Client audit services for accountancy firms
Your dedicated audit partner.
We are trusted by accountancy firms across the UK to deliver audit-only services to their clients.
Our team of senior auditors provide a high-quality service that, crucially, does not conflict or compete in any way with your established client relationships.
Partnering with Byrd + Link gives us the ability to offer a more all-round service to larger clients.
They made clear they wouldn't try and take any work away from us. So it's a perfect situation – they do the audit, and we carry on doing the accounting and taxation work for the client.
What drives accountancy firms to partner with us?
There are a number of ethical principles that provide a framework for the provision of audit services in the UK. In addition, it also requires an accountancy firm to commit to the continual investment in staff resources, specialist skills and training, leading many to consider their options.
Do any of these reflect your business?
- Your objectivity and independence is compromised by providing both audit and consulting/advisory services, leading to a breach of audit ethics.
- You’re able to earn higher margins by focusing resources at delivering other consulting/advisory services.
- You need to offer audit as an extension to your existing services, to help you win or retain clients, but don’t have the expertise.
- You don’t have sufficient demand for audit services to support the necessary investment and staff resource.
At Byrd + Link we have the expertise, experience and independence that provides the perfect solution.
Anybody in a small practice that feels overwhelmed by audit and keeping up with regulation – you’d be in good hands with Byrd + Link.
Partnering with them was 100% the best decision for our practice, because the freed-up resources far outweigh the potential loss we’ve faced coming out of audit.
How we can help
Audit really is all we do, with our planned, proven audit process central to ensuring every audit is completed to the highest standards.

The audits Byrd + Link have done for our clients have been pain-free – which feels like it shouldn’t really exist, but it does.
Auditors generally get quite a bad reputation, but we’ve heard no negatives or complaints from clients at all. It feels like a collaboration.
They’re communicative, responsive, and stick to agreed timelines and scope. That makes our lives easier and the clients are a lot happier too – it’s a win-win.

Byrd + Link give you peace of mind that your client's going to be looked after the way you would look after them.
For us, it’s a lot about relationships and trust, and when I hand off a client relationship, I need to know my client gets the same high-level experience. That's 100% something they get from Byrd + Link.
Partnering with Byrd + Link is an absolute no-brainer if you're an accountant running a small practice. They understand your clients and just get on with it very efficiently. They were also incredibly flexible when we needed to turn an audit around quickly. It's great to have a relationship where you can pick up the phone and speak honestly and frankly with somebody who gets it.
The big vendors don’t have that personal touch, and one quoted four times what Byrd + Link did. They're just good people. And I like good people.
