Beatriz Schumann, Karis Property Company Limited
They are always “on it”, sending me reminders or calling me to discuss forthcoming tax liabilities. Their approach to completion of tax returns is first class, they don’t just process the numbers, but look behind the scenes.
Bruce Ferguson, Hunting PLC
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending AAB to anyone else who, like us, may be struggling to get the expert advice required, especially when it involves coming back to the UK and managing tax aspects on overseas income and assets.
John Bannerman
Everyone involved worked seamlessly together and also with the legal advisors, guiding me through the whole process which was completed within a very tight timeframe. Great job with a result better than I could have hoped for!

INSOLVENCY

When a criminal or negligent act results in a business insolvency, it has serious consequences for all the innocent parties involved, such as customers, suppliers and employees. We can investigate the insolvent company to discover if there is evidence of wrongdoing such as assets that have been expropriated or used improperly, liabilities that have been concealed or a fraud that has destabilised the company’s finances.

Our experts’ experience of dealing with insolvencies means they know where to look for evidence, whilst their knowledge of litigation support ensure that evidence is compiled effectively. We can support you if you are involved in litigation concerning:

Wrongful trading assessments and investigations
Insolvency investigations
Director fiduciary duties and conduct reviews
