By the Book Accountancy in Coventry draws consistent praise for the way Robin Thatcher handles self-assessment and tax returns, with several customers describing the process as straightforward because he takes over once the necessary records are supplied. Reviewers repeatedly mention his responsiveness, noting that questions are answered promptly and that advice is offered freely both before and after filings.

Clients ranging from small start-ups to an independent financial adviser describe clear explanations of complex areas such as tax planning, crypto assets and personal tax returns, communicated concisely and without jargon. A recurring theme is value, with customers calling the pricing reasonable for the work completed. Friendliness and patience come up often, particularly from those who felt they had a poor grasp of HMRC requirements before seeking help. Several reviewers single Robin out by name for his knowledgeable, honest approach and for the personal attention given to each engagement.

Word-of-mouth referrals to friends and family appear throughout the feedback, and clients describe returning for subsequent filings. The practice's handling of cryptocurrency tax matters is highlighted as a particular strength, with one customer noting that other accountants had not understood the requirements. Bookkeeping, tax planning and personal tax return preparation feature among the services described.
