Michael Pearson is the worldwide CFO of Regis Group, one of the UK’s largest privately owned property investment companies. When you are involved in residential property investment in the UK and Europe, as well as hotels and nightclub development, you need to work with an accountancy firm whose expertise and knowledge is just as extensive.
That is exactly what Mr Pearson believes he has found in Rickard Keen. The firm has acted as the group’s accountants for many years, and were the incumbent advisor when Mr Pearson joined.
“Rickard Keen continues to do a good job, so there is no need to look elsewhere,” explains Mr Pearson.
“They are always ready and able to discuss a wide range of issues, from the highly material to more basic operational questions. The key partners are very available and demonstrate a wide range of knowledge on the issues that matter to us.”
The accountants take care of the group’s audit and tax compliance, as well as the personal taxes of all the owners. They also advise on various business issues and have helped with some mergers and acquisitions, although that was before Mr Pearson joined.
“The team at Rickard Keen is very responsive and reactive, as well as proactive when looking at business issues. We work with them to develop creative and suitable solutions to problems, and they provide the required technical input.”
Mr Pearson would recommend Rickard Keen due to their “high degree of client service” and the fact that they are reactive and responsive to their clients’ needs.
“They have all round skills – the solid technical skills needed for the audit and creative thinking when working for the benefit of the business and its partners. They provide commercial insight and are able to spot potential issues.”
