Established in 2009, Charter Tax has a wealth of experience in tax, accounting and financial advice. From their offices in central London and Kent, they work with clients not just across the south east, but across the globe.

The Brief

Before SmartSearch, Charter Tax were using a system which they felt offered little information, leading to lengthy and onerous processes to verify their clients.

The Solution

Charter Tax were using multiple sources to collect the information they needed and manually performing enhanced due diligence when coming across potential PEPs and Sanctions. The whole process was hugely time-consuming and inefficient. Now they use SmartSearch to quickly identify the company, directors, beneficial owners, and gather all the background information they need within a couple of minutes. SmartSearch has helped to streamline their AML processes and save them both time and money in the process.

The Results

• One centralised system
• Improved efficiencies
• Streamlined internal processes

"After an extensive review of multiple providers, we decided on SmartSearch for our AML procedures as it was the best platform we had seen and offered everything we need to ensure we are fully compliant."
