home - specialisms - consultants
Our team has unrivalled expertise in dealing with consultants of many kinds. Typically they are clients with relatively high earnings who understand that their accounting may be very simple, but if they go to a small one-man-band firm of accountants, who deals with simple accounts then they will not get the tax advice that they need.
We have built a team with unrivalled expertise in dealing with consultants e.g. management consultants, biotech and scientific advisors etc. 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 that they might use are also available to help others lower down the income scale.
HMRC still relies on IR35 to attack consultants who have a single main client.
specialist team
We support our niche expertise by grouping our consultancy 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 consultants operate internationally. Our team of international tax specialists provides solutions to their problems.
Your account manager can quickly talk to a tax specialist whenever they need advice on a more complex problem.
inside knowledge
We have built up significant expertise beyond tax and accounting by working with consultancy 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.
