our services
Our services are all carried out by specialists and include:

audit and assurance
Audit and assurance services are tailored to suit your specific needs.  We ensure our work is effective and efficient by focusing on key issues well ahead of the year-end; this enables us to meet timetables with ease and ensures our work is directed to the key areas.  We understand that continuity of personnel is very important, and ensure that you are dealing with people who know you and understand your business.  Our role as your auditors provides us with a unique opportunity to spend time with you and in return we will add value to your organisation.

VAT advice
Our VAT team is experienced in dealing with Registered Providers.  They have built a strong reputation over many years based advising on complex transactions and on negotiating with the HMRC.  We ensure that our advice is comprehensible and practical, as well as technically accurate; and we work with you to ensure the result suits your needs and resources, and is properly implemented.

tax compliance and advice
We provide the compliance support necessary to relieve the regulatory burden and provide a comprehensive advisory service.  Our work covers all areas of tax including assisting with the preparation of tax computations and helping structure trading activities to avoid tax problems.

internal audit
Whether you are seeking support for a major and ongoing internal audit process or a relatively small and specific internal audit project, haysmacintyre is able to provide an expert and cost-effective service.

As a result of being one of the leading advisers to the not for profit sector, haysmacintyre can provide a full risk based internal audit programme delivered by experienced staff.

haysmacintyre has an enormous wealth of external and internal audit expertise which it has used to develop a series of specialist reviews that can be tailored to the particular needs of each client.

Our internal audit reports are structured in such a way as to highlight significant findings and recommendations with easy access to the more detailed information. This saves valuable time and provides clear guidance for Trustees and management on what needs to happen to improve each area under review.
