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).
