Adam + Partners is an accountancy practice informed by decades of advocating in HMRC investigations. Today, we mostly help clients who need to balance personal wealth with business ownership.
Process matters. Outcome counts.
If you’re reading this, then your accountant is not delivering. Probably, what you really want is a smart, strategic advisor who also practices accountancy. Process matters. Outcomes counts.
Good
accountancy
can be
life-altering.
As wealth increases, so do complexities. When we get to know you (and your unique circumstances) we will exceed your expectations.
Business
Edge.
Day to day, we’re actively engaged with business owners who are actively engaged. We’re privately owned and free from bureaucracy. Which means we’re agile and we think creatively.
‘It feels like we have
a top 50 firm, only
with sweeter fees.’
Is HMRC
inquiring?
Or just need a tax review?
Has HMRC contacted you? Or do you think they might? Or do you simply want to be more tax efficient? Talk to us. With years spent advocating in serious HMRC investigations we can certainly offer useful insight.
Make your
wealth
work harder.
Are you a business owner, professional athlete, entertainer, or head of a multi-generational family? Adam + Partners can help protect what you have, and make it work harder for you.
Senior Partners: Every one of our clients has direct access to a Senior Partner. Now that technology has commoditised the key processes of accountancy, clients expect more. Experience delivers.
Adam Sharer, Founder
Adam
Today, my function is almost exclusively consulting. That means I spend my time having in-depth conversations with some of the most interesting people.
I enjoy the thinking. It’s been shaped by decades specialising in complex HMRC investigations. Right from the start of my career, I was deep into Tax Advocacy. My boss had serious clients with serious difficulties. It was excellent training.
Every one of my tax cases has ended with a satisfied client.
I set up on my own in 2008, furthered my knowledge and became a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. Having my own firm allows me to keep it personal.
Beyond problem solving, it’s fulfilling to help people (who I end up knowing personally) build their businesses and achieve their life goals. Good accountancy really can be life-changing. There’s also an instant satisfaction when I hear, in almost every first meeting, “I wish I’d met you sooner.”
Ari Deutsch, Partner
Ari.
In the finest detail, you find ways and means of getting things done. I remain acutely informed of developments in legislation and regulation. My idea of a good weekend includes sitting down with Taxation Magazine.
My clients include: private individuals, multinationals with complex tax affairs, privately-held business, family business and single-owner start-ups.
My central expertise is in the taxation of owner-managed businesses (and their owners), property tax and cross-border affairs. I like to think that I bring clarity.
I am a fellow of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (FCCA) and I hold the highest UK tax qualification, Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA), from the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT). I was made a Partner in 2014.Technology enables efficiency. Up to now, I have always been able to make space to take on more clients. New inquiries are welcome.
‘Mr Deutsch has a
quiet forensic mind
that makes him
lethally effective.’
Who we serve: Beyond serial entrepreneurs and professional entertainers, the clients of Adam + Partners can broadly be described as; Business Owners, Affluent Families, Individuals with Significant Wealth and those requiring Tax Advocacy.
Business
Owners.
We enjoy working with owners who are actively involved and want accounting beyond process and compliance. Whether it’s a mature family enterprise or a growing start-up, every decision results in tax consequences later. Throughout the year, we help owners assess potential outcomes and structure for maximum benefit — at the right time.
A NOTE ON AUDITS: We uphold the highest standards of due diligence and are entirely comfortable conducting comprehensive audits to support acquisitions or meet lender requirements. However, Adam + Partners does not conduct Statutory Audits. This requirement, foisted on companies, changes the advisor’s role and sets them apart from the client. When a client appoints an Auditor (typically a Top 50 firm) we remain part of the process – in an advisory role.
Affluent
Families.
As families grow, objectives widen. There are numerous considerations; from businesses to place of residence, investments from property to art, as well as international tax obligations. We help the principal navigate priorities and personalities. It’s personal and discreet, always with the long term in mind.
Individuals
with
Significant
Wealth.
Wealthy people are successful in their own way. And each faces unique challenges, all the time. They need bespoke solutions. We make the tax and accountancy fit around whatever it is they do.
Tax
Advocacy.
Someone normally comes to us because they feel under pressure. Either HMRC has contacted them, or they need to act before HMRC does. This work is at our core. We deliver results. When the pressure’s off, quite often, these clients move all their business to Adam + Partners.
Why are
you here?
Anyone spending time on an accountant website must be questioning their current setup. Maybe a big firm is treating you like a number. Maybe you have a tax issue. Or maybe you just want a senior accountant who genuinely has time for you. Whatever your situation, we hope you’ll consider Adam + Partners.
Tax Advocacy: Are you carefully looking for a tax review or are you under pressure? Has HMRC been in touch? Has poor advice has left you unsure where to turn? You’re in the right place now. Tax is at the core of what we do. We’re skilled advocates and negotiators. The first step is an honest assessment, a clear explanation, and a calm, strategic plan.
Under HMRC
Investigation?
Get Adam.
In the hostile environment of an HMRC tax enquiry, Adam provides the calm that comes from a wealth of experience. For over two decades, private individuals and businesses have benefitted from his advocacy.
Adam is a skilled negotiator. He has a phenomenal success record acting for clients under HMRC enquiry or investigation.
In every tax case, Adam and Ari are both are hands-on. They get to really know their clients – providing personal support, astute advice and a truly bespoke service.
Adam says, “My clients end up loving accountancy.”
‘I don’t look to win.
I look to make a
problem go away.’
Does your
HMRC case
really need us?
• Do you stand to pay out (or be refunded) more than £70,000. If your case is smaller than this, you might consider our fees too high.
• Are you concerned that, while your case might be quite small, an investigation might uncover something bigger? If this is you, then you definitely need us. If you appoint the wrong representative, it could become difficult to undo things later down the line.
Our first advice
to you.
• If HMRC are investigating (or you think they might) contact us now.
• If any response has already been given to HMRC, it’s even more important to contact us now. Only rarely, can representations made on your behalf, be taken back.
• If other advisors already act for you, we can support them with specialist knowledge or we can take over.
For
Solicitors,
Barristers
and
Accountants.
Are you a professional with a client under HMRC investigation? Adam has been offering technical advice and insights on how to work with HMRC to accountants and tax lawyers for more than two decades.
Reasonable Fees: If you feel your accountancy fees are too high – that’s probably because your accountant is delivering process, not outcomes. If you’re looking for a service that adds value (not just cost) then we could be a good fit for you.
General
Accountancy
Fees.
For many of our clients, it would be unfair to describe their accountancy requirements as “general”. When we understand your particular needs we’ll offer fees that fit. You’ll find that we charge a little more than most accountants and a lot less than a big City firm.
Tax Case.
1st Consultation.
£500.
If you need Adam Sharer to look at a tax case, there is a £500 charge for the initial phone (or video) call.
Sometimes, one consultation is enough and you can take Adam’s advice to your existing accountant.
If you decide to appoint Adam, the Consultation Fee is credited to you. An in-office meeting is £1,000.
Do you know
what good
accountancy
feels like?
We retain a broad range of clients (from billionaires to those employed by them) because they appreciate that we think beyond the ordinary. Our Tax Advisory clients honestly take joy in receiving our bills because – we’ve just saved them a small fortune in taxes. Wouldn’t you like an accountant who makes a difference to your life?
‘I never could
see the point in
changing
accountants.
Until I did.’
