It is a legal requirement that the majority of services that operate in the financial sector including Accountants and Bookkeepers are trained and registered for Anti-Money Laundering with a supervising body in order to ensure compliance and best practice.

​

For this reason please do not be offended if as part of working with Olive Tree Bookkeeping we ask you for ID and some sensitive questions relating to you and your business.  

​

If you run a fully legal business then there is nothing to worry about and we are happy to help with any questions or concerns you may have along the way.

​

Money laundering isn't just about YOU but also about customers and third parties that you may also deal with in your day to day business activities. These can sometimes be structured in a deliberate manner to obscure their activities.

​

If you have any concerns regarding money laundering, fraud or tax avoidance you can contact HMRC or Companies House.
