The Firm
The firm was founded in Limassol in 2004 by Christos S. Christodoulou. Within just a few years it became a professional reference of what the accountancy profession in Cyprus had to offer. Our achievements are mainly credited to the dedication and commitment of our people who are highly skilled professionals, genuinely caring about our clients. They are also credited to our vision in combination with the principles and ethics that guide us.
In the year 2005, the firm became the first accounting, auditing firm outside the United Kingdom and Ireland, winning a global award for quality, issued by ACCA. By applying international practices for professional services and operations as required by ACCA, the firm was presented with the ACCA Quality Checked award, being the first firm to achieve this since the award went global. Moreover, the firm was awarded again by ACCA and ICPAC with Quality Checked Awards in 2013. During the year 2015, ACCA and ICPAC have discontinued their Quality Checked program and they do not offer the Quality Checked Award to their members anymore.
Moreover, the firm has been presented with many other awards, honors and appointments, i.e. Auditors of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Cyprus (ICPAC), the Gold Approved Employer status by ACCA and others. In 2019, the firm has passed successfully its third consecutive monitoring visit by ACCA and ICPAC, not only for its auditing and other professional services but also for its AML compliance with the local laws and European Directives.

Our Contribution to the business society in Cyprus
During our firm’s history we made sure to have a systematic connection with the business community of Cyprus. This is our commitment for the future. Either through our professional appointments, or through free educational seminars and presentations that we organise for the business community, we always transfer our knowledge and experience to our clients and to all enterprises in general. After all, the evolution of the economic-financing- tax environment, not just in our country but globally, requires, not only the professionals, but the management of each business, to be alert and have a continuous professional development and education.
Through our experience and our continuous involvement with business matters, we offer the necessary education and alerts so as to avoid mistakes and comply with the relevant legislations and secure, through best practises, the minimum exposure to taxes and maximise the profitability of an enterprise.
