What makes our approach different
Expert led Independent Tax Consulting
WE ARE INDEPENDENT
We are free from any audit and assurance client relationships and any related conflicts of interest. As a result we will always be in a position to represent and advise our clients and will always be able to defend our work.
WE HAVE A UNIQUE MIX OF SKILLS
FTI Consulting has market leading practices in Strategic Communications, Economic Consulting, Data Analysis, Discovery Consulting, Corporate Finance, Restructuring and Transaction Support.
This broadens and deepens the scope of the tax team’s work – for example advising alongside Strategic Communications to help clients to understand the tax environment and associated political developments, and to assess stakeholder and public perception.
WE HAVE A HANDS-ON SENIOR TEAM
Our senior team members make time to get to know our clients and their business and will be involved in the delivery of the work where experience and specialist knowledge is required. We have an extensive team and believe in involving people at the appropriate level whenever possible – but we don’t push work down to a junior level to just reduce costs.
We are an independent expert-led tax practice, with definitive expertise across many areas of tax and a commercial approach to advising our clients.
As leaders in their fields, our senior team are qualified in accounting, tax, law and surveying.
We are an experienced team of tax professionals selectively drawn from the Big Four accountancy firms and leading positions in industry.

We provide tax advisory services to FTSE 100 and major corporations across a broad suite of tax services and technical specialisms.
