Tech Startup Bookkeeping Austin TX

R&D Tax Credit Tracking and Expense Management

Software development costs, research expenditures, and contractor payments for product development need to be categorized correctly for both financial reporting and potential R&D tax credits under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code. The R&D tax credit can provide meaningful cash savings for Austin tech startups that are investing in product development, but claiming the credit requires detailed documentation of qualifying activities and associated expenses.

Stock Options, Equity Compensation, and 409A Compliance

Austin tech startups routinely use stock options, restricted stock, and other equity instruments to attract and retain talent. Each type of equity compensation carries specific bookkeeping requirements, from recording the grant and vesting of stock options to tracking the exercise price, fair market value, and any Section 83(b) elections made by early employees.
