In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice in Cardiff Bay that acts for businesses in Bristol and South Wales on a fixed fee agreed before work starts.

Check we’re the right fit
A few questions about your business. Mudassir replies the same working day.
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.

Answer with the buttons and we will tell you where you stand.
Question 1 of 3
If HMRC wrote to you tomorrow, would your accountant deal with it at no extra cost?
Do you know, in writing, what your accountant will charge you this year?
Does your accountant reply to you the same working day?
On all three counts you are carrying the risk yourself, and you will find that out on the day the letter arrives. Start the check and we will tell you what moving to us would look like.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position on at least one count, which is more than most owners can say. The gap is worth ten minutes on the phone before HMRC decides to write to you.
Start the checkYour current accountant is doing the job properly and you have no reason to move today. Keep the guides to hand so you know what a check looks like if one comes.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Cover included, with nothing extra to pay
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your business, we deal with it and you do not pay us more. Other firms sell the same thing as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.
A fee you agree before we start
The figure goes in writing before any work begins. Calls, meetings and emails are never billed on top, so ringing us about a letter costs nothing.
An answer the same working day
If the answer needs longer than a day, we still come back that day to tell you when to expect it.
What Bristol owners tell us before they move
These are the three things we hear most often on a first call.
I got a letter from HMRC about my VAT and I still do not know what it means.
The letter sat for three weeks while the owner waited for a call back. Deadlines in HMRC letters do not wait for an accountant to get round to it.
My accountant charges me an extra fee every year for tax investigation cover.
That is a renewal invoice for something we include free. The owner never asked what happens if HMRC actually writes.
I owe HMRC money and nobody has ever explained what the bill is for.
One client owed around £20,000 across Corporation Tax, VAT and Self Assessment with no idea why. Nobody had gone through it line by line.
What changes once we take it on
You get the fee in writing before we start and the deadlines for the year mapped out. When HMRC writes, you send it to us and we answer it. You can ring about the letter the same morning it lands and it costs nothing.
Cover sold as an add-on, and cover included
Both arrangements are honest. They cost you different things when the letter lands.
Cover sold as a yearly add-on
An annual renewal invoice for £300 to £1,000
The policy is a separate thing from your accounts fee
The work on the enquiry may be quoted on top
A phone call about the letter can appear on the next bill

Reviews from clients
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.
I just want to say a big thank you to Mudassir for all the advice, guidance and help he has provided whilst dealing with my accounts and tax returns. From start to finish the service has been excellent and professional. Unlike other accountancy firms they provide a friendly personalised service, I was very clear on the process and was even provided with additional guidance where needed. Highly recommended!
Friendly, nice 👌 , helpful and great all around
Difficult to describe as there are too many words that can be expressed for a wonderful accountant and their firm.
Definitely 🔝 and highly recommended in Wales 🏴 and throughout the UK for Accountancy and Tax Services

Getting started
Four stages, and the cover is in place as part of being a client.
- Before you join
Your fee agreed in writing
You answer a few questions on the site. Mudassir reads them and replies the same working day, and if we are a fit we agree your fixed fee before any work starts.
- Week one
Records moved without the call
We complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Old returns and HMRC records checked
We go through your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
Every deadline mapped for the year
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and on your bookkeeping. You know what is coming up and who to call.
Who we are not right for
We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not do charity accounts.
We cannot take on a business that is already late in an HMRC investigation.
If you are outside those three, start the check and Mudassir will reply the same working day.
Tax investigation cover Bristol: questions people ask
How much does tax investigation cover in Bristol cost with Supreme Consultants?
Nothing extra. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client we act for, and it sits inside the fixed fee we agree in writing before any work starts. Other firms sell the same thing as a yearly add-on for £300 to £1,000. Calls, meetings and emails about an HMRC letter are never charged on top.
Can I switch accountants without ringing my current one?
Yes. We write to your current accountant for your records in week one, so you never have to make that call. We complete your ID checks, get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House, then review your past accounts and returns. There is no separate charge for the handover or the first month.
What happens if HMRC opens a check into my business?
You send us the letter and we take it from there. We tell you what HMRC is asking for, act as your agent, gather the records and answer the questions ourselves. You do not pay us extra for that work. Every HMRC investigation this practice has handled, we have won, though we never promise an outcome on any case.
Do I have to change my accounting software to join?
No. We work with cloud software and will keep you on what you already use if it does the job. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free. The point is that your records are kept up to date, so if HMRC asks a question the answer is already in the file.
Is tax investigation cover in Bristol available to sole traders as well as limited companies?
Yes. Limited companies, sole traders, partnerships and community interest companies are all welcome, and the cover is included free for every client whatever the entity type. We work with Bristol businesses as the neighbouring market to South Wales, remotely, in person at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, or a mix of the two.
Can you help if HMRC is already investigating me?
If an investigation is already running and is near its end, we will tell you straight that we are not the right firm to pick it up. We have said that before to a business in that position. If the letter has only just arrived and nothing is late, start the check and we will tell you where you stand.
