WHAT MAKES VABK DIFFERENT
Five things that separate VABK from a general accountant.
1. Construction specialism — built in, not bolted on
CIS, domestic reverse charge VAT, gross payment status, contracting cash flow — we understand these at a process level. Most generalist accountants encounter them occasionally. We handle them every week for over 200 construction clients. The difference shows.
2. Complex tax access at small practice rates
VABK works in partnership with specialist tax consultants to support complex advisory work. This means IHT planning, business exit structuring, HMRC investigation support, and R&D credits are available through VABK — not via a referral to a firm you've never met. Same trusted contact. Specialist knowledge behind it.
3. Multilingual-speaking team
For Romanian, Russian & Albanian speaking business owners in the UK, working in your first language with someone who understands your background matters. Our team is bilingual. HMRC correspondence, Companies House filings, tax advice — explained clearly, in Romanian or English, without anything getting lost.
4. Proactive, not reactive
We contact you when something needs your attention — not when it's already overdue. Director pay reviews happen annually, not when you ask. MTD deadlines are managed before they arrive. CIS compliance is monitored month by month. You should never receive an HMRC penalty letter that we didn't already know about.
5. One point of contact
Maria manages every client relationship. You speak to the same person who understands your history, knows your structure, and filed your last return. You are not a ticket number.
