The UHY Haines Norton difference: Listen, Understand, Solve It’s vital to choose the right chartered accountants. Entrusting the details of your business to someone else is not unlike revealing your most personal, intimate details to your doctor. You expect absolute discretion
and sound, professional advice from years of training and experience. At UHY Haines Norton, we do the friendly doctor bit: not only do we look at the big picture, but we also know when a specialist is required. Our highly trained experts can take care of even the most complex issues, all in-house; all part of the service, at a sensible fee. And, should we need to, we can call on our overseas network. UHY Haines Norton have a deep understanding of business. We take great pride in being up to date with the latest legislation and best practice. Our clients value this knowledge. Their most difficult and risky decisions are made only after consultation with UHY. We have a customer satisfaction rating of over 90%. We’re loyal and friendly; proud of the long-term relationships we’ve built with our clients and their families. Just like your doctor, really: good for your financial health.
The detail in the differences… Global Affiliation. We have the resources and the credibility to handle complex situations. This reduces business risk, especially for export-oriented clients and international businesses with overseas shareholders. The UHY Haines Norton 25-Day Turnaround. A key difference between us and other accountants is that we schedule when your financial statements will be prepared. This way you know when we require your information and when your financial statements will be completed. You know where your financial position lies, more quickly. Fee Smart. It’s just the smarter way to pay – spreading account fees over 6 to 12 months, improving your cash flow, now.
