The senior members of our team previously held high level positions in the "Big 4". We are experienced at handling complex UK and international businesses.
In turn they are assisted by a group of tax specialist caseworkers. All our staff are qualified accountants.
As well as offering specialists in corporate and international tax the team also includes a group specialising in VAT, headed up by Peter Gladdish. Peter previously worked for Ernst & Young and originally trained in Customs & Excise.
Our approach is to work hand-in-hand with the client rather than provide a service from a distance. Thus we are always available 24/7/365 for advice.
Consultation may be by phone, email or in person.
We will attend your premises in preference to remote working as experience tells us the former is usually more effective.
