Built for founders
who move fast.
Building something new is hard enough. VCA provides the financial foundations and structural advice that let founders focus on what they do best — building product and winning customers.
Overview
Early-stage companies face a unique set of financial and structural challenges — and most traditional accounting firms aren't set up to help with them. VCA specialises in the start-up and scale-up journey, providing advice that's relevant to where you actually are.
We help founders get the basics right from day one — the right structure, the right accounting systems, the right approach to equity and tax — so there's nothing to unwind later when it gets expensive to fix.
From incorporation through to your first institutional round and beyond, VCA grows alongside you — bringing relevant expertise at each stage rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
What's included
01
Company Incorporation
Set up with the right structure from the start — including entity type, shareholder agreements, and initial tax elections that will matter later.
02
Shareholder Agreements
Robust founder agreements that protect all parties and give you a framework for resolving the difficult conversations before they become difficult situations.
03
Cap Table Structuring
Build a clean, investor-ready cap table from the outset. Avoid common dilution mistakes and structure equity in a way that makes future raises simpler.
04
Investor-Ready Financials
Financial models, management accounts, and reporting packs that meet investor expectations — and help you tell your financial story clearly and credibly.
05
Grant & Funding Identification
Identify the grants, incentives, and funding programs available to your business — including R&D tax incentives, state-based grants, and commercialisation programs.
