Charles Marcus Ltd was established in 1984 as a firm of Chartered Accountants (ICAEW).

Charles Marcus Consulting Ltd became an independent consultancy firm in 1994 as a member of The Management Consultancies Association (MCA), the leading professional body of UK management consultancy firms.

Charles Marcus (CM) has developed a multinational network of consultancy firms. All CM consultants are partners in the Swiss international firm. There are parallels with other networks of professional firms. Big Accountancy firms developed a similar structure. There are many international law firms with a Swiss entity in their network.  

Charles Marcus clients are drawn from all industries which embrace change in their corporate structure and internal processes. We provide the usual professional non-competition undertakings when CM consultants work with other consultancy firms.

CM consultants control the direction of their career. Freedom of choice over assignment is a CM founding principle. As highly skilled consultants, we are able to decide how, when and where the tasks are to be completed without further direction or control by the client.

CMHQ in Switzerland provides professional support services to consultants and clients. All contract terms are reviewed and signed by CMHQ Directors as responsible for compliance with local tax and employment regulations. Our global PI policy has GBP10million worldwide cover.

CM consultants in UK and Australia are employees of the local CM company paying payroll taxes on all earnings from work on assignment. We have full employment rights and benefits under local legislation. CM also supports consultants in Europe, Switzerland, New Zealand and other countries with appropriate tax compliant arrangements for worldwide working.

Our remuneration package rewards, motivates, and retains continuity of service to clients. The remuneration package rewards the skills involved, as well as the time spent, with provision for continuity of employment between assignments, sick pay and maternity pay, there is flexibility with salary sacrifice, pension contributions, health cover and for charitable giving. The package is compliant with both the legislation and guidance of the relevant jurisdiction.
