Who We Are

Accordance was founded in 2005, in response to Europe’s rapidly changing VAT situation. Our aim is to simplify the experience of cross-border VAT for businesses trading in Europe through a policy of practical engagement with our clients and their indirect tax issues.

Our operating principles:

  • Practicality: Commercial, pragmatic, common sense solutions that make sense of the complexity of international VAT.
  • Engagement: An active, connected, professional and friendly style of client service.
  • Coordination: To operate as a single coordination point for Compliance and Consulting across the EU.
  • Innovation: To develop our unique combined Compliance & Consulting and Direct Contact  approaches, add value and improve service.
  • Progressive Management: A forward looking and open approach to management practices, policy and strategy.
  • Responsibility: Balancing clients’ international tax obligations with their commercial needs.

It is essential for multi-territory businesses to receive expert and credible VAT advice. We have for several years been assisting a full spectrum of international businesses better manage cross-border VAT costs – through the rationalisation of registration profiles; the pinpointing of previously unrecognised recoverable VAT; the analysis of reverse charge options (and consequent elimination of unnecessary cross-border VAT claims); the analysis and updating of ERP VAT coding; and the provision of ongoing compliance support.

We reach across Europe, but manage all work from an accessible and responsive hub in the UK. Accordance is a unified VAT Compliance and Consulting practice, with a focus on cross-border transactions. We provide practical, commercially beneficial VAT assistance to companies across the EU and beyond.
