Every FCA return, company filing and tax return is handled accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions execution-only brokers, advisory dealers and brokerage firm owners ask about specialist accounting.
How is dealing commission income tracked?
Commission earned per trade or as a percentage of value is recognised when the transaction settles. Tracking revenue by service type separates execution, advisory and discretionary income for clearer analysis.
What are CASS compliance requirements?
FCA CASS rules require strict segregation of client money from firm funds with daily reconciliation. Audits are mandatory and your accounts must demonstrate full compliance with client asset protection rules.
How is capital adequacy reported?
Brokerage firms must maintain minimum capital resources under MIFIDPRU rules. Regular reporting to the FCA confirms your firm holds adequate capital. Falling below requirements triggers immediate regulatory action.
Are market data costs tax deductible?
Yes. Bloomberg terminals, Reuters feeds, LSE market data subscriptions, trading platform licences and compliance software are all allowable business expenses that reduce your taxable profits directly.
What FCA returns do stockbrokers file?
Stockbrokers submit regulatory returns including financial reporting, transaction reports under MiFIR and annual CASS audit reports. Meeting each deadline avoids penalties and maintains your FCA authorisation.
Can ABM support stockbrokers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves stockbrokers across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to execution-only, advisory and discretionary brokerage firms.
