About us
We provide a wide range of specialised tax services to clients who have, or anticipate future, tax problems with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
Palmer & Cook was founded in 2008 by independent chartered tax advisor Sean Palmer (BSc Econ, ATT, CTA) and has two offices in Bristol and London.
As an ex-Inspector of Taxes and former Ernst & Young manager, Sean has spent more than 20 years working on both sides of the tax industry, at one time leading HMRC investigations and at others defending clients against them.
Sean is a highly-regarded tax consultant and tax accountant who specialises in Tax Investigations and Tax Risk Management.
During his career he has helped minimise the tax liabilities of private individuals and small and medium-sized (SME) business through to FTSE 100 and Blue Chip companies.
This experience has left us uniquely qualified in being able to provide tax advice and resolve tax problems in a way which can withstand the intense scrutiny of HMRC.
This is because we have first-hand knowledge of HRMC operating procedures, giving us an invaluable insight in how best to advise clients on the complex tactics and strategies HMRC employs.
We are passionate about defending all our clients – big or small – within the limits of the law and always work to the same, simple philosophy: “If we can help we will. If we can’t, we’ll let you know at the outset.”
Our aim is to make any HMRC enquiry, investigation, internal tax audit or review as painless as possible and to save your time and money.
We also believe that, as far as possible, prevention is better than cure which is why we recommend all our clients carry out regular Tax Health Checks of their accounting systems and procedures.
We’re always willing to assist with any kind of tax query and happy to talk through any tax issues or problems with you and your company.
