Professional service firms we work with

We work with a number of fintech companies to assist them with corporate finance and tax matters. We have vast experience in this field, especially in Research and Development Tax Credits and are well positioned to help businesses working in fintech to expand as well as navigate through more difficult periods.

Law

Many law firms have unconventional business structures, meaning they often require specialist advice.

IR35 – Important off-payroll working rule changes that will significantly impact the sector, especially recruitment 

From April 2020, any medium or large private company that uses an intermediary to provide their business with contractors or freelancers, will be required to assess and potentially pay their tax and national insurance.

While this will affect all sectors, it particularly affects the recruitment sector. Read more in our article here, or alternatively, contact us directly for information on how this will impact your business and how we can assist and ensure you are prepared for it.
