Advisory Only Chartered Accountants
Who ‘Make It Happen’
Howard Hackney LLP is a new generation advisory only firm of Chartered Accountants undertaking “special projects” for mid market family businesses and professional practices.
What makes us different is:
-
- We offer creative, practical solutions, considering the whole client (business, management, and individuals).
- Our advice covers a range of areas like corporate finance, tax consultancy, wealth planning, and strategic business advice, all in an integrated, holistic way, unlike the typical separated approach.
- We are sensitive to the needs and feelings of the people behind the business, using softer advisory skills.
- We help clients achieve both short and long-term goals, often ones they couldn’t reach without our assistance.
- Our goal is to make each client feel like they’re our only client. We tailor our services to their needs and don’t push products or involve ourselves in tax schemes.
- We offer creative, practical solutions, considering the whole client (business, management, and individuals).

Legacy doesn’t just mean wealth—it means values. But when values aren’t clearly articulated or updated, future generations inherit confusion, not clarity. #FamilyBusiness
"We've always done it this way." The 6 most dangerous words in a legacy family business. Respect the past, but don’t let it write your future. #FamilyBusiness
Do large scale mergers ever benefit the end consumer? Changes, new processes, loss of relationships, continual change... Might be good for the business but probably not for individuals working with them!
Caravan parks, often family-owned, command premium valuations but face succession planning challenges. Understanding IHT issues is crucial due to site fees not counting as trading for Business Relief purposes. #CaravanParks #SuccessionPlanning https://buff.ly/3vwpdeo
Running a business is hard work but needs accurate financial accounting information which is easily understandable and comparable to provide accurate, timely data. Make sure you get the data you need to make daily decisions. Tailor templates to meet your needs too!
Many family businesses are now keeping cash in the business for future IHT liabilities but not everyone appreciates that cash will become an excepted asset on which an additional amount of IHT will become payable too.
