Working Together

The vast majority of our clients are referred to us by their existing and ongoing accountants.  Solicitors also refer work to us regularly.  We are happy to work closely with you - to provide that extra level of specialist care your clients sometimes need in dealing with a difficult tax enquiry.
Accountants refer clients to us for all sorts of reasons, you may

• simply be too busy;
• have hit a brick wall in your relationship with an awkward to deal with Tax Inspector;
• not have the experience of dealing with: HMRC Specialist Investigations or Civil Investigation of Fraud (CIF) units, or unusual situations (like the New Disclosure Opportunity / Tax Amnesty);
• be uncertain about the effect of  arcane or new parts of the tax legislation; 
• want dedicated support in preparing for or conducting cases at Internal Review or at Tax Tribunal;
• be uncomfortable dealing with your long time client and his newly discovered Tax Evasion and be worried about the risk of Prosecution;  or
• just want a second opinion, or someone who can see the wood for the trees in a case you’ve been immersed in for too long.

Whatever the reason, you will want to work with experienced professionals who can provide a top quality tax investigation support service to your client, and in so doing enhance your reputation in your client’s eyes.  We at Lynam Tax enquiry experts have been successfully doing that for over 13 years now.  We are a member firm of both the ICAEW and the ACCA.  Paul lectures regularly to professional bodies and is also a Consultant to the ICAEW's Tax Faculty referral scheme for members; specialising in Tax Appeals, Enquiries and Serious Tax Investigations.

We can take over the whole management of a Tax Enquiry, or can work closely as a team in tandem with you, to give the best result for your client in terms of outcome and cost effectiveness.

We don’t prepare accounts, tax computations, Self Assessment Tax Returns, give planning advice or provide most of the raft of services accountants usually offer.  We just sort out difficult tax disputes: 100% of our professional lives; leaving you to get on with your mainstream business and handing your client back to you at the end of the enquiry, with a clean edge for you to continue from.

We pride ourselves on our excellent client service.  And remember, when you refer work to us, you’re our client too.
