Accounting Built for AI and Machine Learning Companies
AI companies face accounting challenges that general accountants rarely handle. R&D credits on algorithm development, GPU compute costs, data licensing and FRS 102 capitalisation of trained models all demand advisors who know how AI businesses innovate and report to investors.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with AI startups, machine learning platforms, data science firms and research spinouts across England, delivering structured financial support for AI businesses and individual founders. Every R&D claim, grant report and tax return is handled accurately.
Helping AI Companies Maximise R&D Tax Relief
AI founders need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares R&D claims covering staff, compute and data costs, SEIS and EIS applications, grant reporting and tax planning, giving AI companies clear visibility over qualifying spend and innovation reliefs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions AI founders, machine learning directors and data science company owners ask about specialist accounting.
Can AI companies claim R&D credits?
Almost always, yes. Algorithm development, model training, data pipeline engineering and compute optimisation typically qualify. Cloud GPU costs and data licensing are now claimable for periods from April 2023 onwards.
Are cloud GPU costs deductible?
Yes. Cloud computing costs for model training on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud are allowable expenses. From April 2023, qualifying cloud and data costs can be included within R&D claims.
How is AI model development capitalised?
Under FRS 102, research costs are expensed but development costs meeting six criteria can be capitalised as intangible assets. This includes trained models and algorithms where technical feasibility is demonstrated.
What is Patent Box for AI?
Patent Box applies a reduced corporation tax rate to profits from patented AI innovations. Qualifying patents must be granted by the UK IPO or EPO alongside R&D credits.
Can AI startups access SEIS and EIS?
Yes. SEIS gives investors up to 50% income tax relief and EIS up to 30%. Advance assurance from HMRC confirms eligibility. Both schemes help AI startups raise funding effectively.
Can ABM support AI companies nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves AI and machine learning companies across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to startups, scaling platforms and research spinouts.
