Discover the Dains Difference: Clarity-driven, flexible, and personal audit services that support your ambitions.

We go back to basics – putting you at the centre. That means tailoring the audit process to how your business works, not the other way around. Whether you’re a fast-scaling SME or a complex group with cross-border operations, our audit services flex to meet your needs, now and as you grow.

 

Flexible, Scalable, and Designed Around You

Our audit and assurance solutions are never one-size-fits-all. We work closely with you to understand your business model, sector-specific risks, and strategic priorities - then design an audit approach that supports your journey.

With named audit and tax partners leading the relationship, you’ll always have direct access to senior decision-makers who care about your success.

We also take a joined-up approach to wider advisory needs. Where relevant, we can connect you to our in-house specialists in:

  •       Corporate Finance

  •       VAT & Customs

  •       Tax Planning

  •       Payroll & Employment Services

Because we invest time in getting to know your business, we can add real value beyond the audit file - providing insights, connections, and forward-thinking advice tailored to your goals.

 

Personal Service, Backed by International Reach

You’re not just a number at Dains. Our partner-led model means your audit is delivered with a high degree of personal attention, relationship continuity, and commercial understanding.

Through our affiliation with AGN International - a global alliance of independent professional services firms across 80+ countries - we can also support you with international audits, group structures, and global compliance.

Wherever you do business, we can help you stay confident, compliant, and ready to move forward.

 

Does Your Business Need an Audit?

It’s not always obvious whether a statutory audit is required – but the consequences of getting it wrong can be significant.

Several key factors determine audit eligibility, including:

  • Turnover, assets, and employee numbers - exceeding thresholds in any of these areas may trigger the need for an audit

  • Group structures - where businesses form part of a group, the rules can apply differently

  • Trade-specific exemptions - some industries may be ineligible for audit exemption, regardless of size

  • Timing and planning - it’s important to check eligibility early to avoid surprises and ensure compliance

Understanding your position now can help you make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary risk. We can guide you through the criteria and offer clear, practical advice on what’s required.
