Our approach

We are specialist tax advisers and support our clients in matters of tax, accountancy, and HMRC defence. What sets us apart is our approach – one that is rigorous, professional and the product of considerable experience, yet remains carefully focused on the client and the results they seek.

Our founders are Chartered Tax Advisers who both benefitted from substantial careers in HMRC and private practice by developing a profound understanding of tax from all corporate and personal viewpoints, whether that of large multinationals or small start-up businesses. Their increasing awareness of how the prospects of companies and individuals can be harmed by poor advice, lethargic service and an impersonal attitude led them to establish an alternative: Hawthorn Tax.

Our approach…

…is accessible

We learn about and understand a client’s situation without judgement, are open to dialogue and present our clients’ opportunities and risks in plain language. We believe honest, relaxed communication to be the best route towards the most effective solutions.

“I could not recommend Anthony and Hawthorn Tax more! The communication and care aspect was equally matched by the knowledge and work ethic aspect. A very approachable, nice person looking after your interests in a very professional and effective manner. I couldn't ask for more. Very reassuring and quite refreshing in this industry.”

“Friendly and incredibly understanding of my complete lack of expertise in the area, super efficient at gathering all the required info, filling out the relevant paperwork and making sure I wasn't overpaying on my bill—made the whole process so easy and stress-free”

…is responsive

We have an enviable reputation for prompt communications, keeping our clients up to date on progress and ensuring that relationships are valued. Our advice, however, is always considered and well-informed.

“…always on hand to help with any queries. They are super knowledgeable and very responsive.”

“Their communication is fantastic. I deal with Ryan mostly and usually converse through WhatsApp but if there is ever something more urgent I can always pick up the phone.”

…truly understands our clients

We insist on becoming thoroughly familiar with your situation before offering our recommendations. Tax advice should not be offered on a one-size-fits-all basis, and our clients’ ambitions, goals and wider life are integral to how we find the right course to be taken. This is how we can act with our clients’ best interests genuinely at heart.

“…listened to my situation and gave me some very useful and transparent advice. He followed up by email after the call sharing some links and detailing next steps. Brilliant service!”

“first class customer service in all aspects - responses actioned in a timely manner, extremely knowledgeable, always have their clients’ best interest, excellent team and would always recommend Hawthorn Tax.”

…harnesses technology effectively

We use technology instinctively, flexibly and proactively to ensure that any financial decisions are based on the most up to date information. The efficiency and cost savings that sensible, sustainable and well-informed tech brings to our workplace benefits our clients directly.

"Hawthorn Tax provides options for small micro businesses to keep costs down."

“I have been dealing with Hawthorn Tax for 3 years now and I am delighted with the service we receive. They take the hassle out of accounting and have set up systems to make the whole process as easy as possible for business owners.”

…is focused on solutions

Where problems exist, we maintain progress by presenting our clients with solutions and options, not further problems.

"Never a problem, only solutions. Everyone is helpful and very efficient. Glad we moved accountant as everything is a lot easier."

“…always willing to offer a well thought out solution, in a short amount of time.”

“You have been a pleasure to work with. The relationship has always been friendly. Communication is always clear. Action is prompt. You saved us A LOT of money!!”

This is the approach that allows us to provide high-quality, professional tax and accountancy services whilst putting the well-being of our clients first. You can find out more about the team that delivers those services here.
