Our Services
Two main bodies regulate Financial Services in the UK. Applying to the correct one and having the appropriate permissions to conduct your business is essential.
The first body is the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA covers the conduct regulation of all financial services including:
- Investment advice
- Portfolio management
- Money services (remittance and electronically held)
The FCA also now regulates consumer credit services (including information on credit scoring).
The second body is the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). The focus of the PRA is the significant economic dependence on the prudential regulation of banks, building societies, credit unions, insurers and major investment firms. This is in addition to the regulation within the remit of the FCA.
We can advise you if there is regulation under which you should be governed. If needed we can help you make the appropriate applications to the FCA (and possibly the PRA), if required. Once registered we can help regularly review and maintain your position.
A shareholder agreement helps to manage any issues between the shareholders. If you have more than one shareholder, you should have a shareholders agreement.
It is a private agreement between the shareholders of a company - and often the company itself. A shareholders' agreement is separate from the company articles and associate. Its contents are down to the shareholders to decide.
We can consider tax as well as the legal aspects. This means that we can ensure the agreement creates a sensible framework and minimises poor tax outcomes.
Our services include:
- RegData reporting
- Capital Adequacy reviews and monitoring
- Compliance reviews
- Documentation and systems design
- Statutory audit
- AML/Anti-bribery & corruption advice
- Permission variations/application
- Employment agreements
- Property matters
Corporate governance and regulatory compliance are important but time-consuming tasks for businesses. We can provide advice and help with the full range of company secretarial and governance services.
We are able to help with ongoing assistance or ad hoc project support.
Our services include:
- Company formations and incorporations
- Keeping and maintaining all required statutory registers
- Event driven filings such as changes in directorship or accounting reference dates
- Share capital transactions and restructuring

An audit is an independent assessment of a set of accounts. This is required by law each year if your business meets certain criteria.
As well as a year end position an audit will report whether:
- Annual accounts show a true and fair view of the firm’s financial activity
- Accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting standards
- The business is considered a going concern
We will ensure your financial statements are compliant with all the appropriate regulations. The typical types of audit services we provide are as follows:
- Statutory audit
- FCA regulated audits
- SRA audits
- Financial Reporting Standards Advice
- Other assurance services
In the UK, all private limited companies and LLPs are legally required to prepare annual statutory accounts. These must be filed at Companies House and are available to the public.
Getting your filing right can be complicated and time consuming. Getting it wrong might mean that you face financial penalties for non compliance. We can produce compliant accounts that are appropriate to your business circumstances for you.
The most common sets of accounts are:
- Statutory accounts
- Consolidated accounts
- Small company accounts
- Dormant accounts
Our team of bookkeepers and management accountants can handle all your day-to-day accounting needs. Outsourcing to our experienced people will save you hassle, time and money.
