Dynamic businesses continually face new opportunities and challenges – both internally and externally – and they need to react and evolve to them accordingly. As a leader, be that a CFO, FD, owner, or an audit committee chair, you need assurance that your team and the business is prepared to meet those changes now and in the future, and that you understand the impact on your financial position. It is therefore critical you have the right advisors who can meet those needs.

For a business like yours, audit and assurance are more than simple compliance. When you combine the right team and experience with expert execution, they can produce valuable insights into your systems and processes, internal reporting structure and team. You also get a deeper insight into the broader issues you are facing, not only now but also in the future.

At S&W, our assurance practitioners combine a wealth of experience with leading edge tools and methodologies, as well as a collaborative approach to working with their peers. Our senior leaders are involved and engaged in your business, and together, we can unlock the advice that really matters.

  • People Tick

    Proactive, engaged leadership

    We’ve become the benchmark in bringing service to life through proactive, continuous engagement from our senior team. Our partners, directors and senior management pride themselves on leading your work from the front. There is no point in having a strong team if they are not actively collaborating with both your team and ours.

  • Thinking

    Focussing on what matters when it matters

    We collaborate with our clients to carve out strategies and remedy issues robustly and effectively. We spend ample time planning, understanding the business, and identifying risks to prepare tests that meet our collective goals and that you understand. The most serious issues are spotlighted and resolved efficiently and quickly.

  • People Talk

    Communication, communication, communication

    Effective communication is crucial in ensuring there are no surprises. This extends to not only communicating with you, the client, but also our internal teams where information exchanges are fluid, active and in sync. We simplify these conversations by adhering to an approach that works best for our clients. Through experience, we’ve found onsite interaction greatly benefits the process, but, as always, we’re flexible to your desires and requirements.

Mark and his team have delivered one of the best audits I have ever been involved in – despite it being the transition year from the big four. They have challenged us in a proactive, efficient, and pragmatic way, whilst providing robust and insightful feedback.
