Tell Us About Paul Beare Limited

Paul Beare Limited is a leading accountancy practice specialising in providing expert guidance and support for organisations worldwide on how to establish and maintain a successful UK presence. Our team of over 30 professional staff provides overseas organisations with all the knowledge to set up and operate a UK business, acting as a one-stop shop for services such as legal, accountancy, tax, banking and payroll.

Founded in 2015, we offer a comprehensive, reliable, thorough and professional service that explains everything organisations need to consider – including unknown unknowns – helping them avoid potentially costly fines for breaching rules. This helps organisations save time and money by getting it right first time.

Over the past ten years we have developed our service offering to include UK entity formation, payroll registration compliance and ongoing reporting, VAT compliance, immigration sponsor licences and opening UK bank accounts – a process that can be particularly challenging for non-UK based companies. Our team acts as trusted advisors, and we pride ourselves on building lasting client relationships, offering a single, trusted point of contact for all their needs.

What Gap Has Paul Beare Limited Filled In the Market?

We specialise in helping overseas-owned businesses establish and thrive in the UK. Although most accounting firms can support our target clients, the difference with us is that we focus on targeting overseas-owned entities, who often experience particular challenges in entering the UK market, and not UK-domiciled shareholders.

Every client benefits from a dedicated Relationship Manager who provides personalised guidance, supported by our expert accounting and bookkeeping teams. From choosing the right entity and opening bank accounts to ongoing compliance and strategic advisory, we deliver a seamless experience – partnering with clients every step of the way to ensure sustainable growth.

How Has Paul Beare Limited Evolved Or Scaled Throughout 2025, and What Milestones Stand Out From This Year?

In November, we held our annual two-day gathering , which is always a wonderful opportunity to catch up with the team and meet new arrivals. It’s the only time of the year where we all get together company-wide, in person. For some, apart from video calls, the team haven’t met one another previously.

In 2025 we celebrated our 10th birthday, so it was fantastic to get the teams together under the same roof to discuss the company and its future and to socialise.

We continued to add prestigious clients from a wide range of sectors to our client list, as well as trusted partners to complement our service offerings from other financial disciplines.

What Are Your Strategic Priorities for 2026, and How Do You Plan To Build On Your Current Momentum?

To be the premier UK accountancy firm for global businesses, by demonstrating industry standard excellence in the UK market entry and expansion. We also want to deepen our relationship with clients, to work closely with them as they grow. Whether that’s guiding them through the process of hiring new talent, understanding their financing options or dealing with the inevitable red tape that comes as their business grows, we want to be with them every step of the way.

What Can We Look Forward To Seeing from Paul Beare Limited in 2026?

Well, the usual excellent client service, but I think this year will also see us look to further develop our already extensive service offering. We’ll do that by staying plugged in to the market to see how the economy and landscape is evolving, but most importantly, we’ll be listening to our clients to make sure we’re keeping up with their changing needs.
