Hi Jo, Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry that you feel disappointed with your experience.
As acknowledged in our correspondence, there was historic communication with a former member of staff regarding this matter.

Following that communication, there was no further contact with our office for approximately two years.

When you subsequently got back in touch, we obtained HMRC authority, reviewed the position and provided a proposed solution. As a gesture of goodwill, we offered to liaise with HMRC, appeal penalties and interest, and assist in bringing the matter to a conclusion.

Unfortunately, we were unable to reach agreement on how to proceed.

We appreciate that this situation has been frustrating for you. However, we believe our team acted professionally, respectfully and in good faith in attempting to help resolve matters once we were re-engaged.

We take all feedback seriously and are committed to understanding where expectations may not have been met.

For any further assistance, please email support@taxassist.co.uk.

I moved from US to London in 2023 and when it was time to pay taxes on my US income I did some search and came up with your company with good reviews so I decided to contact your Twickenham office and let them do my taxes since 2022. I met great team in that office specially Melissa Fernandes who has been doing my taxes for the last 4 years who is a wonderful person and very knowledgable and doesn't hesitate to help us either in person or on the phone and she is a very big asset to your company and needs to be rewarded.

A very happy client

I used TaxAssist Accountants for the first time this year.
I'm highly impressed with them tbh.
Tola & her team made every thing very easy & painless.
The E documents sent to me to sign using the app were very easy to deal with.
I was greeted warmly at the Wickford office for my two meeting there.
I would recommend using TaxAssist 100% & will using them again next year 100%
A very happy client

I was very disappointed by my initial consultation.

I was very disappointed by my introductory meeting with TaxAssist accountants. The e-mail I had received suggested that this would be a meeting where we could discuss specific questions I might have as a new business director and receive 30 minutes of free advice. However the person I had the call with made it very clear that they were only interested in signing me up as a client and until that happened there would be no discussion whatsoever of specific finance or tax questions. My meeting was with the Hounslow and Twickenham office at 2pm on November 7th 2025.

Hi Henry,
We are sorry that you feel your encounter with the Hounslow and Twickenham was not a positive experience.

We do try hard to provide the most helpful advice and guidance at the initial free consultation and we aim to offer competitive quotes to all our potential clients with regard to their specific accounting requirements.

Should you require any further assistance, please email support@taxassist.co.uk - Thankyou

Incorrect Booking Need to employ people who know what…

Woodville, ON Franchise Need to employ people who know what they are doing and don’t just learn Bookkeeping in a 6 week to 6 month program. Also at least one person in a small town office should have a designation or several years experience.
Also when question are asked to them in regards to certain year end issues it shouldn’t take them over a week to respond.
Also they should not be charging to explain or correct someone’s year end when it is their accounting errors.

Excellent TaxAssist for advice for digital tax

I visited TaxAssist in Inverurie for advice on digital income tax. Barry McCabe was very helpful and advised me on how to apply for an exemption based on my age and caring responsibilities. My application to HMRC for the exemption was approved within 3 weeks. Great outcome from an excellent service. Highly recommended to others with similar concerns.

Negative Reviewers B.S

As with all firms, reviews differ, some are based on personal “grandiose” or “envisaged entitlement”, so if a negative review is placed because something didn't or isn't going as good as you had planned, despite the years of planning… the accountant cant be to blame. Maybe imagination took hold and then at some point the fairytale or imaginative, (unfair or heavily outweighed) conclusion didn't materialise. Again, not the accountants fault.
* shared family business…😂 its only shared if shared equally. The so called family business is not a family business and certainly not started with my ex wife…
If you know you know. Mike Turnbull Tax Assist Yarm. Always supported the business, and also supported my ex wife's charity and her own business too, (though, they both closed a few years ago)
To say a “family business” and “he was my accountant” could be interpreted as true, could be! But in reality…..
You cant keep blaming others for your own imagination or your unguided misconceptions…
