Our team has unrivalled expertise in dealing with biotech clients of many kinds.
Our very first business start-up, client trading as Scientific Generics, left to become a consultant. He is still a client today, having been involved in setting up several successful companies.
Our clients have included management and scientific advisers in biotech, an Australian Public Limited Company manufacturing heart pumps, VC funded drug discovery companies, senior executives for biotech and pharmaceutical companies and university academics. Many have been linked directly or indirectly to Cambridge Universitys which has a very open attitude to its academics undertaking outside commercial work.
Central to our strategy is that we help you keep your costs for routine accountancy work to a minimum with our specialist accounting software. Launched in 2003 it was a world leader in web based accounting.
current issues
The new 50% tax rate is making many of our higher earning clients look more carefully at tax planning. However the techniques they may use are also available to help others lower down the income scale.
There is still a difficult funding environment affecting Biotech.
specialist team
We support our niche biotech expertise by grouping our clients to one or two account managers within our team. We then encourage those managers to further develop their understanding of the sector to be better able to identify proactively issues to be addressed with the clients.
international clients
Many biotech businesses operate internationally. Our team of international tax specialists provide solutions to their problems.
Your account manager can quickly talk to a tax specialist whenever they need advice on a more complex problem.
We have dealt with executives moving to the USA.
inside knowledge
We have built up significant expertise beyond tax and accounting by working with biotech clients over many years.
For some clients we have also been able to make valuable introductions to others working in a similar field allowing the possibility of collaborations.
