Life Sciences Startups
As you advance from pre-clinical activities to clinical trials — and ultimately achieve commercial viability — you will surely face significant hurdles while bringing your product(s) to market.
Whether your startup is embarking on a novel biotech solution or introducing a groundbreaking medical device, you need to navigate an evolving landscape of clinical development, investor expectations, and regulatory requirements. Amidst adhering to safety and efficacy standards, you’ll also need to raise capital to support the regulatory pathway. Whether you’re receiving funding through government grants or getting access to capital through external financing, EisnerAmper can help.
We support your journey from product or drug development to market launch. As your organization progresses through different stages, your requirements and expectations might shift. Our team of industry professionals can help you achieve key milestones as you grow, offering the experience and expertise needed to support you each step of the way. We can assist with capital raising, strategic direction, back-office solutions, cash runway management, audit/IPO preparation, and more. We have extensive experience helping companies from formation through a strategic acquisition or IPO — providing practical advice and insight along the way — as well as helping clients prepare financial statements in accordance with SEC reporting requirements.
Stage-Specific Solutions for Startups
Discover tax planning opportunities—including R&D tax credits.
Tax planning strategies, including R&D tax credits, IRC Sec. 1202 qualified small business stock (“QSBS" exclusions, and state credit and incentive programs, can help uncover opportunities for both you and your startup. Our stage-specific experts can guide you through recent tax law changes and help you comply with regulatory requirements. We’re dedicated to helping you apply strategies that will help amplify your success and support the continued growth of your business.
We can also provide guidance as you assemble your executive team and advisors with compensation plan advice and the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), 83(b) filings, 409(a) valuations, and capital table management for tax strategy.
Effectively manage cash flow—and your priorities.
Outsourcing your accounting and back-office functions can improve cash management, reduce overhead spending, and free-up time so you can focus on your core competencies and business growth. We provide financial and operational professionals who can manage accounting, fractional CFO, hosted IT, cap-table management and administration of option plans, grant administration, and HR solutions—operating as an extension of your team to seamlessly scale based on your current needs.
Verify responsible stewardship of grant funding by a nationally recognized auditor.
Organizations receiving grant funding have a fiduciary responsibility to determine (document and perhaps have an attestation report issued) that the funds have been used appropriately. EisnerAmper is among the largest accounting and business advisory firms in the world, providing high-quality grant audit services. We help startups provide transparency to their funders, avoid penalties and mitigate other risks, and nurture a good working relationship with increased credibility so that both parties benefit.
