Providing solutions for your business in the UK and the CIS
Understanding
As well as tax, accounting and financial
expertise, our teams have an in-depth
understanding of the culture and customs
of CIS businesses and people. We use this
to provide both local and cross-border
solutions to our clients.
Quality
A number of our CIS-based staff have
ACCA, ACA or CPA qualifications, making
our ratio of internationally qualified staff
amongst the highest of all international
firms in the CIS region.
Relationships
Client relationships are key to everything
we do. It allows us to understand both you
and your business, which in turn means we
are able to provide bespoke assistance and
advice. And working with people fluent in
your language will help.
Breadth
While size is never a substitute for quality,
it ensures we have the scope to provide our
clients with all the solutions and expertise
they require, wherever they chose to do
business. Our services to CIS clients extend,
therefore, beyond the delivery of compliance
services to advising on international business
structures and personal tax issues for
non-domiciles.
Over the last 20 years, Moore Stephens
has been active in the CIS countries and
amongst the Russian-speaking community
in the UK. Moore Stephens first became
involved in Russia in 1989, assisting a
major state company with its restructuring
programme. Then in 1991 we became the
first firm to carry out the audit of a Russian
enterprise to International Standards on
Auditing. We have seen our expertise and
clients in both Russia and the UK grow
considerably since and now serve clients
from 11 offices in Russia, Ukraine and
Azerbaijan and 34 in the UK.
Today, Moore Stephens provide solutions to
entities and individuals throughout the UK
and the CIS, with our UK and CIS qualified
accountants working together. This enables
us to provide international and local
solutions to entities in the CIS, CIS owned
subsidiaries based in the UK as well as
nationals of CIS countries now operating
in the UK.
What makes us different?Integration
We are used to co-ordinating multi-
jurisdiction assignments, where several
Moore Stephens member firms interact as
part of a combined team. Wherever you or
your business is located, you will receive a
consistent service.
International businesses are demanding more from their operations and service providers than ever before. They want the right solution, at the right time and in the right location – and communicated in a language they understand. This is where Moore Stephens LLP and Moore Stephens CIS can help.

“Today, Moore Stephens provide solutions to Russian entities and individuals throughout the UK and the CIS.“
Client case studiesListing on UK markets
We advised an Anglo-Russian mining
company with interests in the Far East of
Russia, when it decided to list on AIM, and
later on its move to the Main Market of the
London Stock Exchange. The Vladivostok,
Moscow and London offices provided
seamless audit, tax and reporting
accountant services.
Accounting support for dispute
resolution
We advised a Russian entrepreneur on
various warranty claims following the sale of
a major Russian retail chain. Bilingual staff
ensured smooth communication between
legal advisors in London and the team
working on the evidence in Moscow. We
helped provide information and arguments
that supported the client’s position and, as
a consequence, the matter was resolved
without the need for court hearings.
Setting up a subsidiary in Russia
We were appointed to advise a medium-
sized UK business on its plans to establish
a new subsidiary in Russia. The teams in
Moscow and London advised on the most
appropriate operating structure for its
circumstances and the relevant tax and
corporate regulations.
Personal tax advice
We provided tax advice to a businessman
in Russia, of joint British and Canadian
nationality, in planning for his retirement and
the education of his children, both of which
were likely to involve him spending time in
the UK. We provide similar advice to
hundreds of Russian and CIS nationals.
