Helen Marsh
Helen spent a decade in a Liverpool freight office reading supplementary declarations before she began drawing packs for people who never log in to CDS. She still marks procedure codes in pencil on a printout before any chart is final.
The practice
Drawn in Allerton, from files that already exist.
System Fieldpoint is a small reporting practice. We sit with customs extracts the way a bookkeeper sits with a purchase ledger: named periods, named entities, and a refusal to invent a column that was not in the file.
Why the work exists
Helen Marsh spent years in a Liverpool freight office watching finance teams ask for “the customs picture” and receive a portal login. The picture they needed was closer to a bound month: duty, origin, procedure codes, and the lines that did not match the invoice. System Fieldpoint was set up so that picture could be commissioned, dated, and filed — without pretending to be the broker, HMRC, or a live declaration service.
The office is at 98 Withers Close, Allerton, L18 4UN, United Kingdom. Much of the drawing happens from extracts sent by email. Review calls happen by video or, when it helps, in the room with the printouts.
How we work
We freeze procedure codes as text. We separate duty from postponed import VAT. We print seams when a broker changes mid-year. We would rather leave a gap on the page than average two incompatible exports into a smooth line. If you need someone to lodge an amendment, that remains your agent’s job; we will name the declaration reference so the conversation is short.
United Kingdom setting
The packs assume UK import and export entries, CDS extracts, and the origin schemes traders actually claim after EU exit — including the UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. We are not a law firm and we do not issue classification rulings. We read what was lodged and what paper you still hold.
People
James Okonkwo
James came from an internal-audit seat in a trading group. He is the person who asks for the invoice that matches the origin statement, and who writes the findings note when it is not in the file.
Priya Nair
Priya prepares the quarterly sit-downs. She will not combine duty and postponed import VAT into one slice, and she keeps a running list of the questions audit chairs actually ask in Allerton and on video.
