Why Choose Gravita?
We stick to deadlines.
Our approach ensures that potential overruns are managed effectively, with minimal disruption to your team and no compromise on the quality of the audit. We invest more partner time in audit planning and kick-off so you can be confident we will deliver to plan and timings. This includes accounting for significant risk areas and aligning on the overall approach.
We are efficient and technically rigorous.
Our approach ensures quality through rigorous technical standards in the areas of risk, sampling, judgement and review. We also understand the opportunity cost of your time and prioritise efficiency. Therefore, we use collaborative tech to ensure the whole team is on the same page. They’re also trained to be focused on the areas of your business that bring you the most value and spend less time on areas that do not.
We make switching auditors easy.
Our use of tech means you can expect seamless onboarding and a successful transition between auditors. We streamline the implementation process by working with your previous provider, and quite often have team members who have prior experience working with new Gravita clients. We use digital solutions to stay streamlined so you can focus on doing what you do best.
I never feel that an audit is particularly burdensome with Gravita. As a rapidly growing company facing many complex challenges, I expected it to be hard, but it’s been incredibly straightforward. We’ve just finished our latest audit, and our team had some resourcing issues but the Gravita team worked around us and it was so smooth with no problems.
I think anyone looking for an experienced team of accountants that feels like a big firm but has a friendly approach should seriously consider using Gravita. abc
An outsider’s view on your inner workings
We get it. An annual audit can be a burden – sapping time, energy and money. And it’s true that an inefficient audit, with inexperienced auditors, can be painful. That’s why our experts use their huge breadth of knowledge and years of experience combined with technology to make the process as efficient as possible.
Whether you’re a small team of two or an AIM listed business, we’ll deliver a high-quality and independent audit. Our services include voluntary and statutory audits, as well as other assurance services. As an ICAEW regulated auditor, we have experience conducting audits for all sizes and types of business across a broad range of sectors. With a trusted, tried-and-tested process, you can guarantee an audit will add real value – and can be a powerful tool for internal and external stakeholder management.
What's the process for an audit?
1. We define a strategy
Once we understand your objectives and business procedures, our experts then tailor an audit approach to you.
2. Planning
In accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) we adopt a risk-based approach to audit and prioritise resources where they’ll deliver the greatest benefit. Our specialists will assess the key day-to-day risks faced by your business and consider how these could impact on the financial statements – then plan their audit process accordingly.
3. Fieldwork
Next, it’s time to gather as much information as possible in detail. We can perform this remotely or at your premises, whichever you prefer – we like to give our clients the choice. This can be asking questions, running tests or collecting samples. Once we have everything we need, we’ll be in contact, keeping things as simple and efficient as possible.
4. Communication and reporting
Our experts thrive off clear and open conversation. That’s why throughout the entire audit process, they’ll maintain regular communication and keep you up-to-date with regulatory developments or changes that could affect your business.

If your company meets the Companies Act criteria for a statutory audit, our experts can deliver the necessary review of your accounts efficiently in line with statutory requirements. They’ll also highlight new opportunities and identify improvements to your business processes. It will add value and could also win the trust of your customers, investors and stakeholders.
When you choose to go through an audit process voluntarily, you send a strong signal to potential lenders and investors about your credibility. You’ll get the same benefits as statutory clients, but with greater value as your business strives towards growth. Plus, when your business grows to a size where an audit becomes statutory, your accounts will already be in the best possible shape.
