In 2009 we created our first company to work for ourselves and Malcolm was recommended to us.

How has Malcolm Sackman helped you?

Malcolm helped us create the company, advised us to become VAT registered, assisted with all HMRC requirements and compliance and has, for the last 14 years, been our company accountant. He has advised and answered queries for us and when he has not been able to help, has sought professional advisors on our behalf to assist us. As our company grew, Malcolm has steered us through Payroll and pension compliance. As we have grown, our reliance and assistance from Sackmans has grown.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Above and beyond. Malcolm has guided us year on year and brought to our attention areas we could be more productive in - or highlighted areas where we needed to be more vigilant. It is more than just a straight accounting service; he has become a part of our company.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an accountant?

I receive income from commercial property and by using an accountant I ensure that the correct amount of tax is paid. I also make large donations to charities and need to ensure that the gift aid paid by the government is covered by the income tax I pay. It was also necessary for an accountant to liaise with the Executors of my Mum`s estate which was relatively complex.

How has Malcolm Sackman helped you?

By ensuring that my tax return is completed correctly so ensuring that I pay the right amount of tax, do not fall foul of HMRC and support the state services which I enjoy the use of. He also needed to liaise with the Executors of both my parents estates which was done correctly.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes - HMRC are clearly satisfied with my tax returns and my Mum`s estate is nearly wound up.

What could they have done better?

I doubt it!
