Vision Consulting

What Vision Consulting does

Vision Consulting is a firm of chartered accountants and registered auditors based in London. It trades through Vision Consulting Accountants Limited, is regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and describes itself as founded in 2002. Its work is financial rather than technical: accounts, audit, tax, transactions, HMRC disputes and estates.

Who it works with

The site says it acts for business owners, property investors and private clients in the UK and internationally, from a single residential landlord to directors of major brands. Its property work mentions hotels, care homes, HMOs and student accommodation. Its testimonials page names DH Ceramics, Global HPO Ltd and Westcolt Surveyors, and the firm says it is Official Accounting and Auditing Partner of West Ham United Women. The site does not state a target client size as such, though it says it works with companies from owner-managed businesses to mid-sized groups.

How it works

The firm says each client keeps the same point of contact year to year, that senior staff run engagements, and that an in-house back office supports the analytical work. It quotes fixed annual fees in writing for accounts work, agrees audit scope and signing dates in writing, and says an initial call is not charged. It states that most new work comes by introduction from existing clients.

Partners and accreditations

The site states that it is ICAEW-regulated, a registered auditor, an ICAEW Authorised Training Employer and holder of the ICAEW probate licence, with participation in the ICAEW Legal Services Compensation Scheme. Its team includes Chartered Tax Advisers. No technology vendor partnerships are listed.
