Federal energy tax credits can be game-changers for your company if you know how to access them. Whether you’re pursuing the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Production Tax Credit (PTC), or Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (45X), the compliance and reporting requirements are complex. Our energy tax advisors help you maximize every available dollar, to ensure you’re capturing all eligible credits so you can reinvest savings into scaling your clean energy technology. 

Department of Energy grants and other federal funding can accelerate your commercialization, but they come with strict compliance requirements. We help you navigate DOE grant compliance through rigorous grant audits that meet Uniform Guidance standards. From expense tracking and invoicing to financial reporting and closeout audits, we ensure you secure and maintain funding without the compliance headaches. 

Raising your next round? ClimateTech continues attracting venture capital for breakthrough technologies in critical minerals, energy storage, carbon capture, and industrial decarbonization. Investors expect clean financials. We help you prepare with investor-ready audited financial statements, robust financial controls, and clear reporting on complex instruments such as SAFE notes, convertible debt, and equity warrants. We can also help you maximize your exit value with QSBS qualification support that could help you save millions in taxes when you sell. 

Your innovation may qualify for substantial federal and state R&D tax credits – money that can fund additional R&D or extend your runway. Our R&D credit specialists help you document qualified research activities, calculate maximum available credits, and defend your R&D studies during tax examinations. We work with CleanTech companies pioneering everything from carbon sequestration methods to sustainable manufacturing processes, helping you capture these valuable tax incentives. 

Scaling from pilot to commercial deployment? Your financial systems and accounting infrastructure need to grow with you. The spreadsheets and part-time bookkeeper that worked at pre-seed won’t support Series A due diligence or multi-site operations. We help cleantech founders build scalable financial infrastructure from accounting systems implementation (QuickBooks to NetSuite) and establishing financial controls to providing fractional CFO services for fundraising and financial planning. Our Outsourced Accounting Systems and Services Team can support or act as your finance department, ensuring clean books, and investor-ready financials at every stage of growth.
