Accounting Services
(including remote accounting departments)
No single outsourced serviced helps the average small consultancy / professional services firm like a reliable outsourced accounting services operation.
We will take charge of your invoicing, accounts receivable, accounts payable and cashflow budgeting and management so that you can access your information on the cloud at will and get notified when key parameters that you have established have been met.
Reconciling multi-currency banks accounts and producing weekly, monthly and annual management accounts are all part of the service.
Taxation Advice and Planning
From the inception stage right through to the payment of the final corporation tax bills for the previous year, your consultancy or professional services firm needs to make sure that everything it does is designed to be as tax efficient as possible.
From advice to how to avoid double taxing and maximise allowable expenditure to advice on establishment of subsidiaries internationally, we have a network of professionals that will ensure you comply with all your international taxation obligations without ever having to worry that you are overpaying because of poor advice.
Financial planning
Before accepting a major new international contract or embarking on a major international expansion, you need to make sure that you will have access to the finance to support your project and that the cost of that finance is the lowest possible.
Our experts will accurately cost your new endeavor and stress test their models based on your projections to ensure you get the most accurate picture possible of how much finance will need to be injected in your project.
Credit Rating
Checking the credit rating of your major new international client is not sufficient, we verify the reliability of Board Members and key personnel by taking independent commercial references from other clients and customers.
Nothing indicates a potential future problem with punctual payments like a past history of tardiness in paying providers.
Frequently, not a trace of such behavior will appear on the radar of the international credit rating agencies. We guarantee you will have the best inside information on who you are about to trust.
Compliance issues and Health and Safety
It is next to impossible for any independent consultancy to have detailed knowledge of the regulatory environment in many of the non-developed markets in todays globalized world.
Our network of associates, thought leaders and consultants can make sure that you learn from other peoples errors and not your own. In Latin America, our consultants regularly tell us that a man forewarned is worth double one who is not. You will be duly forewarned.
The global expansion of requirements such as Foreign Corrupt Practices, AML and Exposed individual obligations mean that our ability to verify your potential partners from multiple sources will ensure your continued ability to do business in any given target country.
Business Intelligence re: market entry, key competitors and potential strategic partners
Maximising the reach of our extensive network of global partners, we will find out not just the official data on your industry sector and key competitors in a given country but also concerns or hopes for the sector and advice from professionals who have worked both with, for and against your future partners and adversaries.
Vetting of such partners and competitors is a service particularly demanded in developing and frontier economies.
Executive search
Executive search for key “first feet” appointments in a new country. Our exclusive partnership with one of the world´s most important Executive Search firm guarantees you unique access to professionals who are not active in the job market and who will not apply for your position regardless of the means of advertising used.
But by leveraging our considerable skill and experience in this area, we can identify and engage with suitable professionals who not even local agencies will find, set up interviews, by telephone or face to face, with executives with important successes behind them and with the ability to add considerable firepower to your efforts in a new country.
Furthermore, we will be able to advise you with accurate and up to date information on remuneration levels and what remuneration packages should consist of.
Where legally possible, we will check for national central bank black lists and bankruptcy, fraud and insolvency judgements in ever country where a potential client has been commercially active.
