we do more…

Many clients are reluctant to change accountant especially when that accountant has done nothing wrong. But in many cases their accountant should have done more…

What makes us different is that our proven commercial experience and specialist tax skills mean we can do more than file your accounts on time. Our aim is to be an extension of your management team, on hand to assist with strategic decisions as they arise, from indentifying restructuring and refinancing opportunities to the development of expansion plans, while at all times working to minimize the amount of tax you pay. That requires expertise and specialist knowledge and a focus on you and your business. It’s such attention to detail that enables us to meet your ongoing needs and aspirations.

Our greatest asset is our people.  Many professional accountants are aware of tax legislation but few understand the full complexities of the system.  A Chartered Tax Adviser, or CTA, is a tax specialist who has passed the entry examination of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, widely regarded as one of the most demanding of the professional examinations.  Intimate knowledge of the tax legislation means a CTA can offer specialist tailored advice on your every requirement – from identifying the correct structure to start a business though to its ultimate sale.  Anyone can call themselves an accountant but to be a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (an ACA or FCA) each member must pass a comprehensive entry exam in topics including financial and management accounting, audit, company law, tax, IT and business development.  Once qualified an ACA must adhere to continuing their professional training which is monitored annually by the Institute.
