Richard has been an invaluable support in managing my late mother's affairs since her passing last year. His promptness in responding to inquiries and his vast expert knowledge have made a challenging time much easier for me. Whether he was getting probate granted, submitting Inheritance Tax documents or negotiating with the Revenue Office, I knew that my mother's affairs were in very safe hands. In turn, this allowed me to focus on my family and other administrative tasks. I highly recommend Richard for anyone needing reliable accounting assistance, under whichever circumstance.

A complete expert. Nothing is too much trouble and he has sorted out my divorce by advising my solicitor to ensure I had a brilliant deal enabling me to be financially independent and secure my future. I have used him to challenge state pension underpayment and ensuring I have a good savings rate.

Richard Smith, The Finance Zone - Probate Application Service, the best thing you can do for yourself, to work through a challenging time. Richard assisted me through my families grant of probate application. I was tempted to tackle the application myself, but I am so glad I didn't. Richard was able to successful gain the grant of probate within an incredibly short time frame.
