Newcastle accountancy firm to facilitate major German firm’s UK expansion

North East knowledge and expertise is set to help one of Germany’s leading business advisors put their UK expansion plans into action.

goetzpartners is ranked among the ten largest advisory firms in Germany and advises on all key issues of entrepreneurial activity, such as strategy, M&A and transformation, in a range of key sectors, including energy, finance, healthcare, automotive, retail, FMCG and telecommunications.

The combination of corporate finance and management consulting creates sustainable added value when determining valid courses of action, reaching decisions and implementing them.

The Munich-headquartered firm, which has 12 offices in nine countries around the world, has worked with RMT Accountants & Business Advisors for over a decade on managing its bookkeeping, payroll and management accounts in the UK, as well as ensuring it meets the regulatory requirements set down by the Financial Conduct Authority.

In order to successfully implement their new expansion activity in the UK in the coming years, goetzpartners has now asked RMT for support in all administration, regulation and accounting matters.

Stéphanie Catala, director of finance and controlling at goetzpartners, says: “The continuing improvement we’re seeing in the economy means we’re looking to grow our presence in the UK in 2016, and RMT’s support will be central to helping us develop and implement these plans.

“The industry in which we work is very highly regulated, and RMT will support us in appreciating the fine detail of what’s required by the Financial Conduct Authority to meet these requirements.

“We have a strong relationship with the RMT team, and the work they carry out so reliably and comprehensively for us is a key part of keeping our UK operations running as smoothly as possible.”

Stephen Slater, director at RMT Accountants, adds: “Being chosen by goetzpartners to help their UK expansion drive is testament to the impact that our team’s expertise can provide, and we’re excited about the potential for growth that we’ll be helping them to realise.”
