Our services

Services for clients and professional advisers

We act on behalf of clients that approach us for advice but many of our cases come from other advisers. This can be firms of accountants who either do not have the time or the resources to deal with such cases, or who are just seeking some assistance or a second opinion.

Our instructions also come from solicitors who have been approached by clients for advice or those clients who face the possibility of prosecution in serious cases. We are the adviser to the advisers!

We appreciate that every tax enquiry is different and we tailor our service to the individual circumstances of each investigation in order to provide the best possible scenario for our clients.
