All our offices and projects are led by a Western professionally qualified partner/director with significant experience of working in this region.
We assist initial market entry by providing a registered office address, fully equipped office accommodation and related support services, including the nominating of an experienced and trustworthy Russian/local national employee to act as interim General Director, should these services be needed.
Our main activity is in performing the outsourced accounting function under Russian accounting rules and in generating from this the management reports required by the foreign owner or auditor, including their transformation to US GAAP or IFRS.
We also provide
• accounting and tax compliance services required by local legislation,• non complex legal services (work permit, visa support, contract advice between parent and daughter and in relation to personnel matters, shareholder resolutions, advice on capital increase),• recruiting/assessment of experienced finance/accounting staff,• IT consultancy on “1 C” software (the predominant Russian accounting software) and Navision, including their interface with SAP.• Formal take-over of General Director function according to local statutory legislation.
Through our associate CHECKPOINT Russia we are able to assist companies with operational and logistical issues, such as market and industry analyses and import and export.
Our services will be particularly useful to companies setting up or developing a subsidiary, representative office or branch in Russia/CIS, as through our experience and focus on this activity we are able to anticipate your needs and resolve any issues that may arise.
We aim not to compete with but to work alongside and closely co-operate with your US auditors and legal advisers.
