About Us
We provide a significantly different service to that of larger firms, while having the advantage of qualified staff members from those larger firms, our achievements are intrinsically linked to how we respond to and assist each client, both promptly and clearly. We are professional and technically constantly up to date while being completely relatable. Whether your query is inheritance, cryptoasset, capital gains, business or personal tax related, we welcome your call to provide you with this service.
Specialist tax advice
This saves clients hours of internet trawling and provides prompt reassurance that they are arranging matters efficiently and with the most recent tax reliefs, so when the hobby-expert is chatting at a dinner party our clients feel quietly confident that their affairs are dealt with professionally and with the latest opportunities.
We assess each client’s unique needs based on their individual circumstances, and provide our advice by taking their communication preferences into account. This may be avoiding emails and always picking up the phone, or it might be only having one-line emails, or the opposite, some clients prefer the whole essay and each penny explained. We are all different and we provide communication in the manner that each client appreciates.
There is no such thing as a typical client, and we don’t expect you to be experts in form filling, rule interpreting, in tax or in accountancy. It’s our job to enable you to get on with yours.
What sets us apart?
We take pride in more than just our technical knowledge, our team is committed to overall client satisfaction, including communication, availability, timeliness and value for money.
When it comes to managing your finances and taxes, the old adage is true: You get what you pay for.
When choosing an advisor, we would advise not to go for the cheapest option, not only will the whole journey be lengthy and frustrating, but the mounting cost of poor tax advice could escalate far beyond the original fees.
Our qualified accountants trained with top accountancy firms, and gained wide-ranging experience in personal and corporate tax compliance and planning over a number of years in practice.

Our commitment
- To our staff
We provide staff training throughout the year, so our team continues to grow professionally, and our clients benefit from the latest advice and information.
- To value for money
Freeman Carr is underwritten for our client enquiries, so no high fees are payable for lengthy enquiries.
- To health
Investing in a remote telephone system and upgrading our IT infrastructure has allowed us to isolate and work remotely when necessary, ensuring we can be reached by clients wherever we are, while protecting clients and staff.
Our responsibilities
- Protecting your data security
Cutting-edge digital encryption and a private client portal means your financial and personal data is secure, while triple back-ups, a bespoke private network and a specialist firewall guards us against cyber vulnerabilities and threats.
- Fighting climate change
We’ve committed to minimising our environmental impact wherever possible, as much as possible. One of the ways we achieve this is by sending out electronic documents to reduce our paper usage.
