The future of accountancy

Services / Specialist Sectors / Professional Practices

Smailes Goldie Chartered Accountants are highly trained in providing accounting, financial and tax advice for a variety of professional practices which have a unique set of rules and requirements to follow.

Law firms

Whether you are a sole practitioner or a multi-partner firm, we have the expertise and understanding of all financial matters relating to the legal profession, including Solicitors' Accounts Rule reports, preparing annual accounts, providing tax advice and compliance services.

With the Legal Services Act 2007 coming into force, we can also guide you through the complexities of the Alternative Business Structures (ABSs), which will see major changes to the ownership of law firms and their funding. Our partner, Mark Sharpley, specialises in helping law firms and is currently Chairman of the UK200 Legal Group.
