Request a proposal Client loginIndependent finance, tax and compliance for the UK and Irish entities of international groups, and for funds. We work alongside the accountant, auditor and CFO you already have, run the recurring work where you need us to, and stay on each issue until it is resolved.
Senior enough to challenge. Practical enough to execute.
Where the problems start
The person you meet on the first call is the person who does the work.
EY in Paris and Reading. Practice leadership in Paris. Finance leadership at Amundi and Clearstream, Deutsche Börse Group.
Who you will work withFor Group CFOs, Finance Directors, Group Controllers and international finance teams responsible for UK and Irish entities.
For head office: a clearer, more reliable view of what is happening locally, from someone who stays involved until it is fixed.
When groups call us. A difficult audit, a missed group deadline, a UK acquisition, a new Group CFO, or directors at head office still to verify with Companies House.
Group practice and feesFor fund founders, CFOs, COOs, boards and management teams of funds, asset managers and investment businesses.
For the board and investors: institutional finance discipline, ready for due diligence, without a full-time senior hire.
When managers call us. A first close, an investor's operational due diligence, FCA authorisation, a change of administrator, or an audit finding.
Fund practice and feesBig Four-trained judgement without Big Four layers. Your first conversation, and every review, is with the person accountable for the result.
We work with your existing providers and systems. Nothing to unwind, no handover risk, no switching cost.
We are neither your auditor nor your bookkeeper. Head office gets an accurate view, and the local entity is judged on facts rather than interpretation.

As the office's lead for audit transformation, data and AI, developed an internal analytics tool and trained the teams.

Redesigned review and internal-control procedures, and introduced data analytics into substantive testing, as head of audit.

Your structure, providers and reporting requirements, and an indicative range.
What works, what does not, who owns it, and what should change.
Defined scope, stated assumptions, a responsibility map and your fixed fee.
We run the recurring work, or work alongside your providers.
Thirty minutes to understand your structure, your providers, your reporting calendar and the issues sitting between them. You will leave with an indicative investment range.
