About United Corporate Accounting and Taxation Services Ltd (UCATS)

Registered in London's Covent Garden with a delivery office in Panchkula, India, this outsourcing practice has worked in accounting since 2008, originally under a slightly different name and with a strong training element for ACCA students. It presents itself as a provider of back-office accounting to overseas companies, staffed by ACCA and chartered accountants together with senior ACCA students. The board combines a long-serving finance educator, a data and outsourcing specialist and a qualified ACCA member, supported by a small operational team covering UK taxation, management accounting, audit and financial management. Clients are described only generally as businesses across various sectors, and the site is available in English. Engagements are taken on a one-off or retainer basis, with quotations given on request rather than published rates. The offer suits foreign-owned businesses wanting a cost-conscious external team for routine accounting and compliance.
