To achieve our corporate mission objectives, Maksim Consultants infuses the following operational values and strategies into our daily operations:

Fairness

Terms and conditions are agreed upfront and adhered to. Rules are clear, and there are no exceptions to the rules;

At Maksim Consultants, everybody is treated the same. There is no special treatment for some staff or for some clients;

We encourage our staff to voice their opinions openly and freely.

Integrity

We pride ourselves on having no hidden agendas, and being open and transparent to staff, our clients, and our suppliers;

Being open and up front about who we are, how we work, what our clients can expect from us, and what we expect from our clients. This helps in minimizing unwanted surprises and sets out expectations for all parties;

We are open and transparent about our fees before an engagement starts. Our policy is to quote all fees up front, so our client is 100% clear on costs at all times, thus making strategic decisions easier;

Being open and transparent during and after an engagement. Maksim Consultants acts as a legal company secretary and nominee director/shareholder for the vast majority of our clients. With this legal role, comes great responsibilities and trust. Our business depends on our clients and we do not provide any such actions which would jeopardize our relationship with them;

We trust ourselves in doing the right thing when it comes to decision making for our clients.

Partnership

We ensure that our firm’s doors are always open for our clients, to foster trust and a feeling of partnership;

Our staff feels they are valuable;

We recognize the differences in our people and respect and entertain their different ways of doing things.

Make decisions/empowerment

We empower our staff to decide on a responsible, professional course of action to be taken;

In return, clients trust our staff to make the right decisions;

Our staff are not micromanaged;

Our capabilities are recognized, and we reward responsibility.

High standards/professionalism

We are professional in how the business looks and what we do. This includes the website, email formats, the way we communicate with clients, and our image;

Minimizing inconvenience to our clients. During the course of most engagements we come up against administrative obstacles and tax and accounting problems. Our work is geared towards providing creative, legal workaround solutions to challenges;

Communication

We aim to constantly communicate with our clients, providing daily email status updates. In summary, ensuring our client does not need to pick up the phone to check on the status of an engagement;

We make it easy for our clients and potential clients to contact us. All of our group websites contain clear telephone numbers and a messaging function where you can speak directly to a senior executive of the company, not a menu of options, to get the vital information you need quickly. We do not believe in impersonal email contact forms;

Proud of where we work

We aim to achieve the values of the organization;

When we meet with friends we are proud of where we work, our job role, what we give to the business, and the business brand;

Every morning and every Sunday evening, we look forward to going to work. We do not dread the day ahead.

Safe haven for employees

Employees can come and work here and have a place of self development;

People are recognized for making a difference. Staff feel important to the organization;

People are rewarded for their contribution to the organization and know what the rewards will be based on;

Ensuring that our staff have lives outside the office, outside the corporate culture. We encourage them to play sport, socialize, and spend time with their families, so they are refreshed when they come to work;

Unconventional

Taking an unconventional approach to our business and our clients to differentiate ourselves from the crowd. We are not scared to recommend bold alternative strategies to our clients if we feel they may be of benefit and are a professional, legal solution. Many of our existing clients comment that they appreciate this entrepreneurial spirit, surprising our clients with the ‘wow’ factor. We are good at what we do and we feel proud to showcase our capabilities to our clients as we complete their engagements smoothly and efficiently with minimal disruption to their businesses and lives. We like to think that in every engagement we are able to surpass our client’s expectations.

The company is progressive and growing in the right ways. The company is forging new grounds.

It is important for us that our clients’ are aware of their personal and corporate tax obligations in their country of residence and domicile; and they fulfill those obligations annually. Let us know if you need Maksim Consultants’ help to clarify your annual reporting obligations.
