Our clients and service lines

We are a team of entrepreneurs ourselves with an innovative mindset, therefore we understand the difficulties of overseeing the various day-to-day operational tasks as well as keeping up with the latest market trends, responding to changes in customer demands and meeting all the business obligations as they fall due. Some of our clientele are organisations that have just been established or have been in operation for a short period but are experiencing significant growth. These clients are, often, struggling to get the support they need to manage the growing needs of their businesses and lay the foundations for successful future operations. Occasionally, they try to recruit a resource with the appropriate skillset and qualifications in their finance team, the process of which takes a substantial amount of time.

This poses challenges as they may not necessarily have the time to handle the hiring process, the candidates may proceed with another job offer late in the process or simply they may hire a person that is not the right fit for their organisations due to the time pressure of filling the role quickly. It may, therefore, prove difficult to expand the finance team in line with the level of growth that the business is experiencing. Our clients consist of finance teams with a sole member or a few individuals who need extra accounting support. We help them mitigate the common pitfalls by offering access to additional experience and a broader range of skills, excellent and timely communication, and professionalism. We are our client’s right-hand; hence our clients do not need to worry about any recruitment or resourcing issues.

We offer readily available services and by working with us, our clients can get their time back to focus on more complex business-critical projects. We aim to give our clients back the flexibility to adapt to the rapidly changing environment and to concentrate on building their businesses whilst we set them up for success by designing, implementing, or undertaking financial reporting processes that result in the timely production of accounting data for the purposes of compliance and business decision-making.

We have experience working with businesses in the shipping, oil and gas, manufacturing, and the telecommunications industries. Similarly, we have worked with boutique and established organisations such as family offices and law firms.

The companies in these industries, often, follow traditional business practices that may no longer result in the most efficient and effective running of their finance function. The businesses may have overly complex group structures but with the finance teams overloaded, there is simply no time to identify improvements, eliminate non-value adding activities or carry out a simplification exercise.

Additionally, due to the ongoing heavy workload of the finance teams, they may not have the resources to keep their accounts payable function up to date; to properly manage their accounts receivables; to effectively communicate with other departments or just to be able to present real time financial information. These finance teams may focus on the backlog of accounting activities, and they may not find the time to recruit extra support. In addition, some of these businesses may be impacted by changes in regulations or accounting standards, to which they may not have the in-house resources or sufficient know-how to respond.

We offer accounting services to look at your operations and modernize the way that your finance team operates. We can assist you by looking at your underlying control environment, making recommendations for improvements, helping you implement these recommendations and taking a step further by helping you monitor the efficiency of the new processes post implementation. We are also here to provide financial reporting support at the time of need, whether it is in anticipation of the year-end close or throughout the annual audit process.

We can help you simplify the overly complicated schedules that may not be audit friendly, automate processes, or ensure better system integrations which would support high quality financial reporting and integrated functions. In addition, we can offer ad-hoc financial reporting advisory services to prepare technical memorandums, working papers or models to support you through your audit queries; to review or prepare your annual accounts; to help with your financial close; or to respond to changes in accounting standards. Our goal is to ease the pressure on your finance teams and your business, so that you can prevent your resources from burning out, keeping a fair workload, and ensuring the smooth running of the finance function with full oversight and improved procedures.

We have worked with listed clients across a whole array of industries from commercial to financial services. We know that established businesses are subject to constant developments which may derive from changes in laws and regulations or from structural shifts, such as business combinations, mergers of acquisitions, group re-organisations and international expansions.

These businesses have strict deadlines and resources allocated for annual reporting, quarterly earning releases or year-end audits. During a time of change, the finance teams may lack the in-house technical resources or simply do not have the capacity to respond to such complexities alongside their day-to-day professional duties.

This is where our clients have access to our technical expertise to help them with time-sensitive projects, including the change of accounting frameworks for an expanding business, the implementation of new accounting standards or addressing structural changes in their organisation. We aim to offer high quality and cost effective accounting advisory services to these businesses so that their finance teams are not overworked, all deadlines are met and support is provided at the right time without the need to source, interview and recruit temporary resources. We stand by our clients at the time of need, even in the delivery of critical and emergency projects to ensure that they are compliant with their reporting requirements.
