FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Wouldn't one of the large international firms be able to provide more back-up?

It is not the size of the firm that is important, but the quality of the people who are available to help with a particular problem.  Members of the APA attract some of the most highly trained and talented people in the accounting profession and more importantly, our clients have the active involvement of one of the partners in the firm, someone who is able to bring the highest level of experience and expertise to a business.

What help can APA offer to a successful business which wants to expand?

Members of the APA are familiar with the problems encountered by dynamic young companies.  Their close, yet objective involvement in the details of a client's business makes APA members ideal advisers to companies looking for the best way to grow.  Their diverse range of experience, together with their in-depth understanding of clients and their business goals, allows our members to use their contacts with financial institutions, banks, brokers and others in the financial community to maximum advantage.

What about other services, such as provision of specialist taxation or investment advice or general consultancy.  Can members of the APA provide these services?

Member firms provide a full range of business and financial services which not only include all the above, but also all the specialist services a business might require, such as mergers and acquisitions, insolvency and taxation advice.  What is more, the partners in APA member firms never lose sight of the fact that they are business people themselves, running their own businesses.  This fact, and their close involvement with clients, give them good understanding and appreciation of most business problems.
