Management accounts

Rebecca Brabrook

Rebecca heads up our Management accounts department which includes our book-keeping services, management accounts preparation, VAT returns and related advice. She also has responsibility for our on-line accounting service, which is provided as part of our Management accounts section.

Rebecca has much experience in accounting for VAT across a broad range of businesses which supply both goods and services. For our Internationally connected clients, Rebecca is familiar with the cross- border VAT accounting needs requiring registration both here in the UK and abroad, the reverse charge procedures and the additional reporting in the form of Intrastat and EC Sales List (ECSL) forms.

Rebecca works closely with our clients providing them confidence that their accounting needs are met and to allow them to concentrate on what they are good at, namely running their businesses.

Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys travelling and making cupcakes for her family and friends and coming up with different ideas and flavours.

James Beecher

James advises individuals and companies, both in the UK and overseas, on all aspects of audit, accountancy and taxation matters. He advises international clients, particularly from India and Africa, on how to structure trade and investments offshore, as well as assisting clients in establishing operations in the UK. James’ clients cover a broad range of activities from personal consulting companies, OMB’S, to subsidiaries of international groups, each with their own different accounting needs.

Many of James’ clients operate to tight reporting deadlines, being part of large listed groups or to meet more complex treasury management needs. With his team, these needs are met and delivered on a timely basis.

James works with clients to support their accounting functions, increasingly using cloud based software such as Xero and Quick Books on line. Working with the client, specific management reporting is provided which includes providing advice and assistance with the compliance of VAT, which can be a complex area.

As well as assisting with the establishment of branches or subsidiaries in the UK, James also advises on structures using offshore trusts and companies where appropriate for the client.

Outside of work, James focuses on fitness and enjoys running and pilates.
