Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented.

- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors are required to satisfy themselves that it is reasonable to presume that the Company is a going concern. After reviewing the Company's performance projections for the period of at least 12 months from the date of issue of the financial statements, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate access to resources to enable the Company to meet its obligations and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company is expected to remain the services company for the Evelyn Partners Group, and to continue to incur costs on behalf of other group undertakings, and to recharge those costs at an agreed markup. Therefore, whilst revenue may reduce in 2025 due to the sale of the Evelyn Partners Professional Services business, the Company is expected to remain profitable. The Directors have considered the net current liability position of the Company, which has reduced slightly in the year. This position arises because the Company incurs the costs of capital expenditure upfront, but recovers this through recharges to other Group entities over the useful life of the asset, as amortisation or depreciation charges are recognised. The Directors consider that the cash flows generated from services provided to other group entities will allow the Company to settle its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In May 2023, the Tilney Scheme was transferred to the Company from Evelyn Partners Securities, another subsidiary of the Group. This was not reflected in the prior year. As a result prior year comparatives have been restated to include the Tilney pension scheme.”
- “In December 2023, the NCL Scheme completed a whole scheme buy-in, whereby an insurance policy was bought to cover all future liabilities to all members of the scheme.”
- “During the year, the holding structure of parent undertakings was simplified through the amalgamation of Symmetry Topco Guernsey Limited and Violin Topco Guernsey Limited, along with a share capital reorganisation and cash redemption of certain preference shares.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
