We ensure share classes are mapped correctly and convertibles are accounted for. Since the UK government's Mansion House reforms aim to unlock billions in pension fund investment, having a clean, venture-ready structure is now more critical than ever for attracting high-tier institutional capital." } } ] } ] --- [![Hypergility](/assets/hypergility-logo-BKOgRT51.png)for bold startups ](/) Services [Startup Grower](https://startupgrower.hypergility.io/)[Website Build](/build-your-website)[Public Sector Bids](/offerings/win-public-sector-bids)[Management Systems & Assurance](/services/management-systems) Who it's for [Are you a bold founder?](/are-you-a-bold-founder)[Innovation Hubs](/partners/innovation-hubs)[Universities](/partners/universities)[Researchers](/personas/researchers) [Why us](/why-us)[News](/news)[Try Startup Grower](https://startupgrower.hypergility.io/)[Contact](/contact) ![](https://aaiqevwzojrlzhxdxxzq.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/media-processed/heroes/hero-accountants.jpg) Hypergility partner network # Accountants We work with finance partners on R&D claims, SEIS/EIS readiness and cap table hygiene so founders stay funding-fit.
