Testimonials

Rehrig Pacific is a world leader in the provision of premium crate and container products, with offices across the United States, South America and the Far East.  We recently took the decision to expand our business into the UK.  Kevin Beare & Co have worked with us throughout every aspect of setting up and establishing our UK business and we are now proud to say that we have a growing  and successful UK operation. 

We may speak the same language but doing business in the UK is a whole different challenge compared to doing business back in the US.  The only way to succeed is to harness the local knowledge and experience necessary to guide you. Working closely with Kevin Beare & Co we were helped through the entire process and were able to call on their skills and expertise every step of the way.  They really do provide us with a comprehensive level of support which affords us the peace of mind that we are doing things correctly.

Kevin and his team have guided us through setting up the company and registering with the legal and fiscal authorities.  Not only do they look after all our accounting and taxation requirements and our employee payroll, they have also advised us and helped set up our insurances and employee benefit packages. In addition they have even been instrumental in recruiting UK staff for us. 

Nothing it seems is too much trouble for this dedicated team of professionals.  To us they are far more than just our Accountants. By working with Kevin Beare & Co we have benefited from all the services we would expect to receive from our own dedicated in house finance, administration and HR departments, but at a fraction of the cost.

I would certainly recommend the services of Kevin and his team to any overseas company wishing to establish and grow a successful UK operation.  We would not be where we are today without them. Jim Drew. Rehrig Pacific

Kevin Beare & Co provides a unique service which fills a very real gap for a UK operation of our size. Over the past two years we could not justify the expense of a full time Finance Director but we needed that level of expertise to deal with our statutory and financial reporting and business planning. We have found Kevin Beare & Co very comfortable to work with in this role. They are true professionals who have an extremely flexible and reasonable approach enabling them to adapt quickly to our needs. This was demonstrated recently when we took over another company and had to merge the payrolls and prepare redundancy packages at short notice. The way in which Kevin Beare & Co provided all the necessary manpower and Human Resource expertise to meet this challenge was absolutely superb – first class! In short these are people we trust absolutely; people who we have come to regard as part of our own team. Gary Beck. CSI International 

Since moving the financial management of our UK operation to Kevin Beare & Co in 2001 we have been impressed by their highly professional and competent service. They support our local operation by managing the accounting, payroll and ESPP functions, reporting direct to the US, freeing UK management from administrative duties so they can concentrate on their business activities. We in the UK have peace of mind knowing that Kevin Beare and Co will genuinely do what they say they will do when they say they will do it and they never need chasing. Our employees have peace of mind knowing that their payroll matters are dealt with efficiently and they are always notified promptly when funds are paid into their bank accounts. Our US Head Office has peace of mind knowing that Kevin Beare & Co are monitoring our UK marketing budget and reporting financial information back on a timely basis. The most amazing part is that all this is done for a low cost monthly fixed fee with no hidden extras. The service we receive is definitely second to none for efficiency and value for money.

We are a hi-tech US software company based near Boston, selling leading edge billing solutions mainly to communications companies and 3G service providers. We recognised the huge potential in the European marketplace for our product but had no idea how to go about starting up in Europe. Our Accountants introduced us to Kevin Beare & Co. They have been fantastic! They helped us every step of the way in setting up our European Sales operation in the UK: for example, ensuring compliance with legal requirements such as Employers Liability Insurance and setting up staff benefit packages including Life, Medical, Critical Health and Disability Insurances and Pension provision. In addition, Kevin Beare & Co has been great at plugging us into their business ecosystem. This has allowed MetraTech and its employees to get advice on all fronts; recruiting, employment and immigration law and even personal financial planning. Kevin Beare & Co take care of all our admin work, dealing with payroll issues and paying expenses, leaving our team free to concentrate on building the European business. Stuart Easton. European Sales Director. MetraTech Corp. 

Kevin Beare & Co has actually saved us more money than it costs to employ them! Let me explain. We are a fast growing US company supplying Thin Client Appliances to the computing market. We have been marketing our products in Europe for several years through our UK branch office. By 1998 we had accumulated a backlog of paperwork relating to payroll and statutory matters. It was then that we were introduced to Kevin Beare & Co. They specialise in supporting new and developing businesses, especially branches or subsidiaries of overseas companies, and as we were to discover, their expertise in this field really is second to none! They soon sorted out our payroll matters and since then have provided us with an exemplary service. They administer the payroll and arrange and monitor employee benefits, dealing with brokers on our behalf; a full professional financial service for a very competitive fixed monthly fee. But the best part is that through their expert knowledge of overseas companies operating in the UK they were able to successfully obtain backdated VAT registration for our UK branch, even though all our sales are made direct from the US, thus enabling us to reclaim the VAT on our UK expenses. The quarterly VAT refunds Kevin Beare & Co obtain for us more than cover their fees, which means that employing them actually saves us money! Peter Bolton. Neoware Systems, Inc

I can depend upon Kevin Beare & Co to provide an efficient and reliable Accounting and Payroll service and much more besides.
