Hillview Consulting and Accountech

Hillview Consulting builds financial models for the clients of Accountech, an Edinburgh-based accounting firm serving impact-driven climate tech and life science / medical device start-ups and scale-ups.

Stephen Gibbens, Founder of Accountech, on working with Hillview:
“Adding Tom to what we can offer to our impact driven tech startup clients has made all the difference”

“There are three areas that tech startups especially need expert help with from their accountant which they may struggle to get at a reasonable cost from a traditional accountancy firm:

  • SEIS/EIS Tax Advice

  • R&D Tax Credits

  • Financial Projections

It is always Financial Projections that comes first as start-ups need to be able to determine how much funding they need to raise and to prove to investors that their business model works and can generate the returns for founders and investors that justify the investment.

Tom has the necessary skills and experience to design models tailored to the specific client and which are flexible enough for them to run different scenarios and also are easy to update with actuals. Adding Tom to what we can offer to our impact driven tech startup clients has made all the difference and what he does integrates seamlessly with the rest of our work. He is also a really nice guy and works very well with the rest of our team and with our clients so it is a real win win situation and he has become one of our most trusted and valued subcontractors at Accountech.”


Building a model for your startup?

I work with founders directly as well as through accounting partners. Drop me an email to discuss your project — you'll usually get a response within a working day, and I can demo a startup financial model so you can see what you'd be getting.
