Find answers to common questions about our audit, accounting, tax and advisory services.
We support SMEs, CLGs, non-profits/charities, MCSTs and managing agents, as well as start-ups and family-owned businesses.
Not all companies require a statutory audit. Some private companies may qualify for the small company/small group exemption. We can help assess eligibility and recommend the appropriate level of engagement (audit, other assurance, or compilation).
Yes. Companies are still required to prepare financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. Many audit-exempt companies engage a firm to prepare and compile financial statements for compliance and stakeholder use.
Timelines depend on complexity and readiness of records. For many SMEs, audit completion is commonly within 4 to 6 weeks after complete information is provided. We agree a timeline upfront and provide regular progress updates.
Common items include prior-year financial statements, trial balance/GL, bank statements, major contracts, key schedules (PPE, receivables, payables), and statutory registers. We will provide a tailored PBC list at the start.
Yes. We provide bookkeeping/financial reporting support, as well as ECI and corporate tax return filings. Where suitable, we help align accounts and tax computations to reduce rework and improve consistency.
We support routine corporate secretarial compliance (e.g., annual return filing and changes in officers/share capital) as part of business support. If your needs are more complex, we can coordinate with corporate secretarial specialists.
Fees depend on scope, complexity, transaction volume and timeline. We provide an indicative range after a brief understanding of your needs, and confirm a fixed or staged fee where possible.
