Our team of expert accountants, business strategists, tax specialists and auditors have worked with owners of a broad range of businesses at every stage of their development to grow, prosper and consolidate. In fact, we’re immensely proud that other accountants in Suffolk and UK-wide consult our tax saving experts for advice; we believe that speaks volumes about the depth of expertise and knowledge we possess.
Helping a client set up a new growth business alongside an existing business, advising on a structure that protects the existing business from inherent start-up risks, provides a ready made exit strategy and creates an environment for minimal additional tax liabilities for five years.
Planning a group reorganisation for a major corporate client, dealing with tax free exchange of shares and eliminating charges to tax on the transfer of assets within the group.
Keith is obviously very knowledgeable and is able to relate his expertise in an easy to understand way. We will definitely use Jacobs Allen again and believe that it was a relatively small amount of money, well spent to have this financial and tax review.”

Thank you so much Jaclyn & thank you also to Jacobs Allen for helping me to sort out my taxes.”

Alison used to work for my accountants, Jacobs Allen, and I must tell her in this difficult time they have kept me informed all the time without me contacting them. It has been really helpful. I used to think they were expensive but I know someone who pays a lot more than me and has had no contact from their accountants. I am really impressed!

Why am I not surprised to see such an admirable, thoughtful, organised mission from Jacobs Allen, to be there for everyone during this Coronavirus crisis?
I only thought yesterday that I would drop you a line and ask if we can keep going remotely as time at home brings helpful reflection and planning time often short-changed through busy lives.
Blooming well done everyone at Jacobs Allen!. Such an email exuding the humility we all need to more deeply reacquaint with as together we get through this wartime.
Stay well, stay safe and thank you warmly for your continued support!

I chose to come to Jacobs Allen for advice as I felt you were clearly knowledgeable yet very approachable, friendly and welcoming. To have all of my queries dealt with so professionally in a relaxed manner allayed any concerns I had about my tax affairs, past present and future. Your advice giving me a clear plan of the actions I have to take and your offer of assistance to put it into practice helped enormously in focussing my attention on building my business.”
