I use these guys every year for my tax self assessment and they are excellent. Very clear and walk me through everything, without being patronising or judgemental at all! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Eva Bindeman
Very helpful and gave great advice. I’m an Australian citizen and UK resident and the accountant was very understanding and patient with helping me navigate how to figure out my taxes here for the first time.
Marley Houston
I had a really useful initial call with Buhir Rafiq, one of Total Books' accountants. He had straight forward advice and answered my questions on both personal taxes and my new business partnership. Very helpful.
Holly Tomlinson
Buhir was incredibly helpful regarding business ideas, tax returns and general self-employment. He took time to explain things and put them in simple terms making it understandable. Buhir offered services without pushing anything. I would recommend Buhir and Total Books.
Lewis Ayling
We wanted tax advice and chose Bahir based purely on client reviews. During a 90 minute meeting at his Cardiff office, we gained detailed advice on a whole range of tax questions. Bahir was hugely knowledgeable, while being clear regarding anything requiring further consideration. We believe that our consultation will be money well spent and we look forward to entrusting the more complex aspects of our tax affairs to Bahir going forward.
Jeremy Britton
First meeting with Buhir was fantastic, very open and transparent, helpful and took the time to guide me through issues and queries that I had. Good use of software too whereby I am able to access all my documents through an online portal rather than have to trawl through my emails for these. Would recommend to family and friends, thanks to the team!

I had a discovery call with Buhir regarding my first tax return. He was knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. I would recommend him highly.
Response from the owner:Hi Edward, I am looking forward to working with you and getting on top of your self assessment tax for the 25/26 tax year and possibly mtd-itsa personal tax return filing from April 2027 onwards. I always try my best to give as much s possible to help our clients in the discovery call. Then we leave it up to the client to make an informed decision. As I always say its a no obligation 15 minute discovery call to get a free quote and some free advice. See if we can help you with your tax return for electricians work possibly CIS & possibly self employed as well. Cheers for the review a million times over and take care.
I can’t recommend Bahir highly enough! at Total Books.....He’s a real expert on the Let Property Campaign and knows it inside out, which makes such a difference when it’s something most people find confusing and a bit daunting. He explains everything in plain English, so you always know exactly where you stand.

He’s warm, patient and genuinely kind, and never makes anyone feel awkward or judged. You can tell he really cares about putting people at ease. He’s also very professional and keeps you updated every step of the way.

His pricing is clear and upfront from the very start, so there are no surprises, which is so refreshing.

If you’re in Bristol looking for someone you can trust with this, Bahir is your man. Honestly, you’re in the best hands! 😊
I’ve been working with Buhir for the past 3 months on my Let Property Campaign], and the experience has been exceptional. From day one, they provided completely non-judgmental guidance, making me feel comfortable and supported no matter how complex or daunting my tax situation.
Their expertise with the Let Property Campaign is invaluable. They broke down complicated regulations into clear, actionable advice and ensure every detail is handled accurately and efficiently. Thanks to their proactive and supportive approach, I feel confident throughout the whole disclosure process.
If you are looking for a highly skilled, approachable, and truly non-judgmental accountant—especially to guide you through a Let Property Campaign disclosure—I can't recommend Buhir highly enough.

I can’t recommend Bahir at Total Books Newport highly enough. If you’re a sole trader, run a limited company, or own a small to medium-sized business, he’s exactly the kind of accountant you want on your side.

He makes Making Tax Digital (MTD) incredibly simple. What initially felt like a confusing and stressful change became straightforward thanks to his clear advice, patience and expertise. He explains everything in plain English and takes the stress out of the entire process, making it easy to stay compliant with HMRC.

What really sets Bahir apart is his knowledge of tax efficiency. He’s always looking for legitimate, practical ways to help clients reduce their tax bill where possible and makes excellent recommendations that are tailored to your individual business. You genuinely get the feeling that he looks after your money as if it were his own.

He’s professional, responsive, approachable and always happy to answer questions, no matter how small they seem. It’s refreshing to deal with an accountant who genuinely cares about helping your business succeed rather than simply filing your accounts.

If you’re looking for an accountant in Newport who offers outstanding value, expert tax advice and first-class customer service, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Total Books Newport. Five stars from me.

A genuine five-star service from start to finish.
Buhir is so kind and knowledgeable, he listened patiently, understood my concerns, and provided me with solutions and reassurance as well as so much useful information. I felt honoured to speak to someone with so much experience and was shocked at how willing he was to help after having been constantly turned down by other firms.

He went above and beyond to help and has genuinely been one of the nicest people I have spoken to. He is very genuine, down to earth and passionate about what he does and you can feel the level of care that he has. Definitely someone with high morals and values who can be trusted and I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:This really made our day — we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share this. I know how challenging it can feel after years of studying and still struggling to secure that first AAT trainee accountant role in Newport, so I’m really glad our conversation, guidance, and detailed plan helped bring some clarity and confidence back. You’d clearly put the hard work in already — sometimes it just takes the right direction, a tailored CV approach, and a better understanding of what firms are actually looking for at entry level. I’m pleased the guide and advice gave you that structure and reassurance to keep going, while staying true to your values and ethics. There is so much in the guide that we sent you from linkedin to direct outreach to the accountancy age 50+50 I hope it all helps. Hearing that you felt listened to and supported means a lot. You’ve got the right mindset — now it’s about consistency and applying that strategy. Keep pushing forward, you’re closer than you think, and I’m always happy to help if you need anything along the way. Your local ever so nice Accountants in Newport. P.S we went down the AAT route and our accountancy practice in newport is also licensed by the AAT so you are doing a good qualification.
Thank you. I’m happy to leave an honest review based on my experience. Once we’ve spoken and I’ve received the guidance, I’ll be glad to leave a genuine review.
Response from the owner:Dear Shyam Thanks for the review. I pray that detailed guide on helping you to apply for accoutancy positions with chartered accountancy practices in the UK was useful. As discussed on whats app if you want to jump onto a video call I can go through this and any other support that we can provide in more detail. Thanks for advising on Whatsapp that the guide was useful and you will be sharing it with your friends as well. Take care.
I had a discovery call with Buhir at Total Books Cardiff and had a great experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the services and pricing in a clear and straightforward way. What impressed me most was that he went the extra mile by sharing practical tips and advice on how we could grow our business, rather than just focusing on the services he offers. His honest, friendly, and supportive approach made the call extremely valuable. Thank you, Buhir, for your time and guidance!
Response from the owner:Hi Bina What an amazing review. We always try our best and you and your husband were just so nice so it was easy to do our accouting thing. I pray that your online business trading in etsy and via your website goes from strength to strength. As mentioned in the meeting you can speak to the HMRC PAYE helpline to help you with your PAYE Online tools software. Also if you need us to do your Ltd company accounts and yearly CT600 tax return please feel free to come back to us. Looking forward to speaking to you again.
