In our competitive and ever changing world, getting the right advice when you need it often marks the difference between success and failure. The Kingston Smith ethos is to help our clients succeed in meeting their commercial and financial goals.
How we can help you
Most of our client organisations are managed by the people who own them or who originally started them. Through our many years’ experience of dealing with all types of entrepreneur we understand how you think, and the various stages of the business cycle that your organisation will experience. This has enabled us to build up a wide range of specialist services in addition to audit and accounting work, to support you through the opportunity and uncertainty that comes with change.
To do so, our partners formulate a deep understanding of the marketplace and environment in which each client operates so that we can tailor the right Kingston Smith service just when you need it.

Your first three years in business - Business failures are all too common. Many business analysts agree that the first three years of a business’ life are the hardest.
Starting a creative business - There are few barriers to entry in the creative world. If your business is to be successful it must be supported by strong foundations.
Making your business valuable - What makes a business attractive to a prospective buyer is also fundamental to long term success as an independently owned company.
Freelancers - When thinking of engaging an additional person, how do you decide on the best way of doing this? If you get it wrong there can be significant unexpected tax liabilities.
Preparing for retirement - Succession planning should be high on every business owner’s list of priorities, and not just for the sake of the continuity of the company and its employees.
