Fluency Solutions Limited

Fluency provides centralised outsourced accounting and administrative support to international businesses operating in multiple territories.
We streamline group accounting functions into a single point of access, saving our clients considerable management time. Our systems are SOC 1 accredited meaning businesses that are governed by Sarbanes-Oxley legislation can rely upon the quality of our service.

+ Process
Our service is coordinated and managed by one central team of contacts in the UK who understand your business and speak your language. This eliminates the need for our clients to recruit and train specialist in-house accounting teams.

Consolidated financial reports are accessible through our online accounting portal which is a completely secure network so clients can be assured of the safety of their financial information. The system allows for global access to financial reports, 24 hours a day, requiring only Internet Explorer and an access token.

+ Services
Our services can be entirely tailored to individual client needs and can cover:

• Maintenance of ledgers
• Management reporting
• VAT compliance
• Payroll
• Expense management
• Foreign exchange brokerage

+ Deliverables
The reports are produced in a format that is tailored to the needs of individual clients, taking into account local accounting regulations. We can produce consolidated group reports as well as individual subsidiary reports in the local language and currency. All reports can be downloaded from Fluency’s online accounting portal and access can be controlled on a hierarchical basis.

+ Reach
Our Fluency team in the UK is supported by dedicated partner firms throughout the world. These firms are either fellow members of BKR International, our international association of independent accounting firms, or they are firms with which we have established formal partnership relationships.

BKR International is one of the top 10 global accounting associations and represents the combined strength of more than 150 independent accounting and business advisory firms in over 300 offices and 70 countries. Each firm is selected by BKR for their local influence, expertise and international capabilities.

Our history

Fluency evolved from the expertise already existing within Blick Rothenberg LLP and BRAL Limited. Blick Rothenberg is a leading, independent firm of chartered accountants that has been assisting international businesses for over 65 years.

BRAL has provided outsourced accounting and administrative support to over 1,500 businesses in its 25 years of operating. Over 90% of these businesses have been the subsidiaries of overseas owned groups. With this international capability, it was a natural progression to form Fluency and provide outsourced accounting services in territories beyond the UK.
