We have a strong United States (US) theme and are part owned by a major independent US firm of public accountants. We typically support fasting growing SME Tech, Bio Tech and Life Science companies, who are venture capital backed, with a variety of tax and audit services, with a particular focus on those looking to expand internationally, particularly moving to or from the US. In our UK firm, our services are carefully positioned to consider the needs of the passionate individuals who run the businesses we serve, as well as the businesses themselves. Our team members have the opportunity to be involved at the start of a fast growing and exciting business here in the UK, supported by an established and highly regarded accountancy firm in the US.
