Experts in audit and advisory services to occupational pension schemes and everything in-between.
Our team are dedicated pension specialists with years of experience in the sector, so you can trust you will always have expert advice and support.
We provide a proactive, informed, and senior approach, deliver constructive feedback, and are available to respond to your questions year-round.
We believe that open, honest, and timely communication is the best way to ensure your engagement is on track and to identify and discuss any issues early.
Our clients trust us to deliver quality audits regardless of the size and nature of their scheme. Our client portfolio is wide ranging from Small Self Administered Schemes (SSAS), to Defined Contribution and Defined Benefit schemes with only a few members to much larger schemes with net assets of over £1bn and several thousand members.
This includes schemes with complex contribution structures, multiple sections, and diverse investment portfolios, including those with fiduciary managers, multiple investment managers, and those holding direct property, derivative investments, and special purpose vehicles.
Many of our clients are long-standing clients, which is a testament to the trusted working relationships that our teams form.
We have good relationships with all the major pension scheme administrators which allows us to deliver insight into how your scheme is operating as well as being able to deliver a robust audit process that meets your timetable.
Audit quality is at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to provide outstanding service, to support you and be accessible. Our assurance work is carried out to the highest standards and is both constructive and challenging.

Trustees and Employers need to consider as a minimum
This makes it ever more important that you get the right advice at the right time to ensure compliance and protect members’ benefits.
Our highly experienced team of Pensions specialists can assist Trustees and Employers throughout the United Kingdom in meeting their obligations by providing an independent assessment which is proportional to your scheme’s risk profile and funding level.
An independent covenant review can be beneficial during negotiations between the trustees and employer by providing guidance on what the employer can afford to pay and over what timescale. It can also assist the Trustees in considering whether steps should be taken to reduce the level of the risk-based Pension Protection Fund levy.
We are able to provide Trustees and Employers with a range of specialist support services including:
