VAT for Accountants / Solicitors

Many professional service firms do not have the resource of an in-house VAT consultant which can give rise to the following:

• a lack of awareness of VAT issues surrounding a particular client's activities;
• a lack of skills to assist clients when a complex VAT issue arises;
• a lack of knowledge regarding changes in VAT legislation and case law.

Bearing in mind that many clients migrate to large national accountants and law firms to access specialist skills, working with CVC presents a superb opportunity to enhance client service, generate additional fees and protect your client and your firm.

CVC works with firms of accountants and solicitors by providing specialist input on VAT matters as required. This may simply involve advising by email on a specific transaction or could mean meeting with your client on a proactive basis to review the VAT aspects of their business. We can also provide marketing materials when there is an issue of some significance in order that you may bring VAT matters to the attention of your clients. Whatever level of service is required you can be assured that the response from CVC will be prompt, professional and will identify areas of potential concern as well as dealing with the immediate matter in hand.

Using CVC as a resource will strengthen your firm’s profile and has the following benefits over employing an in-house VAT consultant:

• Availability of expert assistance every working day.
• No need to pay for holidays, sick leave or unutilised time.
• Access to a breadth of expertise only usually available from a top four firm as and when you need it.
