International

We understand how globalisation is impacting businesses, organisations and individuals.

A trusted, local partner for international investors and HNW private clients.

We’re proud to be one of two co-founders and co-owners of MSI Global Alliance – the 8th largest global professional alliance, providing us direct access to local specialists in over 100 countries. Whilst MSI Global Alliance has more than 17,000 people worldwide, we understand that some of our clients have their own local connections, and our independence means we have the flexibility to also work with local firms chosen by our clients.

The UK remains a global business hub and an attractive jurisdiction for foreign direct investment. As a leading London-based firm, HaysMac offers expertise to international businesses and investors that are looking to expand their interests. For example, we offer advisory services to investors from the US, Asia, The Middle East and across Europe, in relation to M&A, global restructuring, international expansion and deepening their understanding of the UK market. 

Our high-net-worth (HNW) private clients invariably have international interests. Many are not UK domiciled and look to HaysMac for support with their personal tax affairs or to guide them through an international property or business acquisition.   

Why HaysMac?

Tax, audit, structuring and transactions for both inbound and outbound companies

Businesses often partner with HaysMac when they reach a certain scale and need a firm with the services and expertise to support their growing international presence. Through strategic recruitment, we have assembled a team that offers valuable experience in working for large international clients – and always with the personable service that our firm is known for.  

We offer global audits for leading businesses that are headed in the UK and have significant interests overseas, and for international organisations that own important assets and businesses in the UK. We have strong experience working as group auditor or as a component auditor of a wider group.   

Our sector specialism naturally lends itself to expertise in international markets

Fast-growing clients in the creative, media, marketing, technology, fintech and retail sectors typically look to ‘go global’ early in their growth journey – often expanding into the US, Asia (via Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong), mainland Europe and the Middle East. We are adept at advising on their progress and guiding them through international expansion, M&A or global audits.  

Our experts in tax structuring help UK clients – especially in the technology sector – achieve a seamless ‘Delaware Flip’ that will turbo charge their growth into lucrative US markets. We also assist fast-growth businesses in expanding their global presence through dual listings on the London Stock Exchange, alongside other global stock markets. 

MSI Global Alliance gives clients access to local firms worldwide

Our advantage in international markets stems from our ownership of MSI Global Alliance (MSI), a leading international association of 250 local accountancy and law firms across more than 100 countries, that was co-founded by HaysMac, with firms hand-picked for being the best at what they do.

MSI in numbers

  • 8th largest professional alliance globally

  • Active in 100+ countries

  • $2bn revenue globally

Tax jurisdictions

For clients in the property and financial services sectors, we are accustomed to working with tax jurisdictions such as Jersey, Guernsey, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands (BVI). We are also experienced in helping private clients navigate the complex non-dom rules in the UK.

A trusted partner

We allow clients to focus on doing what they do best – making investment decisions – while we provide local knowledge with local expertise.Our concierge-style service helps take care of the complexities of entering a new market, acting as a valuable gatekeeper to the UK and providing support along the path to deal completion or business incorporation – and beyond."
