Luna hosts in-house expertise and industry connections to support founders at every stage, from setup to investment and successful exits.

In September 2019, Luna Startup Studio enlisted TGS Partners to assist in delivering these services.
The Project
Luna Startup Studio’s accounting services comprise of bookkeeping, tax, payroll, and virtual CFO services, including cashflow forecasting, dashboard reporting, and company valuations. Luna Startup Studio enlisted Stannards to provide accounting and tax agent services for their clients, as part of a shared delivery model.
Through this partnership, Stannards supplies resources and expert knowledge to build upon Luna’s in-house capabilities. Stannards provides sound accounting and tax advice to Luna clients, while tailoring and delivering these services in a way that Luna’s startup clients understand. Stannards combines their knowledge in accounting, business advisory, and wealth creation in a way that bolsters Luna’s internal capability, and works well for the firm as an extension of the internal team.
Luna Startup Studio considers Stannards to be very agile for a ’traditional’ professional services provider, while working hard to successfully deliver very practical solutions for this unique client base.
