IT is about speed, scalability, and international contracts.
But there are things you can’t “deploy later.” Especially in accounting.
Here are the signals that should alert a founder:
1️⃣ “We’ll figure it out later” regarding contracts with sole proprietors (FOPs)
In IT, the cooperation structure must be properly designed — especially when working with Diia City residents.
The wrong model = risk of reclassification and additional tax assessments.
2️⃣ Lack of understanding of transfer pricing
If a company works with foreign counterparties, the arm’s length principle is not optional — it’s mandatory.
If your accountant isn’t talking to you about documentation, that’s a red flag.
3️⃣ No management reporting
Tax reporting ≠ financial management.
If you don’t see project margins, cost structure, or cash flow forecasts — you’re running the business intuitively.
4️⃣ “We’ve always done it this way”
The IT sector changes fast. Tax legislation changes even faster.
An IT accountant should think like a partner, not just an operator.
5️⃣ No proactive discussion of the tax model
Transitions between models (FOP / gig contracts / foreign structure) must be planned BEFORE scaling — not after a tax audit.
💡 A strong IT accountant is not just about reports.
It’s about business protection, predictability, and financial strategy.
Because in IT you can scale fast.
But you can face problems even faster if your financial foundation is weak.
