Our sectors

Insurance intermediaries

Insurance intermediaries rely on our advice for statutory audit, client money reviews and independent operational insight. Our tax experts understand the importance of compliance and beyond and we can help you if you are looking to incentivise your people or are buying or selling a business.

All our services are provided by our insurance intermediary specialists which means you are always advised by people who understand your business.

Insurance carriers

Insurance carriers are familiar with dealing with a continuation of changing regulatory and financial reporting requirements on their business. You also need to anticipate and estimate the impact of future events to calculate a price for taking uncertainty away from other businesses or individuals. This can all prove to be challenging – and events around the world continue to show how difficult such forecasting and pricing can be.
