I have been a personal tax client of AAB for a number of years and in that time they have guided me through the tax return process and provided me with specialist advice relating to my non-resident tax position.

External Audit Services
It’s easy to see statutory audits as just a tick-box exercise. But as a leading audit firm, we see it differently. Our approach turns compliance into an opportunity-providing accurate assessments that highlight ways to strengthen systems, improve processes, and add real value.

Our external audit team’s primary role is obviously to check the truth and fairness of your accounts and ensure you are compliant with current standards. However, to us that’s just the start. We look to get under the skin of your business and provide data that can inform your best business decisions.
Working with clients across a wide range of sectors – from construction to charities, energy to education – means we’ll already be familiar with your marketplace, risks and legislation. We will gain a thorough understanding of your business, collect input from partners and senior staff, working unobtrusively with your people with minimal impact and above all, provide value for money.
EXPERIENCED GLOBAL REACH
As one of the established audit firms in UK, we also act as lead auditors for international clients. Through our affiliation with Crowe Global (via Accelerate) and TIAG (The International Accounting Group), we manage global audits with the same level of care and quality.
We work with UK entities within international groups, liaising with overseas auditors to ensure compliance with UK statutory requirements and adherence to the Group auditor’s work scope, instructions and all reporting deadlines. We’ll make sure you’re aware of any changes in regulations, locally or in other jurisdictions, that could affect your business.
It is obvious that all members work well as a team, they are passionate and really enjoy their work. The advice I have received has been holistic, sound and proactive in nature, and the technicalities are explained clearly.
Stephen Bonsor, The Dental Practice
People do business with people and AAB’s people are friendly, helpful and professional. The charities team have been tremendously supportive and has continued to give us guidance and advice that far surpasses any contractual requirement.
Thane Lawrie, SCARF
Smart, Insightful Audit Firms in UK
Our auditors are experts: experienced, diligent and painstaking, but also personable and understanding. While we’ll act independently and with integrity, we’ll always be conscious that you need to carry on running your business with minimal disturbance.
We’ll be flexible, working with you and around you. This is made easier by our knowledge of your business sector and the pressures and time constraints you face. Having carried out extensive background research before we start the audits, we can effectively hit the ground running so we take up as little of your time as possible. Clear communication throughout is a key part of our audit services strategy, during the audit itself and afterwards, when we report on the insights we’ve gained and the potential for improvements we’ve identified.
