Our aim is to ensure our clients’ financial reporting complies with increasingly complex regulatory requirements, whilst also achieving their commercial and strategic objectives.
We add value by combining technical expertise with hands-on experience of complex projects such as GAAP conversions, mergers and acquisitions, IPOs and corporate turnarounds.
In summary, Ellis FR offers a rare combination of expertise not only in finding the optimal technical solutions, but also in implementing and embedding them in clients’ businesses.
Our expertise encompasses IFRS, US and UK GAAP, so we can provide integrated advice to dual reporters.
