What rotsas & co does

Rotsas & Co Ltd is a privately held, Cyprus-domiciled professional services firm founded in 1988 by Christos Rotsas (FCA, ex Member of Parliament). The firm delivers audit, tax, accounting, payroll, VAT advisory, and incorporation/fiduciary services from a single office in Nicosia (44 Aipeias, Engomi), employing approximately 20 people. Service delivery is human-led, partner-involved, and conducted under International Standards on Auditing and IFRS, with technical specialism in the Cyprus tax framework and cross-border structuring for international clients.

The firm's client base spans Cyprus-based SMEs and international/multinational organisations establishing or operating Cyprus entities, including complex groups, investment funds, and owner-managed businesses across media, financial services, real estate, and pharmaceuticals. There is no proprietary technology platform; the technology stack is limited to a WordPress website, Google Analytics, and Google Maps. Revenue is generated through professional service fees across six service lines — Audit & Assurance, Book-Keeping & Accounting, Corporation Taxation, Incorporation & Fiduciary Services, Payroll Services, and VAT & Indirect Tax Advisory — with pricing structured as personalized engagements rather than published tiers.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven by direct partner relationships, referrals, content marketing (notably tax reform commentary), email newsletters, and LinkedIn presence. The firm holds ICPAC and ICAEW affiliations and is an ACCA- and ICAEW-recognised training employer, supporting trainee recruitment. Leadership comprises Christos Rotsas (Founder & Chairman), Louna Rotsa (Director & Managing Partner), and Nikos Achilleos (CEO), with family members in senior roles. No institutional investment, M&A, or external funding is evidenced.
