How We Can Help
I am commonly asked by fellow accountants, lawyers, tax professionals and bankers worldwide, what are the main areas that Savva & Associates can assist clients with. Here are some of the areas where we excel and can add value to clients doing business in Cyprus:
Our Commitment to You
Since 2009, Savva & Associates has proudly served as a trusted business advisor in Cyprus, assisting a diverse clientele that includes private individuals, entrepreneurial ventures, major public companies, and large multinational corporations. Our firm has experienced remarkable growth within the professional services sector and now boasts a workforce of over 40 highly skilled individuals, primarily consisting of Cyprus qualified lawyers and UK-trained Chartered Accountants. Our management team possesses significant experience from reputable big-firm backgrounds, and the know-how to assist the most demanding clients and complex transactions and structures.
We take pride in delivering value by adhering to a straightforward value proposition formula based on international standards, rather than solely focusing on Cypriot practices. This approach is rooted in my Canadian background and the 24 years I spent in Toronto, where I received my education and embarked on my professional journey.
We have dedicated ourselves to providing the highest levels of service and tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of our valued clients. Our commitment to excellence and international standards ensures that we deliver top-caliber support and guidance, making us a dependable and trusted partner for businesses in Cyprus and beyond.
My team and I at Savva & Associates are here to assist you for all matters related to Cyprus.
Thank you once again for taking the time to visit our corporate website.
You can trust that your business is in excellent hands with Savva & Associates.
Approximately 15,000 Cyprus entities are formed each year by local and foreign investors, significantly more than any other onshore tax jurisdiction in Europe, specifically the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Malta. The administration of these companies in most cases is entrusted to Cypriot corporate services providers, legal, or audit firms.
The Cyprus Corporate Services industry has been regulated since 2012, bringing under close scrutiny every aspect of the industry itself, and diminishing the possibility of abuse in this sector.
Employing almost exclusively UK Chartered Accountants, Cypriot and International Lawyers and professionals with expertise in the tax planning industry, Savva & Associates has emerged as a leading service provider in Cyprus. We ensure that our client’s Cypriot structures are established and administered to the highest level of international standards. We offer unique and custom designed substance solutions to ensure Cypriot structures contain the appropriate level of substance, and that all risks are clearly identified and communicated.
We are foremost a trustworthy and independent Cyprus Corporate Services Provider and company formation agent. It is not uncommon for a Corporate Services Provider with over 100+ staff to employ only one, or no Cyprus tax specialists, or have a ratio of less than 1:10 qualified professionals to administrative staff. This inevitably results in poor service, and worse yet, gross errors in advice and compliance matters.
At Savva & Associates you can trust that your business is handled with the utmost professionalism and international standards of service. Our policy is to employ primarily qualified Cyprus Accountants and Cyprus Lawyers, and professionals with significant experience within the industry, both in Cyprus and internationally.

A major advantage of using Savva & Associates over a Cyprus law firm or Cyprus accounting firm is the fact that we can provide you with sound, reliable Cyprus tax and VAT advice, and have a team of competent qualified Chartered Accountants to look after the preparation of Financial Statements and audit facilitation of your Cyprus structure. This approach, more often than not, results in lower fees for the client, and more importantly a higher quality of service.
Similar to Cyprus law firms, we also employ qualified Cyprus lawyers and company secretarial staff who can handle daily legal and administrative matters at competitive rates.
With regards to Cyprus taxation and VAT advice, this is one of our main strengths. We pride ourselves in fast responses and practical advice at the most competitive fees.
We have significant experience in providing comprehensive tax and VAT advice regarding trading structures and offshore funds, Cyprus offshore holding company structures, royalty structures, financing structures, trusts, and property investment structures. Our experience stems from our experience working with diverse client structures and collaborating with the world’s leading law and accounting firms to structure their client’s assets and businesses in a tax efficient manner.
Our reliable advice and timely service has resulted in numerous BIG4 offices abroad appointing Savva & Associates as their primary Cyprus corporate services provider.
We ask that you give us the opportunity to demonstrate our high level of service mindedness. We are confident that our outstanding service levels will make an impression with you and your clients.

In providing high level Cyprus taxation and corporate services advice, we understand the need to pro-actively develop an appropriate tax strategy as each transaction is being planned and implemented.
As such, we provide our clients with unique Corporate Services Solutions not currently being offered by most of our competitors in Cyprus. Such services include the following:
You may ask why such services are important. You may (or may not) be surprised to know the following:
This information is readily available online for a small fee and most importantly can be made readily available to anyone (including foreign tax offices).
Such policies adopted by our major competitors create risk to tax planning structures which are often not communicated to international tax planning professionals or advisors and expose clients to risk which is not identified and communicated.
Savva & Associates work with our partners to ensure that Cyprus structures are established and administered to the highest level of international standards and that all risks are clearly and swiftly communicated to our clients.
In establishing our fees we undertook an extensive fee study of over 70 of the leading corporate services and legal services providers in Cyprus. We have strategically set Savva & Associates fees to be the most competitive among tier-1 providers in Cyprus.
At Savva & Associates we believe that our fees should be transparent and agreed up front with all of our clients. We will never invoice for work which has not been previously communicated to the client and agreed.
We are always happy to provide a fixed fee quote for the work we undertake, thus eliminating any surprises or uncertainty regarding your costs.
In earlier years more than 30% of our new business consisted of existing Cyprus structures being transferred to us from other service providers due to their poor service levels, or noncompetitive fees. Such clients have been able to reap the benefits of working with Savva & Associates, and take advantage of fee levels between 30% to 75% lower than our competitors and consistently higher levels of service than our competition is able to offer.
Contact us today if you are interested in a fee quotation for transferring the administration of your Cyprus structure to Savva & Associates.
Since 2010, we have been among the fastest – growing professional service providers in Cyprus. We are acknowledged as the leading service provider in our field as a result of having one of the strongest technical teams on the island, adopting a service-minded approach unseen among our competitors, and being the most cost efficient Tier-1 provider on the island in Cyprus.
