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!

Alex Stephenson

Fantastic and friendly service from Total Books - I will definitely be using them again. My questions about property tax planning, including on stamp duty land tax and capital gains tax, were answered thoroughly and competently and this has given me the confidence I needed to proceed with my plan to incorporate and set up a property business. Couldn't recommend enough, thank you Buhir.

Arthur Daw

I’ve found the team at Total Books to provide an exceptional bookkeeping service. They are friendly, patient, and highly professional. In my experience, they are the best accountants I’ve worked with. They offer far more than standard accountancy and bookkeeping support and consistently go above and beyond expectations.

Response from the owner:Thanks Arther It's been a pleasure looking after your business in the landscape architect space. You are a very talented business owner and will go a long way. We really enjoy the consultancy and mentoring sessions with you on planning a path for the future and conrinuing to help your accounting and business go for further growth.

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

Response from the owner:THANKS FOR LEAVING ME SUCH A FANTASTIC REVIEW AS ONE OF THE BEST ACCOUNTANTS IN NEWPORT. I have enjoyed working with you on your multiple business opportunities, including your speciality as a business that specialises in digital marketing and seo. We have dealt with businesses before in the digital marketing sphere. So providing accounting and financial advice for this area is quite Fulfilling. Going through the business plan that you had put together for your funding and visa application was quite technical and enjoyable as well. Looking forward to spending many years working with you as a business advisor and business consultant In Newport and beyond. Also, looking forward to continuing to gain your advice as you are quite an expert in your field as well. Take care and speak soon my friend.

Response from the owner:nd I am glad that we have managed to help you claim so many allowable tax deductable expenses that you were unaware of.
