Why Menzies FD Advisory Services?

Phil Wright – Director

Many SME business owners simply don’ t have the resources or even the business need for a full time Finance Director, but they do need the structure and insight this role brings.

Menzies are often appointed by the Finance Directors of large companies and groups to work alongside their existing auditors.
This may be for a variety of reasons such as:

So we devised an ‘FD tax toolkit’ to highlight some of the ways in which we can help large and multinational companies.

• The auditors being ‘conflicted out’ of providing certain services;
• Delivering a more cost effective and responsive solution for the business;
• Relieving compliance pressures on the in-house team; or
• Removing the reliance on just one firm of advisers.
