From Nimble Start-up to A-List Advisors
Childhood friends Richard Rosenberg and Laurence Finger share a brother-like bond. Setting up SRLV together in the late 80s, the essence of a family-run business was in the DNA from day one.
People were always at the heart of SRLV. The relationships of trust and collaboration we share with them were, and still are, at the very core of everything we do – whether with clients, our network of referrers, peers or staff.
Our whole ethos has been of a family business.
We’re a bigger, ‘Professionalised’ organisation now where excellence is paramount, but we also want to be a happy, nurturing place too.

SRLV Today
Today we’re a mid-tier firm of chartered accountants, business management specialists and corporate and private client advisors. The business has bloomed through organic growth and strategic acquisition to a 180-strong staff across four divisions working worldwide. Yet our ethos is unchanged. An impeccable, highly personalised service and approach puts clients at the centre; people and relationships come first. Excellence is everything.
Key Facts
Our Clients
Diverse & Inspiring
With our roots firmly in the creative world of music and entertainment, we have a roster of singers, songwriters, musicians, actors, models, digital content creators and sports stars. Behind the talent sits their support network so we also advise record labels, managers, agencies, producers, directors and theatres.
Sitting alongside the creative division is a weighty portfolio of corporate clients in the premium hospitality, luxury retail and real estate industries, among others. Entrepreneurial owner managed businesses in a range of sectors and the complex financial needs of the high net-worth families behind these companies, as well as those of our artist clients, make up the final two divisions.
So, from Michelin starred restaurant groups and boutique labels to prime property and the largest festival group in the UK, we have an inspiringly diverse client base often with complex financial needs. We’re fortunate that most of our work comes through referral and recommendation. Once we win a client, it’s almost always the beginning of a lifelong partnership.
Our Divisions
Our People
Listening, Asking,
Taking Action
Many of our partners and staff have been with the firm for years, thriving on the diversity and calibre of work, as well as the relaxed, nurturing culture. They build long-standing relationships of trust with their clients and each other which are rewarding for everyone. From all our people, we ask for two fundamental commitments:
- To be genuinely interested in their clients – asking, listening and thinking.
- To care about their success, whatever form it takes.
In return, for this personal investment in clients we invest in training to help people develop and strengthen their skills; we encourage them to carve out their own niche, to be “the specialist”. We recognise and reward hard work and talent, and we try to have some fun along the way!
There is real personality and buzz at SRLV. We work hard but people here can genuinely be themselves.
