We provide a full range of services to our clients, including:
FSA compliance
With the current changes taking place in the financial services industry, it is important that you are aware of new rules and regulations and how they effect your business. We keep you up to date with the new requirements and industry best-practice through regular meetings, our financial services newsletter, fortnightly e-mail alert and one-off seminars.
Audit & tax compliance
We understand the need to provide assurance on your business controls, but also to provide advice on helping you develop your business. Equally, we know the commercial importance of managing compliance issues so that there are no unforeseen surprises and minimal disruption.
Governance, risk and assurance
The management of risk and implementation of robust corporate governance is increasingly important. Regulation is becoming ever more complex and daunting, and customers and suppliers are expecting greater transparency. Combining our expertise and financial services sector knowledge we help organisations meet their governance risk and assurance objectives. We have a suite of premium assurance services, including Sarbanes Oxley implementation and SAS 70 / AAF 01/06, and also provide risk management, internal audit, corporate governance and IT assurance, including security and project management reviews.
Tax planning & advice
We consider it vital to anticipate the tax consequences of any business development strategy. By working closely with you, our commercial approach to tax planning will ensure that such consequences are fully addressed and that every sensible effort is made to minimise your tax bill.
Corporate finance
Our Corporate Finance team has built a reputation for providing a tailored service that meets our clients’ specific requirements, whilst recognising the importance of our client not losing autonomy or control of a project. In fact, last year alone, they acted on a variety of transactions with an aggregate value of over £1 billion.
Strategic support and guidance
Making strategic decisions usually involves stepping back from the everyday workings of the business, to try and obtain an objective and independent viewpoint. We use our understanding of our clients'business and our experience of working with similar financial services organisations to provide proactive input into strategy and the decision-making process.
