    For larger companies whose UK operations have their own accounting functions, we can provide a cost effective audit, either to meet statutory requirements or as directed by the parent company.

    Other accounting services

    We are experienced in international accounting standards and can advise on issues arising between the UK and your home country. We can help you put in place all the appropriate accounting systems, procedures, controls and reporting requirements. We also advise on accounting software.

    Tax services

    Our specialist tax advisers are used by many other accountancy firms for tax consultancy. They provide advice ranging from compliance issues, such as corporate, personal and VAT returns, to sophisticated tax planning around company structures, acquisitions and disposals.

    We are also experts in dealing with specific overseas tax issues. These include structuring your UK operations in a tax efficient vehicle, transfer pricing, double tax treaties, interaction of home and UK taxes, VAT issues, import duty, employee tax and residency.

    Employment issues

    Employment law is a minefield for all companies and particularly if you are new to the UK. We can guide you on issues such as contracts of employment, recruitment, remuneration and employment policies and procedures.

    We can arrange introductions to banks and other funding sources and assist with negotiations. We also advise on issues including foreign currency and treasury management.
