Introduction

There are probably few surprises in the services we offer.  How we deliver those services and the depth of our experience and expertise may well be a refreshing change.

Taxation

We’ve won a coveted national award for our tax services and provide technical tax advice to other accountancy practices nationwide.  Our team can help with all aspects of business and personal tax compliance and planning.

Audit & assurance

Though rarely top of anyone’s list of favourite things, our approach is to deliver audit and assurance services that are really valuable and worthwhile beyond the minimum statutory requirements.  Alongside regular company and LLP audits, we’ve also got the expertise to do specialist audits such as those for insurance brokers, Solicitors’ Accounts Rules, pension schemes or charities and non-profit organisations.

Corporate finance

Whether it’s your ‘once in a lifetime’ deal or your third transaction this year, our well-connected corporate finance team can support you in negotiating the best deal and getting access to the most appropriate finance available.

Accounting & payroll

We can advise on (or do for you) statutory accounts, management accounts, book-keeping, payroll processing or financial forecasting.

Trusts & probate

With one of the largest trust teams in the region, you’ll benefit from specialist expertise and wide experience in this complex area.  Not only valuable in protecting your estate from unnecessary Inheritance Tax when you die, perhaps fewer people realise the real strength of trusts in helping to manage difficult issues such as protecting your family and passing on your business to a different generation.

Business help

We have specialists on hand to help you to look a little more deeply at your business and its future and to implement practical improvement ideas.
