Fundraising Advisory

Structuring, documentation, and compliance support for angel rounds, seed rounds, and Series A/B — from term sheet to closing and post-investment FEMA compliance.

What is Fundraising Advisory?

Fundraising is one of the most complex and consequential processes a startup goes through. The instrument you choose (equity, CCPS, SAFE, CCD), the terms you agree to (valuation, anti-dilution, liquidation preference, board rights), and the compliance you complete (FEMA, valuation, cap table) all have long-term implications for your ownership, control, and future fundraising ability.

AccentTax Consulting provides end-to-end fundraising advisory — from round structuring and term sheet review to post-investment FEMA compliance and cap table management. We have supported 50+ startup fundraising rounds and know exactly what investors expect and what founders need to protect.
