HWB Accountants

"Great support from the HWB - efficient, professional and competent. Special thanks to Gemma Hedges and her tax team. Why can't all accountants be like this?"

"They’re fine for basic bookkeeping, but don’t rely on them for anything more. Their terrible tax advice led to me owing HMRC thousands down the line. They are far more interested in lining their own pockets than looking out for their clients. If you are looking for competent unbiased advice, I’m afraid you won’t find it here. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE Edit after HWB's response: Funny as I remember extensive bookkeeping assistance during the time we engaged your firm and indeed your own website lists 'bookkeeping advice and support' as a service. The advice I am referring to is the extensive promotion and encouragement to use the contractor loans scheme - promoted heavily by your firm and specifically Alan Williams. This scheme was promoted as HMRC approved and an excellent tax planning mechanism, although HMRC have since disagreed and it has cost many thousands. Clients were left to foot the bill whilst HWB have offered no apology or attempt to assist, but were of course happy to collect large fees at the time for their 'advice and support'. They are a dishonest firm, that will look out for their own interests above those of the client. Again I urge anyone interested in any tax advice, estate planning advice or who would prefer to work with honest accountants, to look elsewhere."

"We recently engaged HWB as our auditors and have found their knowledge and expertise to be extremely beneficial to our organisation. They are very professional, helpful and courteous. We would definitely recommend them to others."

"Another great year of service from HWB representing Winchester Housing Trust. Michaela, Fiona and her team provide excellent financial support to the trust during the audit process and also an appropriate level of scrutiny to satisfy the governance of the board. It is great working with you all and long may this continue. Thanks again!"

"A first class audit function provided by HWB. They were personable perceptive and well prepared for all that we asked them to do. They fitted around our requirements and completed their work with very little interruption of our day to day activities. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a comprehensive audit delivered by engaging, knowledgeable and rigorous accountants"
