Client stories

The work matters.
So does the experience.

Choosing an accountant is choosing who you’ll turn to. Here are clients’ own words about working with Howarths — without invented results or a sales story put in their mouths.

01
“Switching to Howarths was the best business decision we made last year. They spotted thousands in overpaid VAT inside the first month.”
Sarah Mahmood
Founder, Cotswold Coffee Co.
02
“Calm, precise and genuinely on top of every deadline. I finally stopped dreading the tax year end.”
James O'Connor
Director, O'Connor Engineering Ltd
Less distance. More dialogue.

Great value.
Even better conversations.

Your accountant shouldn’t feel like someone you only hear from once a year. WhatsApp is our preferred way to keep in touch: smaller questions, more often, and conversations that actually move things forward.

A clear fee pays for the work. Staying connected makes that work more useful to you.

A story behind the quotes

The VAT that was never owed.

One of the stories behind those words. Cotswold Coffee Co. came to us with a VAT position that didn’t look right — this is how the first month went.

  1. Before we started

    A VAT return that didn’t look right, and the figures behind it never unpicked.

  2. What we did

    Read the earlier returns line by line, and the bookkeeping feeding them, before advising anything.

  3. Where it landed

    Thousands in overpaid VAT spotted inside the first month, and a fixed fee agreed upfront.

Inside the first month

That’s when the overpaid VAT was spotted — while the year was still running, not at year end.

Better support. A fee that makes sense.
