Exchequer Solutions has joined the FCSA as an associate member, (Freelancer and Contractors Association). The FCSA is the trade association for professional employment services (including umbrella, accountancy and payroll), the association works to protect and support contractors and freelancers.
All Associates agree to adhere to the FCSA charter and self-certify to confirm their business is run by ‘fit and proper’ persons.
Our status as associate demonstrates our commitment to professionalism and compliance.
The association was formed in 2008 and remains the industry’s gold standard for service and compliance.
Operations Director, Mike Lowndes said, “By becoming associates of the FCSA we have pledged to adhere to their charter. Exchequer Solutions has always prided itself on its professionalism, compliance and high standards of service. We aren’t changing how we work but this membership does serve as independent verification to clients, employees and potential customers that we aim to meet the highest of standards.”
He added, “We are joining an elite group of organisations who believe in raising standards within our sector. There are lots of misconceptions about how umbrella companies work and we’ll be working with the FCSA and other members to try and improve understanding of our industry amongst politicians, HMRC and business leaders.”
If you are looking for peace of mind when selecting a preferred supplier or recommending an umbrella company to your contractors then our associate status should offer that assurance.
