OUR STORY

Innovation and cutting edge may not be words usually associated with the world of accounting but are two of the defining characteristics that we aspire towards and which we believe single Affiniax Partners out of the pack.

The Affiniax team are experienced accounting and business advisory professionals with extensive experience in the UK and Global markets whilst being early adopters and drivers of change in a rapidly evolving modern market. Appreciating the changes being brought by the effect of evolving technology and having the agility to adapt and adopt modern tools and practices, we ensure the businesses we work with are able to maximise their potential for profit and growth.

The Affiniax approach is to work in collaboration with you as your advisor to provide real value. By understanding your goals and vision we are able to apply our unique insights and expertise to help you achieve them.

PROGRESSION THROUGH BALANCE

We add value as a business partner rather than simply confirming the numbers shown are correct and will do far more than rubber stamp your existing processes.

Affiniax listens to you and understands your concerns and challenges and proactively seeks to offer the best advice and solutions. These are tailored specifically for you by combining a logical objective approach with subjective intuition gleaned from years of practical experience.

We are never satisfied with standing still and actively explore new and exciting avenues in a culture of constant evolution. Affiniax embraces change as progress and takes responsibility for adapting as well as driving it.

Above all, we are transparent and honest with you and look to foster a long term relationship. We provide continual support that will keep you ahead of the curve of constant change and to use it to your best advantage.

WHY CHOOSE US

Even in the relatively short span of the last decade, the environment for business has boomed and slumped in unpredictable fashion. Companies with the foresight and agility to adapt whilst having the best support have still managed to thrive. That support comes in the form of genuine advisors who have a deep understanding of your industry as well as your individual business.

Affiniax offers outstanding professional expertise with a local team of over 70 multi-national advisors who focus on delivering absolute value to your business. The combination of exceptional personalised service and the technical savvy to adopt and develop new tools and methods makes Affiniax a formidable partner.
