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!

Very professional, honest, trustworthy & reliable. No cutting corners. Passionate in what they do & provide the best service. Would highly recommend.

Mohammad A Mahmud

Highly recommended accounting firm in Newport. I personally know the Managing Director, Buhir, who is an extra ordinary skilled accountant. I have a had a chance to work with Buhir last year. Since then, we continued our business relationship and every day his personality and tax & accounting skills surprise me.

I regularly seek business tax and accountancy advice from Buhir and each time he tries to direct me to the best way.

Businesses in Newport can start with Total Books with their 30 minutes advisory call which is totally free.

Undoubtedly, you won’t find his best alternative in Newport.

Cheers

I’ve had a great experience working with Total Books (Newport). They are professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond whenever I have a question. Accounting and tax can sometimes feel complicated, but the team explain everything clearly and make the whole process straightforward.

Their support with bookkeeping, tax advice, and general financial guidance has been excellent. You can tell they genuinely care about helping their clients stay organised and compliant.

If you’re looking for reliable accountants and tax advisers who are approachable and efficient, I would highly recommend Total Books (Newport)

Very knowledgeable explaining things that made stuff easier to understand would highly recommend for accounting

Response from the owner:Looking forwards to bringing you on board for your cis tax work. I am glad that we managed to help you sign up for your cis subcontractor utr. It usually takes two weeks for the Utr number to arrive in the post once you have registered online with hmrc. Also keep an eye on your income, if you go over 50k in the tax year, then the next tax year you will have to register for mTd filing online and provide hmrc with four returns. Also thanks for your review. From your local Briatol CIS Accountancy firm

Called regarding an enquiry about tax planning and Inheritance tax. Buhir was an absolute pleasure to talk to, he took his time explaining my options and his wealth of experience definitely shows. Thank you Buhir.

Response from the owner:HI Azeem. Thank you very much for leaving the review for the property tax planning that you needed help with on behalf of your father. I am sorry that the other firm you spoke to were not so transparant with their fees. Its always best to look around and get a second opinion if you need to know what to do next. Its always safer to be careful when you are asked to pay out large sums of money for tax planning for your property portfolio as well. Further to my guidance I reccomend you read up on HMRC Guidance on Spotlight 69 and Spotlight 63 in using a Hybrid Trust - LLP - & - Ltd structure being deemed to be caught as anti avoidance legislation. If you need anything else just reach out. As always you can come to visit us in our easton offices or meet us online via teams or Zoom.
