iHorizon's detailed experience with both US and UK tax issues takes makes them perfectly suited to a tech startup like ours.
iHorizon have been a great support for 3beards and their expertise and resourcefulness has allowed just to get on with our business and not worry about the books too much!
The iHorizon team has been great to work with – responsive, professional and smart. I can’t recall a single issue that we presented to this team that wasn’t resolved quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them!
iHorizon have been brilliant, they take care of all hassle around accounting so we can just focus on building a great product. One of my favourite parts of their service is how quickly they respond to any questions, even over the weekend!
Ever since meeting the team and spying their ping pong table, we knew iHorizon were the partners for us. From advising on EMI schemes and R&D tax credits to bookkeeping, they allow us to focus on building transformational music technology, confident that we can access ordered accounts and advice in an instant.
Working with the outstanding iHorizon team is like having a full time in-house accountant in our office. Absolutely superb!
It's been great to work with ihorizon - ihorizon provide us with accounting support and they “get” start ups. It's great that they have a tech focussed service offering and have helped in fundraising, options documentation, tax credits, forecasting and modelling. It’s important for us that they are also a nice bunch of people to deal with.
ihorizon have been with us from the early days and have provided a consistently high standard of service - personal, responsive, and thorough. We've been most impressed with the flexibility they have shown as our business and accounting needs have changed.
Pratik and the ihorizon team have been absolutely fantastic! Within less than a month, it already felt like we had fully transitioned from a high performance in-house set up with 2 full time staff, to one whereby, as a full managed service, we were able to maintain and in some cases improve upon our processes, at a fraction of the cost. They are very much part of the extended team and go out of their way to help. I couldn't recommend them enough.
ihorizon make accounting life easy. They understand the needs of the start-up business, take the time to understand the needs of your business and grow with you. It has been a real pleasure dealing with them and they have quickly become an essential part of the business, nicely freeing up my time as the demands on it have increased alongside our growth.
It’s great working with ihorizon; they really understand tech startups and the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur. Their flexible and responsive approach as well as their use of the latest online tools such as Xero make managing our finances and accounts really easy!
Horizon have consistently delivered accurate and timely accounting help, alongside great start-up financing advice. They also listen to Mixcloud, which automatically makes them cooler than any other accountants out there.
We are building a company at the bleeding edge of technology for the fashion industry, which is fast-paced and very a competitive market. ihorizon have been great at understanding this, their knowledge of tech and the flexibility of their service has been outstanding in helping us drive forward.
ihorizon have been with us since the early days of GoSquared. We're incredibly focused around building an amazing analytics platform, and growing a talented team around our vision, so to have ihorizon handling everything on the accountancy side (and I mean everything), it's freed up huge amounts of time and helped us do what we do best. I can't think of a better group of people to be handling a fast growing technology company's accounting.
ihorizon are the most responsive accountancy firm I've ever worked with. I get lighting fast replies via email and can contact them via Skype if needed. Thoroughly recommended by me.
The great service we have gotten from ihorizon has been like having an external CFO. In addition to basic accounting we have had key help regarding banks, payments gateways, software to use and legal setups etc
Money and cashflow is central to the business we run, but we’re only supposed to be experts in technology. ihorizon has helped us exploit the full flexibility that our financial position really allows, without needing a full-time financial director. Under a yearly accounting schedule before we started with ihorizon, money felt like a constraint rather than an opportunity.
As a complex start-up dealing with tens of thousands of transactions in a week, millions of pounds worth of clients’ money and working across multiple jurisdictions, it’s been important for us to get the accounting right. ihorizon have taken away a lot of the pain involved and have allowed us to get on with running the business.

It’s an experience that can’t be reproduced, and one that is key to our team.
