COMPANY HISTORY

Our practice was established in 2018, and we pride ourselves in providing our clients with high-quality deliverables and outstanding personal service for the past 4 years. Operating a service business is perceived by many as a difficult task due to the vast diversity of people and characters involved at both customer and personnel levels. We, at Artius Audit, tend to disagree with this view as we take pride in our practice being human-centred and client-oriented with our primary goal set to be the utmost satisfaction of our clients which translates to value-added services, transparent business and billing practices as well as unparalleled client care.

Providing good service means taking the time to listen. We will work with you every step of the way to make sure you receive the services you need. Our modus operandi is focused on devising a bespoke and unique approach for each and every one of our clients in order to better understand each business, its inner mechanisms, and its potential to grow and prosper. We do not believe that an audit should be a robotical, checklist-ticking exercise. What we believe is that an audit firm should capitalize on the insight obtained by auditing a company in terms of sharing with the shareholders valuable findings that could benefit the company spherically and aid it in achieving its targets whether these are maximising shareholders’ wealth, expansion, or an exit strategy.

We hope you will find the information you need on this site about our practice and the services we provide. We look forward to working with you and gaining your interminable trust.
