Our Clients: case study:
BRAL and E! Entertainment

E! Entertainment is a Los Angeles based media company which operates cable networks and provides celebrity based content to the media market. In 2003, they expanded their operation into the UK . Brand awareness of E! is now developing fast, following the launch of its digital TV channel, which is also broadcast on London transport.

The UK and EMEA headquarters office is located in the heart of London's creative and media industry centre. The UK staff are focused on the creative elements of the business. The company therefore decided it would be neither appropriate nor efficient to have an in-house accounts department in the UK. E! Entertainment decided to partner with BRAL Limited, a UK outsourced accounting and administration provider. BRAL provide a full suite of services to E! Entertainment, including preparation of management accounts to a tight monthly deadline, completion of VAT returns, payment of suppliers and administration of withholding tax issues that arise within Europe. BRAL now supports the E! Entertainment business in many different EMEA countries.

Eric Gray, Vice President, Finance of E! Entertainment Television Inc, said "BRAL's services in the UK have allowed us to concentrate on what we are good at. Europe is a key market for us and we have grown significantly over the last two years. As we've grown so BRAL's delivery of services has been able to grow with us. With their system we can complete multi-department approval of invoices from anywhere in the world at any time."

Brad Wald, Managing Director of the EMEA region, echoed these sentiments saying "In my role I travel extensively across many countries and time zones. Being able to log in and approve documents or retrieve financial information from wherever I am is invaluable".
