What would you like help with?

Income tax

We can help you take advantage of all allowances and in some cases structure your income to be more tax efficient.

Inheritance tax and protecting your estate

The most important factor in protecting your wealth for the future generations is thinking ahead and ring-fencing assets accordingly.

Stamp Duty Land Tax

Make use of possible reliefs or exemptions when purchasing houses, land and most types of built property over a certain value.

Capital Gains Tax

Find out where CGT does not apply, the factors that determine how much you pay and the reliefs that may be available.

Trusts and estates

Effective ways to protect your assets for the future benefit of dependents, organisations and your loved ones in perpetuity.

Tax returns

Self-assessment can be a liability if you’re unsure which sections apply to your income and what exactly to state in them. We can help.

Non-dom status

Where you are domiciled can have a huge impact on a number of UK taxes and how they affect your assets.

Making gifts

There are a number of ways to pass on your assets under your individual tax-free allowances which can be exempt from inheritance tax.

Minimising your exposure when it matters most

Traditional accounting tends focus on tax, cash flow and allowances. While these remain very important, the breadth of our experience and expertise means we are also perfectly placed to advise and assist during major life events and projects – whether family succession, inheritance processes, business ownership transitions, divorce, HMRC enquiries and more.

We have helped clients facing divorce negotiations to better understand the tax implications of their potential agreements and in many cases find better solutions. We’ve also helped trustees and beneficiaries to know more about their roles and the regulatory needs around them. And in complex cases, we’ve helped people looking to move to the UK or from the UK overseas who needed to determine whether they should be UK tax residents or UK domiciled.

Helping families to help their relatives

We’re often approached by the sons and daughters of high net worth individuals who are keen for their parents to work with an adviser to avoid Inheritance Tax and save money. We are highly sensitive to all the concerns around this delicate situation and will work to preserve the integrity of all involved. Where other professional advisers are already involved, such as a lawyer, financial planner or accountant, we have often acted as a facilitator to get to the best solution for the client.
