Buhir and his team have been absolutely incredible. My tax situation was quite complex, but they took their time and were extremely thorough, checking in with me each step of the way. In the end, they saved me loads of time, money, and headache. I couldn't be more grateful and wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Buhir & Adil were very supportive when I set up my business and i remained their client for a few years. If you have a larger business I highly recommend their services. Always took an interest in my well being and provided a personalised service.

I have had an invaluable meeting with Buhir today honestly amazing, completely demystified my accounts, and provided solid advice and knowledge which has saved me thousands of pounds. I wish I had come across him years ago, he has given me the knowledge and utilities to confidently complete my self assessment tax return. He works with utmost integrity and is ever so accommodating as I have had to reschedule this meeting on a number of occasions. Could not recommend him more highly.

For you, that is looking for an reliable accountant. I called today Total Books seeking for some information regarding their services and fees. I spoke to Buhir, one of the owners and senior accountant. He was extremely helpful, answering all my queries feeling heard and without rushing the conversation. A polite and honest straight forward conversation. It is refreshing after my previous experiences with other companies.

Fantastic experience talking to Buhir today. He went above and beyond to help me out fine-tune my bookkeeping. A valuable asset to Business Wales as a mentor. Answered all my questions and more. Just the guy to help any new sole trader, Cardiff is lucky to have you.
