Trustworthiness
We’re 100% committed to you and your business and building a long-term relationship based on mutual trust and support.
Any tax investigation - whether from HMRC or Special Compliance Office (SCO) - is stressful.
Especially if you have no idea how to deal with it. The problem is you can’t just ignore an investigation and get on with your business. You must resolve it before it becomes detrimental to your personal and business life.
And since every year, HMRC carries out enquiries into the tax affairs of individuals and businesses in the UK, it’s not ideal scrambling for help when (or in case) you find yourself at the centre of a tax enquiry. You need to know the right people to come to when such a situation arises.
Luckily, the tax team at Birdfynn Accountants have the knowledge and experience in dealing with a range of tax enquiries (PAYE/VAT/CIS/Corporation tax, VAT disputes, and so on) and can guide you through an investigation correctly and efficiently!
Minimise your expenses, and be assured you have the proper guidance every step of the way with Birdfynn Accountants.

Pratik has been an immense support for us since we launched back in 2017. He is trustworthy, sincere, and really knows how to look after his clients. He’s been instrumental in helping us get our accounts in order since we started. His team has helped us with our R&D tax relief, VAT, payroll, and ad-hoc requests that have come in during the years. His friendly approach and calm composed nature is super-helpful in calming any founder or CEOs worries when it comes to accounting. I highly recommend Pratik and his team.
