We provide a full range of accountancy services, always tailored to the needs of the individual client, and always delivered with our personal and responsive approach. Our clients can be anyone from start-ups with no internal finance function at all, to multinational businesses that just want to know that their annual audit will be carried out efficiently by a consistent team with the right industry knowledge.
Our clients typically have two key objectives for their statutory audit:
We meet these requirements by ensuring a high level of partner involvement in all our audit assignments, and by using a strong and experienced team to carry out the work. Keeping a consistent team from one year to the next means greater understanding for us, and greater efficiency for our clients. Obtaining tax data at the time of the audit minimises the number of data requests our clients have to deal with and keeps the process running smoothly. We put a great deal of emphasis on delivering a rigorous but efficient audit, and for many of our clients, the annual audit is central to our relationship. As well as statutory audits, we provide assurance services, including profit verifications for FCA-regulatory purposes, ISAE3402 internal controls reports and client money audits under FCA or SRA rules.
We provide practical advice on company, LLP and personal tax matters for clients, both within and outside the financial services sector. As well as advising on initial structuring and registrations, acquisitions, disposals, transformations and HMRC enquiries, we provide regular monthly or annual compliance assistance over the full range of taxes.
Our experience with regulated clients has given us particular expertise in areas such as the reporting fund regime, DIMF, VAT for asset managers, as well as in the structuring and compliance of UK venture capital funds.
Outside of financial services, we provide advice on compliance with the SEIS and EIS regimes, assistance with claims for research and development tax credits, and guidance on employee share schemes.
Outsourcing of accounting services is undertaken to some degree by a very large number of firms in the FCA-regulated sector. The approach is popular with start-ups who recognise the value of having on-demand access to a highly experienced team without the costs of full-time employees. For larger firms, there are also benefits in outsourcing non-core tasks to a firm that specialises in exactly those areas.
Our outsourcing team works as an extension of your own finance function; we will assign named individuals to your account, who will get to know you and your business. Once in place, that team will only change when absolutely necessary. All of our team are London-based accounting professionals, and all receive training in a wide range of tax, accounting and regulatory matters relevant to our regulated clients.
We can handle all aspects of monthly, quarterly and year-end accounting and tax compliance, including:
As a team, we have been working with regulated businesses for over 20 years. Regulations are continuously evolving but the importance of staying on top of them remains a constant, and that is where we can provide real value to our clients.
Our services in this area include:
