Accountants for app developers
Tap tap - These are the droids you're looking for
App developer’s business model needs a specialist to navigate you safely through
App development business model is different to the standard software development model
Whilst app development may seem like a subset of software development, the income model is quite unique and requires careful consideration by an accountant that understands these matters.
Whether you are adopting a subscription model, or an advertising model for your own apps, or operate as a third party developer for other peoples apps, we can help you navigate the complexities of the accounting and tax rules to ensure you stay clear of any trouble.
If you are looking to build an investment case to attract external seed and venture investors, we can help with that having recently helped a client secure £1m in seed investment for the development of their app.
Swipe right for The Accounting Studio
Whether you are aiming for the next major app, or have a niche offering, let The Accounting Studio help save you time and money to allow you to focus on your development.
Be sure to check in with us about how your income is affected by VAT – particularly the rules around VAT on Digital Downloads which can be complicated, and may leave you exposed to a large VAT bill if not handled correctly.
We’d love to help. Having a background in both computer science, and being a firm of qualified Chartered Accountants gives us a unique insight into how the accounts of app developers work. Let us share our expertise with you

They're exactly what you want from accountants.
