All Communication with HMRC and Companies House
Let us take the stress out of dealing with the authorities on you behalf.

Always working for you to make sure that both you and your business are paying as little tax as its legally possible to do. There will be no fees in the event of an HMRC enquiry into your tax returns.

Some kind words from happy clients
“Fortune Hart has always wanted the best for our business. Darren and Lisa continually look for ways to make our company run more efficiently” Read more
Everyone is very friendly and they explain everything very clearly nothing seems too much trouble.
Very professional Works completed quickly
As a new start up business I've had enough to think about without worrying about getting my accounts set up correctly and making the most of available benefits. Lisa and Darren have worked with me from day one and together have made the process so easy. They've set me up on Xero and Receipt Bank and these are fantastic tools making book keeping very straight forward.
I moved to Darren from a previous accountant after meeting him at a Business for Breakfast business generation club in Stoke, I then had a 121 meeting with Darren where I learned more about tax and accountancy in 2 hours than I had in the past 12 years! I trust Darren implicitly. If you don't know what you are paying your accountant for or don't like your exiting accountant talk to Darren and he will do the rest including the uncomfortable communication with your existing accountant! Better quality and better value.
