- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Turnover increased by 18% year on year ("YoY") to £2.06m, with gross profit increasing by the same proportion. This demonstrates strong and sustainable core business growth, driven by client acquisition, deeper wallet share, and our continuing reputation for service quality.”
- “Profit after taxation rose 6% YoY to £291k, with the firm supporting increased investment in people, systems, and compliance infrastructure.”
- “Our discretionary investment management strategies again delivered significant outperformance against benchmarks over the year and continue to show strong risk-adjusted returns on a 3-year, 5-year, and since-inception basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
