Service Overview
Our Services
CPA Audit offers a selection of accounting and fund administration services developed specially for clients in the financial services sector who either hold Appointed Representative (AR) status, or who are FCA regulated such as Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). Our services are designed to attentively take care of the procedural burden more efficiently and at a lower cost than the alternative options.
Why CPA Audit?
We have been servicing the financial service sector’s regulatory and operational needs since 2005, and continue to offer regulatory, technology and operational solutions via our group and sister companies to this day.
We undertake accounting and fund administration duties as part of our existing group services, and contributing our expertise in these areas as a standalone service is decidedly a natural extension of our service offering.
Our experienced team will work with you to understand your firm’s specific needs and provide a timely service, giving you confidence and security in your financial and administrative operations.
Fund Administration Services
Fund administration processes are often beset with delays and disorganisation due to complex bureaucratic structures within most fund administration firms. Our team’s structure allows for close collaboration to ensure a timely, orderly and quality service to satisfy all necessary fund administration requirements and exceed your expectations of service.
