B&H serves Mountain View tech startups — from Google spinoffs near the Googleplex to NASA Ames contractors and SaaS founders. QuickBooks setup, burn rate tracking, payroll, and R&D tax credit analysis.
Mountain View has one of the highest concentrations of tech startups in the world — Google spinoffs, aerospace contractors near NASA Ames, and deep-tech SaaS companies. We understand the accounting these businesses need from day one.
Mountain View startups doing software, hardware, AI, or biotech development often qualify for the federal R&D tax credit under IRC Section 41. We identify qualifying expenses and prepare the documentation — many founders leave tens of thousands on the table.
We set up QuickBooks with a chart of accounts structured for investor reporting — revenue recognition, deferred revenue, cost of revenue, and R&D expense separation built in from day one.
Investors ask about runway. We produce monthly reports that show current burn rate, cash balance, and projected runway — so you always know your numbers and never get caught off guard.
Entity structure, equity compensation, 83(b) elections, QSBS qualification — the tax decisions you make before revenue are the most important. We advise Mountain View founders before the costly mistakes happen.
