The chiral material BeAu was recently identified as a multiband type-I superconductor with a critical temperature of 3.2 K. As a member of the B20 crystal family (space group P213), its band structure hosts multifold fermions at high-symmetry points, unpaired Weyl points and even nodal surfaces. This renders BeAu an appealing system to investigate the interplay between superconductivity and topology. Here we present a comprehensive first-principles analysis of BeAu's electronic structure focusing on its Fermi surface's topology and the implications for superconductivity. Together with the presence of four- and six-fold fermions at high-symmetry points, we identify several additional isolated Weyl points near the Fermi level. We also determine the associated topological edge states -- the surface Fermi arcs. Computing the Chern number associated to different Fermi surface sheets, we show that BeAu harbors a ν=4 topological superconducting phase in the presence of s-wave pairing of alternating sign (s± pairing). Notably, we also identify a Fermi surface with a Chern number of +6; the highest value reported to date. Finally, our analysis reveals strong inhomogeneity in the orbital character of electronic states at the Fermi level, suggesting a link to the observed multigap superconductivity.
