Corporate administration
Report
We have been providing corporate administration services for over 25 years. Our individual and corporate clients look to us for efficient and expert accounting, disciplined corporate governance and administrative excellence. By removing resource intensive, non-core administration activities, our corporate administration services provide them with the high level of support required to enable them to focus on what they do best.
Corporate business recovery
Report
Within Lubbock Fine's corporate recovery arm, we operate on the basis that prevention is the best cure. Insolvency and liquidation are very much the last resort; a dramatic and final turn of events is not the inevitable outcome for all ailing businesses.
In the majority of cases where a struggling business is saved, time has been a crucial factor. The sooner problems are identified and addressed, the sooner the appropriate financial and management resources can be installed to achieve a turnaround. If you think that there may be a problem, there probably is.

Corporate finance
Report
With a dedicated corporate finance team, Lubbock Fine can work with you to effect the right transaction for your business.
Moving from business dream to hard profit requires specialist input. Disposals, flotations, acquisitions, overseas expansion, a flotation on AIM or ISDX Growth Market may be the largest transaction in your business history. The difference between success and failure could be defined by the quality of professional help you call in.

Financial reporting and audit
Report
Auditing and financial reporting are both traditionally at the core of our business. They are central requirements to many clients and for larger businesses both are statutory requirements. Every UK company is obliged to file a set of accounts and this is a process where we can really add value for our clients. While audit is no longer a statutory requirement for some small and medium sized businesses, many of them opt for a voluntary audit in order to keep a firm grip on their financial position. Whether your audit is a legal requirement or a voluntary undertaking, as with everything we do, the audit process at Lubbock Fine is based upon adding value

International tax planning
Report
Lubbock Fine chartered accountants specialise in international tax planning. We provide bespoke international tax advice and expatriate tax planning assistance to a broad range of clients.
All cross border transactions have a tax implication. While these can be relatively straightforward requiring little specialist consideration, once presence is established in a foreign jurisdiction matters become much more complex, often resulting in unforeseen tax liabilities or missed opportunities for mitigation. Specialist international tax advice is therefore essential

Inward investment
Report

Our inward investor client base continues to grow and develop, and our comprehensive range of services supports these businesses ensuring they remain compliant with all developments and changes to the UK tax and accounting rules. Our service is efficient and cost effective providing first class management information required for making sound decisions
Taxation responds as well to good planning and control as any other business cost. As leading tax accountants based in London, we believe that all clients are different and need individual tax strategies. These strategies ensure that liabilities are known in advance and that maximum benefit is made of allowances and reliefs.

Lubbock Fine have been my accountant of choice since 2003. They are quite simply fantastic and provide a 5 star service at reasonable rates, getting the job done properly each and every time. Fantastic service and notable shout outs to Stephen Banks and Phan Dang without whom I would have been stuck a few times! Cannot rate them highly enough, and remember this is accountants we are talking about not food!

I am a long standing customer of Lubbock Fine and have found them to be excellent across the many accounting requirements I have had in that time.
As my client partner, Stephen has demonstrated an excellent ability to distill down complex issues into a sensible plan of action whilst simultaneously explaining these to me succinctly throughout the process.
Full marks all round.

Very poor service from this firm, resulted in our accounts being late for two years in a row. Our experience is that if you are not a big account for this firm then they do not care about you and do not provide the service that is expected. If you are a small company go somewhere else to be a valued customer, they will not value your business here!
