THE SUPPORT YOU DESERVE, FROM AN AUDIT FIRM THAT GETS IT.

In today’s economic climate, many businesses tell us the same thing — they’re not
getting the support they need from their current audit firm. Have you seen your
audit fees rise, but the level of service slip? We hear this often from businesses
that turn to us after feeling let down by their previous firm. Some also feel they’ve
outgrown their advisors, while others feel left behind.

At AAB, we believe audit should be more than a tick-box exercise. It should offer
insight, spark better decisions, and give you confidence in where you’re headed.
Our audit team is part of a wider group with deep specialist knowledge across the
UK and Ireland. That means we’re equipped to support businesses of all sizes,
across all sectors — with practical advice, delivered when it matters most.

We take the time to understand your world, ask the right questions, and offer more
than just a year-end sign-off. We’re here to help you save money, time, and sleep a
little easier — today, and as your business grows.

EXTERNAL AUDIT: COMPLIANCE, NOT COMPLEXITY

Our external auditors' primary role is to ensure that your financial statements present a true and fair view. However, to us that’s just the start. We look to get under the skin of your business and provide data that can inform your best business decisions. We go beyond traditional auditing by challenging the status quo to help you succeed.

Working with clients across a wide range of sectors – from construction to charities, energy to education – means we’ll already be familiar with your marketplace, risks and legislation. We will gain a thorough understanding of your business, collect input from partners and senior staff, working unobtrusively with your people with minimal impact and above all, provide value for money.
