Jones Avens

Many of our clients have come to value the service we provide in preparing (and auditing if required) the annual accounts and financial statements. As a result these are seen as real value to businesses in that they act as confirmation of the results endorsing the accounting systems and controls and provide comfort to Trustees, Directors, owners and their staff that the businesses are being run on a sound and proper footing.
We strive to maintain the same staff with you each year to minimise disruption and the knowledge that our staff gain can be used to further enhance your business.

A proper professionally prepared report enhances your reputation with family, investors, funders, customers and credit agencies.

We can also provide support in preparing profit and cash flow forecasts, balance sheet projections, budgeting and many other business reporting functions.

In times of financial difficulty we can help with business plans of capital raising.

We believe we can enhance your own reputation.

We are proud of the not-for-profit organisations for which we act as auditors, partners and advisors.

We have helped many charities with their accounting, auditing and corporate governance matters. We have established trading companies to assist in income protection. We have a team of experts in this specialist part of your business. We have assisted charities in carrying out Corporate Governance reviews and have implemented and carried out those reviews as independent consultants. VAT for charities is a complex area and we can advise on how VAT applies to your organisation, and individual processes.

A key area for Credit Unions has been complying with regulation by the Financial Services Authority. Credit Unions have turned to us to provide them with support in the reporting regime following FSA regulation. We can assist in the establishment of accounting systems to ensure proper control and reporting within time scales.

Charitable Schools have seen us as a partner in formulating and executing their business plans. We have established reporting accounting systems and have been involved in financing decisions concerning new developments, including the evaluation of funding packages.

Jones Avens can offer expert advice in valuing unquoted shares and businesses.

The valuation may be required for a number of reasons, for example, shareholder retiring, management buy-out, sale of the business to a third party, or divorce situations. We will discuss the requirements of the vendor, and the information required, before preparing a detailed valuation report.

There are a range of situations where an expert financial witness may be required. In the recent past we have assisted with business valuations, forensic investigations into fraud and valuations for matrimonial purposes.

The format of this service adapts to meet the needs of our clients, and rages from providing written reports to third parties to court appearances, if required.
