• Undertaking basic Company Secretarial tasks under supervision, including preparation of board minutes, resolutions, and forms; and submission of documents to Companies House and HMRC Stamp Office.
• Assisting with the maintenance of clients’ statutory registers on Diligent Entities, our dedicated Company Secretarial database.
