ESTATE PLANNING Estate planning demands a detailed appreciation of the circumstances of each client and the flexibility to respond to their wishes. Our emphasis on client relationships has enabled us to build a considerable reputation in this area. Regular reviews of the estate and detailed illustrative calculations of potential liabilities keep our clients aware of opportunities available to them, while our international focus allows us to advise clients with assets in multiple jurisdictions. Frequent discussions with the client and the client’s family ensure that we are aware of their wishes as they develop and can act in their best interests. For UK connected clients, the inheritance regime provides excellent opportunities to plan estates and protect family wealth through the use of lifetime gifts, trusts, family limited partnerships and careful consideration of wills. Our expertise in tax planning means that we are an excellent choice for clients wishing to draft their wills in a tax efficient manner. Our partners are also experienced in acting as executors, alone or with family members or lawyers. We have all the necessary experience to deal with the administration of the estate, from the initial application for probate to the final distribution. The close relationships we build up with our clients mean that we can deal effectively with any sensitive family issues that arise. Our Specialists

Reporting and maintaining your results is only one part of what is really required. Traditional bookkeeping is historical based, looking at results compared to market, or reporting annual, quarterly or monthly performance. PLANNING & FORECASTING Reporting and maintaining your results is only one part of what is really required. Traditional bookkeeping is historical based, looking at results compared to market, or reporting annual, quarterly or monthly performance. But a huge part of a true CFO Function must be forward looking for it to add real value to your business. Preparing a budget should not just be based on your previous year actuals, then accounting for inflation. A “bottom-up” budget should always be done, and using Rawlinson & Hunter Singapore, we will provide an in depth analysis of your cost base, market conditions, business plans, cash, customer and financing position to ensure that a realistic, target driven budget is prepared. We are a partner for the long term, and will advise and assist in the coming years to help you achieve, and exceed this target. A traditional budget will only get you one or two years into the future. The critical difference between those companies that do well and those that excel is that the majority have a 5 or 10 year plan. Rawlinson & Hunter Singapore is uniquely placed to work with you and your team to understand where you want to be in 5 and 10 years time, how you want to get there, and build an innovative solution to achieve this goal.
