TAX

We connect the technical and commercial dots to help you get on top of compliance and mitigate future risk, while maximising relief and funding opportunities.

TALKING TAX

Our interconnected Tax team looks at your business and any challenges through multiple lenses, including tax advisory, shareholder tax, wealth management, outsourcing and corporate finance.

Getting on top of Tax has a direct impact, not only on a business’s existence and buoyancy, but also its ability to compete and grow.

There’s a certain breadth of expertise that we as advisers need to support businesses as well as prepare them for the future. We also need to be proactive in addressing Tax affairs to make sure our clients don’t miss out on big planning opportunities.

We’re a fast-growing, entrepreneurial business, and that’s our natural client sweet spot. They love us because we’re not too big to provide the individual attention and close relationship that they need, and we’re not too small to take on large-scale Tax projects. They choose us because our approach to Tax services is holistic, looking at both business and individual shareholder needs across compliance and advice.

Managing Tax risk, why it should be a priority

It may not be the glitziest side of a well-oiled business, but it’s hugely important. Failing to integrate tax considerations into all your key strategic decisions can put the brakes on your plans, leave holes in your strategy, and open up your business to risk.

TUNE UP YOUR TAX STRATEGY

By shifting tax from an afterthought to a driving force and optimising your tax position, you’ll better prepare your business for any economic or policy changes on the horizon, as well as significant events like mergers, acquisitions or sale.

Easier said than done? Maybe. We’ve spoken to hundreds of FDs and shareholders across the UK mid-market. We appreciate you often lack the time, resource, or a tight-knit tailored service from your tax adviser to make it happen. So, we’ve built a holistic tax offering to set that straight.

With a full suite of tax and advisory services, we can become your whole in-house finance team, an integral part, or an extension of it, looking at your business and shareholder aspirations through multiple lenses.

We’ll help you structure your business optimally, make sure tax always has a seat at the table, and help you highlight, manage and mitigate tax risk on all fronts.

While tax strategy will be unique to individual businesses, we’ve noticed 5 key red flags for you to look out for.

Reviews

BSAP, JUNE 25

“Great communication.”

LAURA, JUNE 25

“Although the service we have received has been extremely good, there has been long delays in partner reviews.”

GARETH, JUNE 25

“Great relationship with Audit Partner and Audit Manager which means resolutions are reached quickly on difficult and complex issues. The accounts are put together in an efficient and well presented manner. The audit team generally adopt a logical and pragmatic approach. Only real negatives were that Kennedy audit was a more a drawn out process than perhaps it needed to be. Reconciling the consolidated accounts back to the Cooper Parry calcs was complex and there were some small discrepancies. As discussed with the Audit Partner I do have some concerns on the level of fees.”

AATAP, JUNE 25

“Great conference, helpful team and super service. Thank you.”

CHERILYN, JUNE 25

“The account were turned around quickly, and we were kept up to date with the progress of the audit”

LUCIE, MAY 25

“Easy communication, always get back to me promptly, provide advice when needed, like the Inflo system very user friendly.”

HAYLEY, MAY 25

“The recent external audit and financial statement preparation were executed with professionalism and thoroughness. The auditor team demonstrated strong technical expertise and diligence, ensuring the process was both comprehensive and transparent. Their approach to testing, particularly in collaboration with the ASCL PD team during the first week, was highly effective and contributed to a smooth progression of the audit work, especially given its proximity to the annual conference. One area of improvement would be the timeline planning. The current schedule presents significant pressure in ensuring all necessary work is completed within tight deadlines. We have already discussed the potential benefits of moving some of the audit activities forward and setting clear dates in advance. Proactively scheduling key milestones would allow for better resource allocation and smoother execution. Another area of improvement would be the team working with their internal colleagues to check the partial VAT and advise on the changes to make for the next financial year. Additionally, the format and content of the audit findings report received positive feedback from elected officers. Its clarity and structure enabled effective review and discussion, reinforcing its value in financial oversight. Overall, the service provided was impressive, and the auditors’ commitment to delivering a high-quality review is appreciated. With a few refinements to planning and scheduling, the process could become even more efficient in future audits.”

PAULINE, MAY 25

“Great team, fit well into our office, professional approach whilst both friendly and very supportive. Pleasure to work with.”

MARION, MAY 25

“Communication was excellent and timely and the upload and action processes very smart and effective. Audit staff were friendly and helpful throughout the process.”

EDWARD, MAY 25

“Just very easy to deal with, all very relaxing to be honest!”
