About us
Our mission
Bringing value to our clients' business is the mission we started with in 2004. Such a mission involves two key success areas: a strong and united team of professionals who deliver excellence and customer satisfaction.
Our name
The APEX name is an acronym of Accounting & Payroll Expert Team and reflects the idea which united us from the beginning: a team of professionals in the accounting and payroll field, taxation being an intrinsic component of both.
Our history
APEX Team was established in 2004 at the initiative of an enthusiastic group of consultants with the goal of providing professional accounting, tax and payroll services by harnessing experience learned at Big Four accounting firms.
The beginning was measured, but full of the enthusiasm about freedom to develop the services as best we knew, keeping everything that was good from what we had seen, improving other aspects and creating our own identity. This was probably the most difficult aspect since no one had heard of us, and it is generally difficult to make yourself known. Compared to similar companies, we did not have a recognised name and it was much more difficult to gain new customers. Success at APEX came with a lot of work, passion and commitment to provide quality services. Since APEX Team is a fully independent entity, we realised that a major advantage was that the group of founding members provided a mix of skills and involvement. This has allowed us to provide a comprehensive approach to our services. We are able to offer a wide range of services and address all types of companies, from the smallest to the multinational.
An essential factor we have strongly promoted is flexibility with clients, the need to work closely with the client and to know its business. In order to maximize the value of our services, information about the operational part of the business and permanent communication with the client is vital.
APEX Team has seen continuous development. Our business card is presented by over 40 experienced consultants, an exceptional management team and a portfolio of satisfied clients.
Our expertise covers a full range of accounting, payroll, tax and advisory services. We invite you to read "Our Services" section for more details.
Members of APEX Team are chartered accountants, tax consultants, auditors and HR inspectors, and are fluent in English and French.
We invest in development and training of our specialists, encouraging every consultant to gain ACCA certification or Chartered Certified Accountant status with CECCAR.
APEX Team is accredited by ACCA at the highest “Platinum” employer level.
APEX Team is a member of the Body of Chartered and Authorised Accountants of Romania (CECCAR), the Chamber of Tax Consultants (CCF) and the Chamber of Financial Auditors of Romania (CAFR). We are also an active member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Romania (AmCham) and the Franco-Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFER).
The executive team
APEX Team’s development and strategy are assured from the start-up by its Partners, bringing their experience accumulated from years of collaboration with high-profile international companies. We invest in ourselves and, above all, we are invested with the trust of more than 300 clients. Our development plans for the future aim and target excellence in attitude toward clients and their business.
The mix of skills and qualifications make the APEX Team a successful solution.
