The partners of the firm are Andrew Brown and Mahendra Shah, and below you will find a brief summary of their careers and interests.
The main ethos for both of us is that you should have easy access to your contact partner, or on occasions when he is not available, with the other partner who would usually be able to assist.
Most correspondence, tax work and all advisory services are dealt with by your contact partner, or in his absence, by the other partner. Each partner reviews all accounts work in detail before discussion with the client.
These procedures provide full assurance that your contact partner is fully aware of matters affecting your business, taxation or general financial affairs and will be able to give you the best advice.
As partners, we are both committed in allowing time with clients to assist in the overall financial planning of any business affairs.
Certain aspects of taxation and planning require specialist expertise, and a select network of experts is available to deal with such matters.
