EQ Engineering & Manufacturing

Engineering & Manufacturing Specialists

At EQ we believe the engineering & manufacturing sector is one of most important sectors for the UK and as such, each office has a dedicated team of specialist accountants. In recent years, the engineering & manufacturing sector has become increasingly dynamic, diverse and specialised, with a strong focus on innovation. As the sector becomes more competitive, it is crucial that engineers & manufacturers consider developing into new, national and international markets and recognise the importance of investment in not only machinery and technology, but in people – in key employees within the business which will benefit now and in the long term.

Our detailed understanding of the engineering & manufacturing sector allows our teams to offer professional support packages that are geared to your needs. This detailed understanding of the issues facing the engineering & manufacturing sector means that we can proactively work with you to run your business more efficiently, take advantage of opportunities and stay one step ahead in a demanding and dynamic environment.

We understand and advise on taxation, not only from a corporate point of view, which includes capital allowances and research and development tax credits, but also from a business owner point of view in remuneration extraction, succession planning and an exit strategy.  If your operations have overseas activities, we can also offer a seamless cross border service through our association with Kreston International, a global network of independent accountants.  This can prove invaluable when looking to expand in to new markets.

In addition to our core compliance services of accounts, audit and tax, we offer the following services to our engineering clients:

• Research and development tax credits and the patent box
• Capital allowances claims
• Acquisitions and disposals, including due diligence and raising business finance
