GUIDANCE TOWARDS YOUR GOALS

Today, the world is more closely connected than ever, and our shared challenges mean new opportunities. You can create those opportunities by expanding or establishing your business overseas.

Our expertise includes:

  • Inward investment
  • Setting up a UK business
  • International expansion
  • Mergers & acquisitions across the globe
  • International mobility
  • Tax planning and structuring for businesses and individuals
  • Offshore trusts

At the heart of this is our expertise in international tax. We provide specialist advice on the tax complexities you may encounter when working, trading and investing cross-border.

We give guidance to people as well as businesses. For high net worth individuals and executives with international interests, we offer a complete and personalised UK tax service, supported by decades of experience.

Our advice to non-resident and non-domiciled individuals includes a focus on structuring the purchase of UK commercial and residential property. We also have experience in advising investors on the use of trusts and foundations and other more esoteric structures for tax planning purposes.

Our membership of DFK, a global alliance of over 200 accounting & tax firms in 90 countries, means we can offer you added local expertise.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

SeaTec International

Scott Woodison - Vice President of Operations

"We are a US company and were introduced to BKL in 2017 when establishing our UK subsidiary. BKL brought a wealth of knowledge on doing business in the UK and accounting and tax implications with our US parent company.
We have worked seamlessly with David and Lucy Needleman in performing the statutory annual audit and preparation and filing of annual tax returns. Additionally, the firm processes monthly payroll, prepares and files quarterly VAT returns, and assists with regulatory filings with Companies House. All of this has been conducted remotely with our US accounting team with no issues.
Each person we have interacted with at BKL has been knowledgeable, personable, and great to work with. I would highly recommend David and everyone at BKL based on our experience."

Shaul Ilan - Co-Founder and COO

"Whatever service at BKL have provided – be it accounting & tax compliance, bookkeeping, VAT or payroll; guidance on structuring, employee share options and R&D tax credits – they have been highly professional, engaged and responsive, not just as individual experts but as one cohesive team.
Their specific expertise is matched by their personal, supportive approach. From the start, they have been real partners in our business.
We have been highly impressed with the entire team which forms a full solution in the financials and more. We feel fortunate to have BKL as our partners and can highly recommend BKL to other firms who are looking to set up operations in the UK."
