We run a small construction business and have used Alan as our preferred accountant for many years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Excellent accountant.
Tax return nailed every year. Always a good experience. Friendly and down to earth. Good prices. I’ve used Alan as my tax advisor since way over 20 years. Solid advice.
Been using Alan since 2006 to sort my tax, always done right, he’s friendly and always happy to chat no matter how many questions I have. Good guy.
Great experience with Alan over the phone. Discussed personal tax matters to assess whether support was needed from Alan and he provided the reassurance needed. He didn’t try to push services that weren’t needed, the call ended with me being more confident with what I need to do, and knowing I had someone at the end of a call or email that is willing to help if needed.
We approached Alan to discuss our let property management and really happy with service. Good communication, explained everything clearly and reassuring to have someone who understands both tax and property on board.
I had many years of good service from Alan, moved away, reconnecting with him last year after getting really bad service from a very expensive multinational firm. Great prices & sound advice as before. So glad to get back with Alan and his tax over coffee theme. Thanks.
Very happy with the service from Tax Over Coffee. Alan did a great job sorting out my rental property tax. Really pleased and good value. Plenty parking spaces too.
