About Us
Specialist accountants, tax & business advisors to the sports sector.
Launched in 2020 from one of the leading independent firms in the region, we are able to benefit from the vast technical expertise available within that team & long standing exceptional client service, complementing that with a sports-specific advisory team headed up by an elite athlete.
This enables us to provide proactive, tailored service plans that fit the needs of sports professionals & related businesses with a focus on their unique requirements & priorities.
With a particularly close working relationship with our large sports portfolio, the value added across the range of businesses includes far more than the standard compliance services & we pride ourselves on being seen to be part of the ‘team’ rather than an outsourced service provider.
