About Us

Buzzacott is a passionately independent and growing professional services firm. We are based in the City of London, with a satellite office in Hong Kong.

We are partner led and focused on people – our team and our clients. We combine market leading sector expertise and excellent service capability to provide exceptional service in our chosen markets.

Team Overview

Our Company Secretarial team forms part of the wider Business Services team, who provide a wide range of professional services to clients including bookkeeping, management accounts, statutory accounts, regulatory reporting to the FCA, VAT advice and returns, and payroll services. Due to the nature of our work, we also collaborate strongly with the tax team.

Our trusted team of 5 provide high-quality company secretarial services to a growing client base that ranges from charities to private clients, start-ups and household names. Our expertise is invaluable as we support our clients throughout their lifespan – from formation all the way to winding up.

Our team is at various stages of their corporate governance careers, from those in their 3rd year to others with over 17 years of experience - and everything in between. As a result, you’ll be part of a team that can offer guidance and support throughout every stage of your career and learning journey.
