Accountant for IT support, MSP and cyber security firms

Direct answer: FinPilot helps IT support companies, managed service providers and cyber security firms report recurring contract revenue properly, separate service margin from hardware resale, plan engineer hiring with a rolling cash forecast, and keep VAT and payroll right. Calls and texts with an ICAEW Chartered Accountant are included in one fixed monthly fee.

Recurring revenue, reported properly

Your business is worth more when the recurring part is clear. FinPilot separates contracted monthly income from project work and hardware resale, tracks margin on each, and handles annual contracts and prepaid support correctly, which is exactly what a buyer or lender will look for later.

What's included

Common questions

How should MSP contract revenue be accounted for?

Recurring support and managed-service fees are recognised over the period the service is delivered. Annual contracts paid upfront are spread across the term, with the unearned part held as deferred income, and one-off project and hardware sales are reported separately so the recurring base is clear.

Can I afford to hire another engineer?

A rolling cash forecast answers that directly: it shows the cost of the hire week by week against contracted income, renewals and tax payments, so you can see whether the business carries it now or after the next few contracts land.

Do you understand the value of my recurring revenue?

Yes. Buyers of IT and MSP businesses pay for predictable, contracted income and healthy margins. Clean monthly reporting of recurring revenue, churn and margin builds that value year by year, long before any sale.

How quickly do you reply to calls and texts?

Calls and texts about your business and your numbers are included in your fixed monthly fee, with a reply within one working day, Monday to Friday. New projects, such as a fundraise, share scheme or catch-up bookkeeping, are quoted as a fixed fee before any work starts, so there's never an invoice you haven't agreed in advance.

How hard is it to switch accountant?

Not hard. Once you've signed up, we contact your current accountant for professional clearance and handover, set up your Xero access and agree a start date. The best time to switch is a few months before your year-end, so your next accounts are prepared properly from the start.
