Business Advisory Services

Kivu Logística has gained many years of valued experience advising clients of varying sizes and industry types. We take a proactive approach to the provision of our services and offer intuitive insights into the challenges that face individual business sectors. We believe in offering more than standardised financial advice, and always go that extra mile to achieve results that are goal orientated.

Maintaining a sustainable and financially profitable business can be a challenge, especially in today’s business world that has seen an increase in market volatility, therefore it has never been more critical to plan for the eventuality of business disruption. Implementing robust disaster management measures to project a business and its financial assets is a necessity ahead of any business decisions. Our consultants are well versed in the emergence of contemporary issues that pose to negatively impact business growth, hence we offer impartial and sector relevant advice on all aspects of financial management and investigate commercial opportunities in varying trading environments.

Our business advisory services include:

Accountancy Services

Accurate accounting is a business-critical area that must be carried out with skill, and attention to detail, in order to minimise potential errors. The preparation of annual accounts is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects an organisation must oversee, therefore partnering with a professional consultancy to assist with tax computations and the completion of tax returns can be exceptionally beneficial. Outsourcing accountancy functions is a cost-effective option to on-board professional experience without the creation of an internal finance team.

We have long standing relationships with many of our clients, which has strengthened our ability to create transparent accountancy frameworks that support changing needs, from one year to the next. We understand the financial matters of our clients inside out, therefore can offer relevant advice on the preparation of documents and account reporting. We provide bespoke solutions for tax-efficient remunerations and identify legally compliant avenues for tax-efficient profit extraction for optimised tax relief.

Our accountancy services include:

Corporate Governance

Developing strong corporate governance that is legally compliant throughout its core principles, should be at the heart of any business strategy. It can often be a challenge for an organisation that is under time or budget restraints to effectively plan its corporate governance, therefore outsourcing this function has multiple benefits. Changes to governance requirements have significantly changed over the years, and the emphasis on detailing the responsibilities of non-executive directors has become more rigid. Kivu Logística works closely with our clients to develop strong governance frameworks that have a heightened focus on risk management and hierarchal reporting across a business.

The development of transparent corporate governance that supports an organisation promise of corporate responsibility, can be a unique selling point and ensure regulators are satisfied. A strict code of conduct associated with shareholder and management teams will ensure legal compliance is achieved and there is no confusion of duties and responsibilities. We identify existing areas of poor governance before developing governance frameworks that feed into cultural change programmes.

Our corporate governance services include:

Business Auditing

Kivu Logística provides external auditing services and proactive financial analysis that is carried out with minimal disruption to the day-to-day running of a business. External auditing will minimise occurrences of inaccuracies and offer an objective view of the financial position of a business. Of course, auditing for financial compliance is a statutory requirement, however, it should also be considered a chance to better understand financial inefficiencies across a business. The development of strategic blueprints can be designed to proactively strengthen areas that have been identified as underperforming, therefore strengthening one’s ability to make wiser and result-driven decisions.

We carry out both standard statutory auditing and internal bespoke audits, which can be considered a form of financial maintenance and identifies risks before they become business critical issues. Each of our audits conforms to regulatory guidelines and feeds into the accurate reporting of tax returns.

Our business auditing services include:

Payroll Services

Outsourcing the payroll function can offer increased peace of mind that a business is legally compliant with employment law and payroll tasks are in order. Corporations are legally responsible to ensure employees are paid, on time, accurately, and that the relevant tax and national insurance has been deducted. Developing a specialist payroll team will improve loyalty and strengthen the employer/employee relationship, therefore offers long term benefits.

Payroll management can prove to be a time-consuming process, and when carried out by employees that lack the experience or knowledge of the relevant regulations and payroll tools, mistakes can occur. Our comprehensive payroll services can be developed on an interim or continuous basis depending on the varying needs of our clients. We offer end-to-end solutions from the administration of PAYE to the development of employee incentives that are aimed at motivating employees.

Our payroll services include:

Cyber Consulting Services

It can be a daunting process attempting to navigate the many legal responsibilities and compliance issues according to specific industry standards. Partnering with a professional consultancy that can offer up-to-date and accurate advice on cybersecurity, governance, and policies can offer peace of mind and ensure maximised business security. We carry out detailed risk assessments to identify the current level of information security, its vulnerabilities, and potential risks before developing agile strategic plans that outline recommendations and preventative measures.

With an increased reliance on digital platforms and capabilities, there has been an upsurge in potential cyber threats. Not only can these sophisticated risks cause major financial loss due to business distribution, but they can also expose an organisation to possible legal repercussions had the relevant safety measures not been carried out. We combine our cyber consultancy with our cyber law and security services to achieve full coverage in all aspects of the cyber environment.

Cyber Law & Security

Increasing sophisticated cyber threats are a potential risk to any organisation that runs a business online, or relies on digital capabilities, therefore it is business-critical to understand the legal responsibilities organisations have to protect against such attacks. Our consultants carry out detailed risk evaluations across the digital landscape before creating scalable cyber and data security strategies that incorporate data privacy policies, employment practices, and meet stringent regulatory requirements.

Our team of experienced consultants can simultaneously work across multiple domiciles for international clients and have a nuanced understanding of local law. Each of our cyber law services is tailored and intuitive to the individual needs of our clients. We carefully assess the cyber security lifecycle to identify vulnerable areas that may lead to data breaches and non-compliance, before creating detailed corporate responsibility and data policies. We utilise the latest software tools that identify compromised data, in order to rectify issues before they become business critical. Developing robust cybersecurity frameworks that can be seamlessly integrated within existing IT departments will help employees to understand the technical causes and implications of cyber issues. We create updated policies and procedures, ensuring maximum visibility of the cyber landscape.
