PARTNERS · ACCOUNTANTS & ADVISORY FIRMS

The customs line your clients assume you check. Now you can.

BorderAudit gives accounting and advisory firms a customs audit capability without customs headcount. The platform does the field-level analysis of clients' HMRC declaration data; your firm owns the relationship and the advice — from a first referral to a client portal under your own brand.

THE GAP

Nobody in the room is checking customs.

ACCOUNTANTS · ADVISORY FIRMS

Every importing client on your list files customs declarations — and almost none of them are reviewed the way you review their tax. That gap is a risk for the client, and an advisory line waiting to be owned by the firm they already trust.

The assumption
Clients assume you already check it
Your clients trust you with tax, VAT and payroll — and most quietly assume the duty line gets the same scrutiny. Almost nobody checks it: customs sits in a gap between the accountant, the broker and the client.
Error rate
17% of declarations contain errors
The UK processes 4.4 million declaration lines a day and roughly one in six declarations contains an error. For any importing client on your list, the question isn't whether there are errors — it's how many, and in whose favour.
Post-clearance
HMRC can come back years later
Customs is audited after the goods have cleared — HMRC can revisit entries years after the event. When a compliance check lands, the client's first call is to their trusted advisor. Right now, most firms have nothing to say.
The capability gap
Customs headcount is scarce and expensive
Building an in-house customs team is a multi-year hire in a market with almost no available specialists. Most practices refer the work out instead — and hand a client relationship line to someone else.
THE CAPABILITY

The platform does the analysis. Your firm gives the advice.

An advisory customs partnership splits the work the way a practice already thinks: automated, evidence-linked analysis of the client's HMRC declaration data on one side, and the client relationship — the interpretation, the recommendation, the conversation — on yours. You add a customs line to the practice without building a customs team.

The platform · 01
Field-level analysis, automated
Every declaration line in a client's HMRC data is scored — tariff classification, customs valuation, preference and origin claims, customs procedure codes (CPCs) and reliefs — with line-level evidence attached to every finding.
Your firm · 02
You own the relationship and the advice
Findings arrive as evidenced output your firm presents and advises on. A customs specialist reviews every finding before anything is filed with HMRC — nothing reaches a client or the authority on a score alone.
The practice · 03
No customs headcount needed
No integration project and no new hires: the client authorises access to their HMRC declaration data through Government Gateway, and the analysis runs from there. Your team stays an advisory team.
The conversation starter

Most partner firms open with the audit readiness score: a 0–100 score across six risk dimensions of the client's own declaration data, with duty-at-risk attached. It turns "have you looked at your customs position?" into a number on a page — from the client's real declarations, not a questionnaire. See the readiness score →

THE TIER JOURNEY

Introduce first. Grow into your own portal.

Firms don't have to commit to a whitelabel practice on day one. The tiers are a journey: start by introducing clients, move to a portal under your brand when the line has proven itself.

Tier 1 · Introduce
Refer clients, keep the credit
Start as an introducer: refer importing clients to BorderAudit under the BorderAudit brand on referral terms. Zero delivery burden — you open the conversation, the platform and our specialists do the rest.
Tier 2 · Whitelabel
A client portal under your brand
Your logo, your colours, your name on a portal at yourfirm.borderaudit.io — operated by BorderAudit, carrying a “Powered by BorderAudit” attribution. Your clients log in to your firm's customs practice.
Tier 3 · Co-branded
Your domain, your delivery
A co-branded deployment on your own custom domain, with audits delivered by your firm on the platform. The full customs line, inside the practice, on your letterhead.
Flat economics at every tier

Every tier runs on flat platform economics — never a success fee, never a commission on what your clients recover. The pricing conversation with a client stays clean.

WHAT YOUR CLIENTS SEE

Your clients see your firm.

On the whitelabel tiers, the customs practice your clients experience is yours: your logo, your colours, your name — on the same continuously-updated platform every partner runs on, with zero custom development.

Client view · 01
Firm-branded dashboards & reports
Your clients see you: partner-branded dashboards, audit reports and engagement documents, with white-label discipline enforced across every surface of the platform.
Client view · 02
Your subdomain — or your domain
Whitelabel partners run on their own subdomain from day one. Full custom-domain deployments — platform, sign-in pages and client emails on your domain — are available; the DNS is on your side, so timing is too.
Client view · 03
Engagement paperwork on-platform
Co-branded statements of work and letters of direct representation are generated and e-signed on-platform — the engagement admin looks as considered as the analysis.

Tier 2 portals carry a "Powered by BorderAudit" attribution; Tier 3 co-branded deployments run on your own domain.
