    Why Accortax

    Specialists in the numbers behind clinical research.

    Most providers stop at the signature or start at the payment. We connect contracts, payments and accounting so every figure agrees from start to finish.

    One owner, end to end

    The team that negotiates your budget reconciles the payments against it.

    Accounting depth

    Chartered accountancy and corporate finance training behind every ledger we keep.

    Independent on every study

    We never represent a sponsor and a site on the same study.

    Built for smaller teams

    Specialist capability without building an in-house clinical finance department.

    Across the Americas

    US registered and working with studies in the United States and South America.

    Clear reporting

    Regular status updates and reports, so you always know where money and agreements stand.

    Have a study starting soon, or one whose books need fixing?

    Tell us where things stand. We will map out exactly which services help and what the engagement looks like.

    Home/Sponsor services

    Clinical trial contracts, budgets and site payments, managed for sponsors.

    From the first CTA draft to the final closeout reconciliation, we give small and mid-sized sponsors a specialist contracts and clinical finance function without the cost of building one.

    Ideal if your team

    • Has no dedicated clinical contracts or finance staff
    • Is activating new sites and needs agreements moving
    • Is struggling with site payment accuracy
    • Needs clean study financials for investors or audits
    The problems we solve

    Where sponsor studies lose time and money.

    Contracts, payments and accounting often sit with different people. The gaps between them are where delays, disputes and financial surprises begin.

    Startup delays

    Agreements that will not close

    Every week a site agreement sits in redlines is a week that site cannot enroll patients.

    Payment friction

    Sites paid late or incorrectly

    Payment errors damage site relationships and pull attention away from recruitment.

    Financial blind spots

    Books that do not match reality

    Estimated accruals and unreconciled payments create surprises in reporting and due diligence.

    Home/Why Accortax

    Why sponsors and sites should choose Accortax.

    Contract specialists rarely think like accountants, and accountants rarely understand clinical trial agreements. We do both, and that changes the result.

    In one sentence

    The people who negotiate your agreement are the same people who make sure every payment under it is correct.

    Six reasons

    What you gain with Accortax.

    Each of these exists to protect your timelines, your relationships and your money.

    One owner, end to end

    Contracts, payments and books under one team. Knowledge of what was negotiated is never lost in a handoff between vendors.

    Real accounting depth

    Founded on chartered accountancy and corporate finance experience, so accruals, holdbacks and reconciliations meet accounting standards.

    Proven negotiation experience

    More than 100 clinical trial contracts and budgets negotiated by our founder, across a wide range of sites and studies.

    Independence you can trust

    We never represent a sponsor and a site on the same study, so your interests are the only ones we represent.

    Right sized for your team

    Specialist capability for small and mid-sized organizations, without the cost of building an in-house department.

    USA and South America

    A US-registered company supporting studies and sites across both regions.
