Welcome to HURST's International Business Section

From our headquarters in Manchester, the United Kingdom's second city, we serve a broad range of industries including Oil, Manufacturing, Service, Automotive, Aerospace, Pharmaceuticals/chemicals, Food manufacture, and Shipping & transportation.

Our international clients include JCB, Carphone Warehouse, Oliver Valves, Central Glass Europe, Harsco (HSC), Rotex, Teradyne (TER) and many more. These clients tell us they value our international expertise and project management skills, delivering on time and on budget:

“Their ‘hands on’ approach keeps us well informed and removes the hassle of what can otherwise be a time consuming process”
– Teradyne Diagnostic Solutions Ltd

“We were keen to build a relationship with a firm of accountants and advisors that will take an active interest in our business and provide outstanding service. The fact that HURST has experience in international tax work, in particular in the US, will be particularly advantageous to us.”
- J2 Retail Systems

"They have taken the burden of our IOM tax compliance away from us, whilst keeping us fully informed of progress so that we have peace of mind as well as time to concentrate on other things.”
- Carphone Warehouse plc

HURST has been internationally active since the mid 90s as our client base grew to include leading entrepreneurial businesses who were looking overseas towards expansion. We believe that we are unique in our approach - project managing pan global projects and putting our own people in on the ground to best serve our clients. This approach has attracted other accountancy firms to us and we now serve a number of US based firms who utilise our project management skills and experienced staff to manage European projects on their behalf.

Central to our proposition to serve international clients is our team. We are privileged to have a number of ex-Big 4 international experts on our staff, and everyone at HURST has an international outlook. We regularly despatch staff at all levels to undertake international assignments and we also host international secondees at our headquarters. Over the past few months we have worked on assignment in Belgium, China, The United States, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovakia, Portugal, Singapore, Spain and the Netherlands.
