Advisory Services
Our advisory team are simply an extension of your business talent, which means you benefit from their expertise and can trust them to challenge and help you deliver sustainable strategies for the time ahead.
We can assist with a wide-variety of areas such as:

Corporate Finance and Transaction Support
Our team can provide a wide range of support from sourcing acquisition targets or selling off non-core divisions through to full lead advisory services on a sale, merger or acquisition.

Corporate Taxation
Changing legislation and a lack of suitably experienced personnel make the challenge of dealing with corporate taxes even more stretching in an increasingly competitive business environment.

Customs Duty
The global economy has led to many businesses trading in increased volumes internationally, both import and export and the scrutiny of cross border flows becomes ever greater.

Employment Taxes
Over many years, our specialist Employment Taxes team has advised Plc’s and very large Owner Managed Businesses in the face of rapidly changing legislation.

Research & Development Tax Credits and UK Patent Box
Our specialist team has significant experience in dealing with R&D Tax credits and a detailed knowledge of the SME and large company rules.

VAT and Indirect Taxes
VAT is a notoriously complex tax and given its transactional nature, we are often required to turn around queries quickly.

VAT Consulting
Transactional advice requires an ability to make decisions and advise time effectively and that’s why many of our clients have stayed with Dains over many years. We get to the point quickly but thoroughly and are proactive in our advice.

VAT Inspections and Litigation
HMRC inspections need not be daunting, nor intrusive. We offer clients a range of services, depending on requirements and the nature of the enquiry.
