About CEA Audit (C. Efstathiou Audit Ltd)

Directed by Demos Nicolaides, a former Big Four professional and ICAEW fellow, this Nicosia audit and accounting practice holds an ICPAC practising certificate and describes itself as serving both local and international clients across a range of industries. Alongside him, a second director with international tax planning and valuation experience and several long-serving managers make up the team shown online. The practice combines audit, accounting, tax, corporate finance and valuations with specialist pages on Cyprus trusts, investment firm compliance, loan restructuring and HR outsourcing. A notable part of the offer is immigration support for non-EU nationals, foreign-owned companies and digital nomads, including information on visas, residence permits and family reunification. The website is in English only, shows no published fees and lists no additional offices. The firm does not describe a company incorporation service of its own.
