional, more specific matters such as R&D tax credits and state-specific sales tax filings. They have been responsive, flexible, and incredible partners to work with since our Seed round, and we have scaled with us even as we more than 6x’d the company.
“We have been working with Shay CPA for a few years. The team is always very professional and gives clear advice, guidance, and insight. Their ability to understand the infrastructure of a highly technical start-up has been so helpful as we continue to grow and scale.”
“Shay CPA is the very best accounting firm I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Akshay is on top of what’s important, and he’s also very tech savvy which makes working with him seamless and efficient!”
“Akshay (and his team) are more than just our accountants, they have served as the backbone of our start-up’s infrastructure. Helping us navigate all sorts of tax and regulatory requirements, technology and professional services partner selection, and general thought partners, they’ve really gone above and beyond in terms of their willingness to engage with us. While it’s still relatively early days, I’ve been incredibly impressed and look forward to continuing to work with them!”
