Professional service firms

As a firm of accountants and tax advisers ourselves we naturally have an understanding of the issues professional services businesses face. We realise that one of the most difficult issues can be recruiting a retaining highly qualified professional individuals and partner/shareholders.

We act for a large number of professional service businesses which include solicitors, surveyors, chartered engineers, geo scientific drilling engineers and structural engineers. This has become an important niche to us a practice in recent years and we have a good deal of experience here, particularly with the Solicitors Accounts Rules.

How we can help

As a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants we specialise in reducing the amount of tax you and your business pay. We find tax savings in almost all aspects of our clients’ businesses.

We can also help tackle many of your people and professional staff issues. Using tax efficient remuneration schemes and those such as MBO / MBI we can help retain and motivate key employees whilst advising on how to pay them in the most tax efficient way.

Whatever stage your professional business is at we can help. If you're growing we can advise on how best to acquire new premises, what lease arrangements you will need and how to secure a flexible arrangement. If you are acquiring freehold property we can help with that too as this is something as a firm we carried out ourselves a few years back and are passionately in favour of this strategy.

If you are looking from the other end of the spectrum and starting to think about how to retire and release some equity from the business, we can give you advice on exit strategies best suited to your needs which maximises the capital you can realise from your business in the most tax effective way.
