The bits no one warns you about

The more you have, the more there is to lose to tax — and the easier it is for a generalist accountant to miss reliefs, mistime disposals, or overlook Inheritance Tax until it’s too late to plan.

Wealthy individuals often have advisers who don’t talk to each other, leaving gaps where tax quietly leaks and the estate is left exposed.

  • Income from salary, dividends, property and investments
  • Capital Gains Tax on shares, funds and property
  • A future Inheritance Tax bill on your estate
  • Reliefs and allowances easily left unclaimed
  • Trusts, gifting and succession to plan
  • Advisers who don’t join up your full picture
How we help

Everything handled, under one roof

High earners and wealthy individuals face tax on more fronts: income from several sources, capital gains on investments and property, and an estate that Inheritance Tax can take a serious bite from. Without proactive planning, you pay far more than you need to.

We act as your private-client accountants — coordinating your income tax, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and estate planning into one strategy that protects your wealth and keeps your tax as low as the law allows.

Still deciding?

The honest answers to what you’re thinking

How much does a private-client accountant cost?

We agree a fixed fee based on the complexity of your affairs. For most high-net-worth clients, the tax we save across income, gains and estate comfortably exceeds the fee.

Is this tax avoidance?

No. We use the allowances, reliefs and structures the law provides — pensions, ISAs, gifting, reliefs and sensible timing — never artificial schemes. The goal is simply not to overpay.

Can you work with my financial adviser and solicitor?

Yes — we coordinate with your wealth manager, IFA and solicitor so your tax, investments and estate plan pull in the same direction.

Can you help reduce Inheritance Tax?

Yes — through gifting, reliefs, trusts and timing, planned early. The sooner we start, the more we can usually protect.

FAQ

High-net-worth individuals: your questions answered

What counts as a high-net-worth individual?
There’s no single rule, but it’s often taken as someone with substantial income (commonly £200k+) or net assets over £1m beyond their main home and pension. If your affairs are complex, specialist private-client advice usually pays off regardless of the exact figure.
Do high earners need a specialist accountant?
Yes — multiple income sources, investments, property and a future estate create planning opportunities (and traps) that generalists miss. A specialist usually saves far more than the fee.
How much does an accountant for high-net-worth individuals cost?
It depends on the complexity of your affairs. We quote a fixed fee up front, and for most clients the tax saved across income, gains and estate exceeds it comfortably.
Can you help with Inheritance Tax and estate planning?
Yes — through gifting, reliefs, trusts and timing, ideally started years ahead, we help protect more of your estate for the people you choose.
Do you work with clients across the UK?
Yes — we’re a fully online private-client practice serving high-net-worth individuals throughout the UK.
