What the AAT licence means
AAT licenses members in practice and holds them to professional standards. A licensed accountant is required to behave professionally and ethically, to comply with the regulations that apply to the work they carry out, and to maintain their competence through continuing professional development. AAT monitors its licensed members and operates a disciplinary process.
The licence is held by an individual — Oxana Mateciuc — and it is under her supervision that the firm’s accountancy services are led. It is not a description of the firm as a whole, and we do not describe it as one.
The scope of our advice
We provide accountancy, tax compliance and tax advisory services. We do not provide regulated financial advice: investments, pensions, mortgages and insurance are matters for advisers authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, and where a client needs that advice we coordinate with their authorised adviser rather than substitute for one. We do not provide legal advice or legal drafting; where a matter requires it, we work alongside the client’s solicitor.
Acting for you with HMRC
We can only deal with HMRC on your behalf once you have authorised us to do so — normally through an agent authorisation (form 64-8 or the equivalent digital authorisation). Authorisation is specific to the taxes it covers, it is given by you, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Anti-money-laundering checks
Because the firm is supervised for anti-money-laundering purposes, we are required to identify and verify our clients, to understand the purpose of the work we are asked to carry out, and to keep those records. This applies to every client, it is not a comment on any individual, and we cannot begin chargeable work until it is complete.
If something goes wrong
We would rather hear about a problem than not. Our Complaints Procedure explains how to raise a concern, who will look at it and how a complaint can be escalated to AAT if you remain dissatisfied.
