Fidentia was formed in 2008 by Alpha Insurance Analysts Limited (Alpha) and Duncan & Toplis Limited to provide a one-stop administration, accounts, tax and audit service for LLPs and Namecos underwriting at Lloyd's.
Fidentia works closely with Alpha to provide a timely and efficient management operation to run alongside the Members' Agent and advisory services provided to members of Lloyd's by Alpha. As with Alpha, our objective is to set a new benchmark for service in this area, exceeding that experienced by underwriting members in the past.
We look after several entities who retain a Members’ Agent other than Alpha. Fidentia does not look after any Scottish Limited Partnerships.
At our disposal, Fidentia have the accounting and tax expertise of Duncan & Toplis, with over 40 years’ experience of dealing with Lloyd’s Members.
Independent audit will be provided by Humprey & Co Audits Services Limited, who have many years of experience of Lloyd’s. By virtue of having to prepare accounts under schedule 3 of the Companies Act 2006, LLPs and Namecos at Lloyd’s are not able to take advantage of audit exemptions available to small companies: the audit therefore is compulsory. Where an LLV is owned >50% by a corporate entity then group audited accounts are required. Please contact Chris Bradford for advice on consolidated accounts.
Preparation of tax returns for persons other than the underwriting LLP or Nameco is not included, but Duncan & Toplis will be happy to provide quotations for these, together with any ad hoc tax advice that members and/or the LLP/Nameco may require on an individual basis.
