The proof of the pudding...
As the old saying goes “The proof of the pudding’s in the eating!”
and if that’s the case, it rather looks as though we’ve got the recipe right. Here’s what a few of our clients have to say...

“ Alanbrookes are so much more than simply accountants. In our expansion from start up to international company we have relied heavily on their spadework and judgement so that we make the right decisions. They are always on hand for sound strategic advice and combine the qualities of a safe pair of hands with adventurous tax planning

“ I was faced with a £400,000 tax bill due to a careless omission made by a top 10 firm of accountants in relation to one of their tax planning products. Because of the size of the demand and the fact that it was being dealt with by the most heavyweight department in the Revenue, I appointed a large firm of lawyers to handle it. After two years and tens of thousands of pounds of fees we had reached an impasse. Despite the complexity of the case and the volume of documentation, Andrew developed a simple and unbureacratic approach and came up with a strong case which resulted in a negotiated settlement of £37,000 yet still retained the goodwill of HMRC. I was then able to refocus on building my business.

“ We were due a rebate of £490,000 from HMRC but the claim had become mired in bureaucracy and the top 5 firm of accountants handling it did not seem to be progressing the matter, seemingly being more interested in proving their technical expertise than getting us what was rightfully ours. This money was desperately needed and things seemed to shift almost as soon as Andrew got involved, and we recovered the money in full within a few months after years of toing and froing.

“ The business was in serious trouble owing to major clients defaulting on payments, and there seemed to be no way out. James not only came up with a really inventive plan but saw it through with us in the face of great obstacles. Today, the business has not only recovered, but is thriving and expanding. It is no exaggeration to say that this was a life-changing intervention by Alanbrookes.
