BUILDING ICONIC INTERNATIONAL BRANDS
We work with a growing portfolio of entrepreneurial creatives and their companies; from copywriting, public relations, graphic design, digital and website agencies, to advertising and full-service marketing companies and larger national and international groups.
Our clients are busy building iconic brands, whilst operating in a fiercely competitive, global market. By managing their day-to-day accounting, PAYE, international tax and VAT compliance, we free up their valuable time. However, our real strength lies in working as part of our clients’ management teams to help them run their businesses more effectively and support them with their decision-making and strategic planning.
PLAYING AN IMPORTANT STRATEGIC ROLE
We understand the complex and varied issues that our advertising and marketing clients face. It’s an industry which is particularly sensitive to the strength of the UK and global economies, as well as changing consumer and industry trends. By analysing these trends alongside regular financial reporting, we can produce cash flow forecasts to help our clients plan around future sales fluctuations, as well as evaluating potential improvements to their business operations and overall cost-efficiency.
Our insights into how different industry sectors are performing is a huge benefit to our clients, enabling thorough analysis of any sales fluctuations and helping them to determine whether these are due to a known economic or industry trend, or a more unexpected shift. We also ensure that our clients’ businesses are running as tax efficiently as possible, and can provide specialist support with business structuring, staff incentive schemes, succession planning and R&D tax relief.
I look after a set of complex client businesses which need an 'everywhere approach', a high-level strategic view, where I can look at their structure and process.
