See What's Included

Bookkeeping

Accurate, well-organised day-to-day financial record-keeping — maintained to a standard that stands up to audit scrutiny, not just a year-end tidy-up.

IFRS Advisory Services

Global accounting standards are in constant motion, and the pace of change is hard for in-house teams to track alongside day-to-day reporting duties. Recent changes with real balance-sheet impact include revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS 15), financial instruments (IFRS 9), and leases (IFRS 16) — with the new presentation and disclosure requirements under IFRS 18 due to take effect for periods beginning 1 January 2027. We help you understand what a new or amended standard means in practice, build a realistic implementation roadmap, and train your finance team so the transition doesn't fall entirely on one person's shoulders.

Business Combinations & Purchase Price Allocation

Every acquisition brings a purchase price allocation obligation — identifying and valuing the intangible assets that must be recognised separately, and understanding what the acquired business's balance sheet will look like once your group's accounting policies are applied. Get it wrong, or leave it too late, and the numbers you're left with can follow the business for years. We build purchase price allocations that are technically sound, properly evidenced, and ready for audit the first time.

Accounting Estimates

A meaningful share of any set of financial statements rests on management estimates — receivable and inventory write-downs, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, fair value of assets, provisions, and impairment testing. The hard part is rarely gathering the underlying data; it's building an estimate that holds up to standards-based scrutiny. We help you prepare estimates that are defensible, well-documented, and consistent year to year.

Optimising Financial Reporting Processes

A slow, error-prone close doesn't just frustrate your team — it delays the decisions that depend on it. We work with finance teams to improve data quality, shorten the record-to-report cycle, and remove the manual steps that make month-end harder than it needs to be, freeing your team to spend less time closing the books and more time acting on what they say.

Correction of Errors & Change in Accounting Policies

Accounting errors, misapplied standards, and voluntary changes in accounting policy all trigger a retrospective restatement — a research-heavy, evidence-heavy exercise that still has to happen alongside the day-to-day running of the business. We help you investigate the issue, quantify the correction, and apply the restatement correctly, without derailing your reporting timetable.

IFRS Conversion

Moving from UK GAAP to IFRS is, for most businesses, a once-in-a-lifetime project — which means there's rarely in-house experience to draw on. We provide a structured transition roadmap covering opening balance sheet adjustments, policy alignment, and disclosure requirements, drawing on experience gained across multiple conversions so you're not learning IFRS and applying it under deadline pressure at the same time. Businesses that convert typically report greater transparency for investors and lenders, stronger credibility with international counterparties, and improved comparability with global peers.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from finance leaders considering technical accounting and IFRS advisory support.

When does a business need IFRS advisory support?

Most businesses need specialist IFRS advisory support when facing a transaction or reporting requirement that falls outside routine bookkeeping — such as a business combination, a new revenue arrangement, a lease portfolio, a first-time IFRS adoption, or preparing for external audit. If your existing accountant is unsure how to treat a transaction, that's a strong signal to bring in a technical accounting specialist.

What is the difference between technical accounting advisory and bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping records day-to-day transactions. Technical accounting advisory determines the correct accounting treatment for complex or judgmental transactions under IFRS — such as revenue recognition, lease accounting, business combinations, and financial instruments — and documents that judgment in a way that withstands audit scrutiny. We offer both as distinct services, so you can engage us for either or both under one roof.

Do you work with UK businesses only, or international groups too?

IFRION Advisory is UK-based and works with UK businesses, multinational subsidiaries reporting under IFRS, and international groups with UK operations, including private equity portfolio companies and venture-backed startups.

How quickly can IFRION Advisory help with audit readiness?

Response time depends on the scope of the engagement, but we typically respond to enquiries within one business day and can scope an audit readiness review or technical accounting position paper quickly once we understand the transaction and your audit timeline.

Do you provide ongoing accounting advisory or one-off engagements?

Both. Many clients engage us for a single complex transaction or position paper, while others retain us on an ongoing basis for periodic financial reporting, accounting policy maintenance, and audit support across multiple reporting periods.

Do you replace our external auditor?

No — we work alongside your external auditors, not in place of them. We resolve technical accounting questions and prepare audit-ready documentation on your side of the table, so fewer issues surface for the first time during fieldwork.

How is IFRION different from a Big Four firm or a generic accountant?

We bring Big Four–calibre technical discipline without the overhead of a full-service firm, and unlike a generalist accountant, we specialise in the complex, judgment-heavy transactions that routine bookkeeping doesn't cover. You work directly with the partner on your engagement, not a rotating team.
