To provide truly effective business advice and support, you need a team with plenty of relevant experience.
Whether you’re managing multiple design projects or surveying complex developments, having the right financial, tax and compliance support is crucial to keeping your business on track.
We have experts that have specialised in advising architects and surveyors for many years and work with a large number of these practices. Our property sector team also has extensive experience in every aspect of the property market, including investment in residential or commercial land and buildings.

Advising on LLP and limited company conversions
We were one of the first accountancy firms to take on limited liability status, and started trading as a limited liability partnership (LLP) from 1 April 2004.
Since then, we’ve helped many professional services practices to convert to LLP status.
As an LLP, you combine the benefits of limited liability with the flexibility of organising your internal structure as a traditional partnership. You have the same tax rules as a partnership, you can secure bank borrowings on debtors, and you can create a more corporate structure with its own assets and subsidiary companies.
There’s a lot to consider when setting up an LLP – such as engagement terms, profit sharing and exit strategies. We can help you through the process, making it as smooth as possible for everyone involved, including partners, employees, bankers, clients, landlords and suppliers.
Alternatively, conversion to a limited company might be more appropriate for your practice. You might be attracted by the extra credibility that corporate status can bring, or by the ability to pay dividends to shareholders or the reduced tax charge when looking to reinvest profits into the growth of the business. We can advise you on the implications, and help you with all aspects of conversion.
