We were looking for reliable tax advisor. Luckily we found Total Books on google based on their previous reviews and ratings. We visited them on our first appointment and found them VERY helpful with excellent service. Total Books guided us step by step and even demostrated via recorded videos which was indeed very helpful, especialy for people like us who have never filed tax before. They took all our details and filed thde tax very quickly. I would Highly recommend especialy for our case with dental self assessment. They are very reliable, responsive and very respectful. We would HIGHLY recommend who ever is looking for quality work.

Its not very often I write reviews but I can honestly hold my hands up and say this accountant in Cyncoed is by far the best one I have ever used. The knowledge and advice I received on self assessment and property tax from this company has been invaluable and from the very first call I knew I had made the right decision to go with them. I have no hesitation in recommending them you will not be disappointed.

We wanted tax advice and chose Bahir based purely on client reviews. During a 90 minute meeting at his Cardiff office, we gained detailed advice on a whole range of tax questions. Bahir was hugely knowledgeable, while being clear regarding anything requiring further consideration. We believe that our consultation will be money well spent and we look forward to entrusting the more complex aspects of our tax affairs to Bahir going forward.

Amazing online self assessment tax accountant in my local area of Roath.Total Books & Buhir Rafiq have been helping me complete all of my taxes for the last three years.We have had thousands in savings on my CIS personal tax reclaims. Including all of the allowable expenses so I do not have to pay more tax than required.Managed to sort out my pensions refund for quite a few thousand as well.He is so helpful and polite and friendly and I am always welcome.I get a coffee and we go through our problems and he manages to complete my tax returns in a jiffi.Computers are not my favourite thing and I just don't know how he manages to whizz through the keyboard and the screens so much.Its really nice I trust him and the team. I can pop into the office whenever I want and no question is too difficult or worrying.I can call him on the phone whatsapp or just pop into the office in Pengam Green, Splott as required.Thanks very much to the whole team great accountancy firm near me.

Total Books is a godsend! I was a rather out of my depth with the legal requirements of running my company so Buhir spent a great deal of time explaining the various responsibilities and requirements. I have taken him on as my accountant due to the sheer breadth of knowledge he possesses. I can now get on with running my company safe in the knowledge that I have a professional and affordable accountant by my side.

Having just opened a new business, I was looking for an accountant, which would be able to give me professional advice at prices which I could afford. Total books matched perfectly. I took the time to meet a number of accoutants across the Cardiff area, however Buhir and his team stood out. They offered me tailored services to fit the need of my business, whilst also providing flexbility in terms of payment structure. I could not recommend Total Books highly enough. Furthermore, Buhir went above and beyond, always having time to anwser questions prior to my company being registered with him. Great guy and great company!!

15:34 28 Jul 20
Following a few years of receipt letter from HMRC staying I had underpaid tax and despite settling accounts and arrangeing payment plans, I still received an increasing number of letters informing I owed ever increasing amounts. I contacted Buhir at total books and he undertook a thorough review of my PAYE and self assessments for the past 5 years. Outcome... instead of owing HMRC £2500 I have actually over paid by around £5100 which is being returned.Without Buhir I would still be dreading another brown envelope landing on the door mat.

After a few years off "hands-off accounting" from my current firm the time came to reach out for some independent advice. Buhir conducted a thorough and professional review of my Limited (Ltd) company accounts and my personal tax situation. In the space of a couple of hours I'd learnt more than I had in the previous 4 years, and left with some clear next actions to address before submitting my accounts in January. The whole process was about as friendly and professional as you can imagine. Highly recommended.

I've been using Total Books for about 5 years and found them to be far more helpful than my previous accountants who persuaded me to go LTD company but gave no assistance in what I needed to do. Total Books provided me with some bespoke excel workbooks for entering my numbers and talked me through what I need to do. For the first time I've felt like I have a reasonable idea of how to run a limited company. I find them to be very competitively priced as well. Would definitely recommend them.

Absolutely delighted with the service I was given. I had quite complicated records going back 4 tax years. Buhir and Adil went above and beyond the call of duty, and worked incredibly efficiently. They achieved more in a single afternoon than I had in months trying to deal with HMRC and doing it alone, and discovered even more ways that I can claim back for tax relief that I was not aware of (and I'm pretty savvy!). Highly recommend them if you are looking for a personal tax accountant. Don't look around any further, you've find the right guys here!

Just changed accountants to start with Total Books a few weeks ago and I am totally amazed at the way they manage to mix total professionalism with warmth, humour and caring.Their attention to detail at every level of work within an accountancy practice coupled with total transparency could suggest a high fee paying structure but they even manage to tick the reasonable fees box.If you are a well established business that would like all of the above services or a new start-up get involved and be amazed, I am!

I have worked with Total Books Ltd (Cardiff) a year ago when they helped me out preparing and submitting my end of year tax return/capital gain.

Pleasure to leave a revue for Total Books.Briefly, I had searched (internet) around to find an accountant who would be willing to drive to my home in Bristol, and go through the last 3 years of my: ‘’Self-Assessment’’ tax returns – for a reasonable price, and while I was logged onto the HMRC website.After a few calls to different accountants, I stumbled on ‘Total Books’ and spoke with a bloke called Buhir.Buhir listened to my query, asked the right questions, and was even kind enough to suggest I seek someone more local to me, but my hunch after talking with him, was to call him back and ask him to take me on; for a one off 3 hour session fixed fee. Why? Because he was so straight forward, honest upfront, and had a kind voice.Few days later, Buhir arrived as planned, even though a little under the weather , so not to let me down, but with some chocolates as he was delayed a little. How thoughtful yet unnecessary – ‘how kind’.Buhir was a total gent. He went through EVERYTHING with a tooth combe. Spoke with the HMRC on the phone for me. Went through my tax returns as promised explaining everything as he was doing it and correcting my mistakes as he went along, and more e.g. pre prepared emails to send to HMRC to help put in expenses I had missed over the last 3 years.He was here more than 3 hours and didn’t charge for that time either btw.Buhir and Lee, thank you very much.Keef - Bristol

They took all our details and filed thde tax very quickly. I would Highly recommend especialy for our case with dental self assessment. They are very reliable, responsive and very respectful.

Investment is the best way to generate more income for yourself, trading and investing on a top-notch platform with a trustworthy, dependable and steadfast Forex broker like Mrs MORRIS BERTHA , I earned a profit of 25%-100% daily and a total of $14,000 after 6 days of effective trading and mining on my account. With the minimum capital of $1,000 I watched my profit grow daily until I made my withdrawal successfully through the market. The time and efforts you had put into this work that is beyond excellence. Take my cordial thanks! You are really an efficient, organized and result-oriented woman, I strongly recommend MORRIS BERTHA

I had a 15 minute call with Buhir and I was very impressed!Their packages seem very reasonably priced and they have a lot of experience to deal with all sorts of tax and accounting matters.He was friendly, professional and he answered a lot of my questions then and there!And the more complex ones he wasn't able to answer in the little time we had, he was able to either explain the general process of how he could help with more time, or give me a recommendation of a specialist who could help, or he was able to tell me where to start looking for the information.When I told him I was lined up to speak with another accountant before deciding who to go with, he was very friendly about this and even gave me some tips on what to look for and ask, and said he was fine even if we went with someone else because it was about it feeling right and about the client getting the right help they need - and it felt like he was genuine about this!With how much value I received just from this 15 minute call, with how much he seemed to genuinely care about helping people, and with how easy he was to get along with, I would highly recommend Total Books to anyone!It's rare when someone leaves such a good impression after only a few minutes, that you feel they deserve a review (before you have even started working with them).We very well could be working with Total Books soon...

I got my CGT assessment done by Total Books . I found Buhir's work as exceptionally professional, thorough and well priced. His ability to understand complex tax related issues and offer almost spontaneous advice/solutions is remarkable. His approach is very ethical and honest, I would very highly recommend him for any accounting and tax related matters.

Including all of the allowable expenses so I do not have to pay more tax than required.Managed to sort out my pensions refund for quite a few thousand as well.He is so helpful and polite and friendly and I am always welcome.I get a coffee and we go through our problems and he manages to complete my tax returns in a jiffi.Computers are not my favourite thing and I just don't know how he manages to whizz through the keyboard and the screens so much.Its really nice I trust him and the team.

Following a few years of receipt letter from HMRC staying I had underpaid tax and despite settling accounts and arrangeing payment plans, I still received an increasing number of letters informing I owed ever increasing amounts. I contacted Buhir at total books and he undertook a thorough review of my PAYE and self assessments for the past 5 years. Outcome... instead of owing HMRC £2500 I have actually over paid by around £5100 which is being returned.Without Buhir I would still be dreading another brown envelope landing on the door mat.
