Start up

Startups have unique characteristics and at Chaikin Cohen Rubin & Co, we were quick to recognize their dynamism, ever-changing needs and the challenges this presents from an accounting perspective.

Many accounting firms, with a more traditional approach to business, struggled to cope with the "strange bird". With our deep understanding of a business’ needs, we have created a dedicated services toolbox for startups. Comprehensive accounting solutions include basic bookkeeping, advisory on incorporation and tax structure, identification of government incentives, formation of Founders Agreement, and more.

At Chaikin Cohen Rubin & Co., understand the unique needs of a startup and are committed to supporting your business as it grows; providing first-class accounting and consulting services that will add real impact to the success of your venture. We harness the knowledge, experience and contacts for ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking. Combined with our professional tax, business and financial advice on all issues relevant to your company in both local and global markets, we aim to surpass expectations.

Tax issues need to be considered at the planning stage when developing business strategy. To be battle-ready for business, a smart tax strategy must be adopted which factors in corporate tax and dividend tax as well as company and capital structure.

After many years of working in this field, we have gained extensive experience working side-by-side with startups, building tax planning processes and dealing with complex tax issues:

• Tax planning strategy at the foundation stage

• International tax planning strategy

• Supporting global startups

• Taxation activity for e-commerce

Chaikin Cohen Rubin & Co. provides startups of all stages a comprehensive range of accounting services including raising capital investment.

Fundraising – the presentation of financial statements is vital to successfully raising investment. We provide you with first-class support as you go to pitch for funding.

Public Offering – listing a company on the TASE or any major stock markets is a significant business decision and undertaking. Our help includes outlining the details that will support the decision-making process as well the preparation of a detailed prospectus for the roadshow and listing.

Accounting – audited financial reports based on accepted accounting principles and standards. Preparation for the process starts at the earliest phases of strategic planning and accounts for essential items such as tax events, intellectual property, royalties and other sources of potential revenue.

We produce financial reports for investors and stakeholders, conducted objectively and without bias, so as to present an accurate picture to potential investors or entities considering a merger or acquisition. In our experience, a reliable, comprehensive and detailed financial report is the cornerstone for building a sustainable, successful startup.

Receiving the benefits of private or state-financed funds is an essential element in the life of almost every startup. Our team of professionals is skilled in identifying and applying for these funds, on behalf of startups at the earliest stage of development through to those that are already operational. We are very familiar with the various government agencies leading this activity and the special requirements of each, so as to support entrepreneurs in this process.

Professional guidance in the formation and signing of the Founders’ Agreement are essential. Founders should take advice with a complete awareness of the legal and accounting ramifications of each choice, taking into account possible business developments to safeguard the rights of all parties involved. This requires an entity that is structured in a way that best suits the individual requirements of the owner, inventor, legislator and other associated parties.
