Client accounts financial services

Management is a core, well established business at Cluttons and we spend a great deal of time and resource on this function, updating and improving our service delivery continually which puts us at the forefront in our market area.

Our client accounts financial services team delivers the highest level of accuracy and reports to our clients in a prompt and understandable manner.

All accounting is undertaken with due regard to best practice and specifically the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Members Accounts Rules (RICS MARs), Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), Service Charge Code of Practice, Financial Services and Anti Money Laundering Regulations 2004.

In addition to offering an accounting module as part of our full asset management service, we recognise that some clients prefer to manage the day-to-day activities themselves, although would not necessarily like to get involved in the complex and  time consuming routine involved in collection of rents or payments to suppliers. With this in mind we can also offer independent accounting functionalities to assist them.
