Why Choose Us

A personal approach
To date, all of our clients have come from word of mouth recommendation. You are always welcome to contact us with any queries or concerns you have and we will take time to address these.

International aspects
We have first-hand knowledge of the vagaries of life as an international performer or ensemble and can advise on reciprocal tax agreements across a range of countries.

We can apply for A1 forms for you; certificates of residency and deal with all aspects of foreign withholding tax. We can advise you on the need to submit foreign tax returns in order to recover tax and we have a network of taxation specialists in the US, Canada and EU in order to support this.

Xero certified practice
We are a xero certified practice and can work with you to set up your cloud accountancy software whether that is Xero, Quickbooks, Kashflow, Wave or a host of others. We advise on a chart of accounts that is appropriate to your business, we do the initial set up for you and we offer regular webinars on how to use your software to its best advantage.

We understand your lifestyle
This means that we are familiar with subsistence and per diem payments, touring supplements, travel days and so on. We have a working relationship with many of the UK’s leading agents and promoters and can liaise directly with your agency to ensure accurate accounts information.

No question too silly to ask 
We will explain your financial situation and how that affects your tax obligation so that you understand it. There is no question too silly to ask. We pride ourselves on being able to make sense of it for you.

NIC Class 1, 2 and 4
 This is a confusing area for many of our clients: a mixture of employed and self- employed work can find you paying every possible type of National Insurance Contribution. We will ensure your class 2 or 4 deferment is in place where appropriate.

From shoe boxes to spreadsheets
We will take your information in any format you give it to us. That's not to say we won't try to help you become more organised if you are a shoe box person. We have a useful template to record your income and expenditure and we encourage you to use this. We also provide you with a tax return checklist to make sure all aspects of your tax compliance is covered.
