FAZ Chartered Accountants

About FAZ Chartered Accountants

Established in 2016 in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, this practice is led by a director who qualified with the ICAI in India before joining the ICAEW in the UK. It serves small and mid-sized businesses, new ventures and not-for-profit bodies, and lists overseas traders and import-export businesses among the sectors it covers. The site does not present a specific programme for non-resident clients, so the offer is essentially a general UK accountancy service with company formation and secretarial support attached. A particular selling point is help with tax penalties, late-filing fines and HMRC investigations, where the firm reports a perfect record in appeals. It won an Outstanding Finance Business award from the Asian Business Chamber of Commerce in 2022. The website is in English and no other languages are named.
