You shouldn't be afraid to talk to your accountant. Our clients tell us that the thing they notice most about us is how easy to talk to, friendly and professional our staff are. Tax rules can get very complicated. We will show you how to cut your tax bill, and then constantly monitor your situation to ensure you never pay more tax than you need to.

Services
Our clients tell us that the thing they notice most about us is how all of our staff are easy to talk to, friendly and professional. You will be looked after by a dedicated partner as your main point of contact; but all of our staff are available should you require any specific specialist help or advice.
We aim to do much more than prepare your accounts, tax returns, and payroll etc, or ensure you comply with your tax and Companies House obligations. All of these tasks are important but they don't add much value. We minimise your tax liabilities through expert planning to ensure you pay the minimum tax required by law.
Many of our clients now agree fixed fees with us in advance. We therefore don't charge hourly rates and those clients can call us about anything without worrying if it is going to cost them. Our view is that fixed fees therefore helps to promote two way discussions and allows us to provide very targeted advice.
We have a happy, enthusiastic, hard working team of people with a wide range of skills, but we only use experienced and qualified staff. We invest heavily in training and technology, and encourage staff to think for themselves, to encourage personal advancement. I am a dual chartered and chartered certified accountant and became a partner at Sheppards in 2002.
Most people starting up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through. Most however are not experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business and such matters can appear daunting. Fortunately you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business, but you do need the support of a team of trained experts.
