Elixir Audits, Chartered Accountants

I need assurance

Audit and Assurance

An opinion a lender, a regulator or a board will accept, delivered by a partner who was in the fieldwork.

Explore Audit and Assurance

Statutory audit is the work most clients come to us for, and it is where the firm's reputation sits. We plan backwards from your reporting deadline, issue the document request list at planning, and hold a readiness call before fieldwork opens. Where the deadline is tight we put more people on the engagement rather than letting the date move.

What is included

Who leads
A partner and a manager, named
Timeline
Two to six weeks of fieldwork
Fee basis
Fixed, quoted before we start
02

I need to stay compliant

Tax

Compliance handled quietly, and a position you could defend if somebody tested it. Led by Michael Siaw Larbi, Partner, Tax and Advisory.

Explore Tax

Most tax exposure in Ghana starts with ordinary obligations filed late or at the wrong rate, compounding until an officer arrives and asks for four years of records at once. We take the compliance off your desk, then look at whether the position itself is defensible, which is the work that changes numbers rather than tidying them.

What is included

Who leads
Partner and tax manager
Response
Same day where a deadline is set
Fee basis
Retainer or fixed fee
03

I need to grow or decide

Advisory

Work you commission because a decision is pending, and the decision is worth more than the fee.

Explore Advisory

A price, a purchase, a restructure, a growth plan or a control that keeps failing. The output is not a filing, it is an answer with the reasoning attached. Every engagement is scoped in phases with a deliverable at the end of each, so you can act on the first and decline the rest.

What is included

Who leads
A partner throughout
Timeline
Three to eight weeks
Fee basis
Fixed fee per phase
04

I need a finance team

Accounting and People

The finance function run properly, without the hiring. For businesses under about thirty people that are not ready to hire a finance team.

Explore Accounting and People

Management accounts by working day five, statutory compliance handled without you thinking about it, and somebody senior to call when the decision is bigger than the bookkeeping. We run a full parallel month before going live, so nothing is lost in the handover.

What is included

Who leads
A named manager, partner reviewed
Onboarding
Four to six weeks
Fee basis
Fixed monthly fee

How we work

Four things you can hold us to

These apply to every engagement, in every practice.

01A partner on the work

The partner who wins the engagement stays on it, from planning through to signing. Named in the proposal, in the fieldwork, and at the clearance meeting.

02A fee agreed in advance

Scope, timing and a fixed fee before any work starts, held unless the scope changes.

03Your deadline, not ours

We plan backwards from your board meeting, facility review or donor cycle. Where the date is tight we add people rather than moving it.

04The unwelcome answer

When the numbers say something you would rather not hear, you will hear it, and you will hear it early enough to act on.

Independence

We will tell you what we cannot do for you.

Some combinations are not permitted. We cannot audit accounts we prepared, and we cannot design a control and then opine on whether it operates. Every engagement is assessed for independence before we accept it, and you will hear about a conflict before you commit rather than halfway through.

Where a conflict rules us out We will say so before you have spent time on a proposal and, where it helps, point you to a firm better placed.
