Profit & Tax
Optimisation
Most businesses overpay tax. Not through negligence, through a lack of structured advisory. We identify what your accountant hasn't, implement strategies that work, and reduce your exposure across corporate and personal tax.

Structured.
Strategic. Measurable.
We do not offer generic tax tips. Every review is built around your specific structure, your transactions and your goals. You receive a written strategy with clear projections, not a conversation about what you might consider doing.
We review your corporate structure, remuneration approach and key transactions to identify where tax is being overpaid and where relief is being missed.
A written plan with specific recommendations, projected savings and the rationale behind each strategy. Delivered within two weeks of engagement.
We work with you and your existing advisors to implement changes correctly, ensuring each strategy is applied in compliance with current legislation.
Quarterly reviews to ensure your position stays optimised as your business grows, as legislation changes and as new opportunities arise.
Most businesses overpay tax not because they want to, but because nobody has reviewed the full picture. We change that.

What businesses ask
before they start.
Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often.
The review covers four main areas: corporate structure (group arrangements, holding companies, profit extraction routes), remuneration planning (salary, dividends, pension contributions, director loan accounts and benefits in kind), capital gains and disposal planning (Business Asset Disposal Relief, holdover relief, timing of disposals), and VAT and indirect tax (partial exemption, group registration, land and property elections). We examine how these areas interact across your entities and model alternative approaches before recommending any changes. You receive a written strategy report with projected savings, not a verbal conversation or a list of things to consider.
The figure varies depending on your turnover, structure and the complexity of your transactions. Across our engagements, the typical saving identified is in excess of £50,000 per review. In many cases the figure is considerably higher, particularly where group structures are involved, where there has been no formal remuneration planning, or where significant assets have been disposed of without structured CGT advice. The fixed fee cost of the review is a fraction of the savings identified in most cases. We present projected savings in the report so you can make an informed decision before committing to any change.
No. We work alongside your existing accountant, not instead of them. Our role is purely strategic advisory, identifying where your tax position can be improved and providing a written plan for implementation. Your accountant continues to handle compliance, filing and day-to-day accounting. Where implementation requires specific actions, we work directly with your existing advisors to ensure changes are applied correctly. Many of our clients have long-standing relationships with their accountants and have no intention of moving. That is not required to benefit from a tax optimisation review.
Yes, entirely. We do not recommend tax avoidance schemes, artificial arrangements or anything that sits outside current legislation. Every strategy we recommend is based on legitimate tax reliefs, elections and structures provided for within UK tax law. The goal is to ensure you are claiming everything you are entitled to, structuring your affairs efficiently and not paying more than the legislation requires, nothing more. Bharat Varsani is a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant regulated by ACCA, and all advisory work is carried out within that professional and regulatory framework.
The review is delivered within two weeks of engagement on a fixed fee basis. Following an initial call to understand your structure and gather the information we need, we begin the analysis immediately. The written strategy report is presented to you within the two-week window, with a follow-up session to walk through the findings and recommendations. If you need to make decisions ahead of a specific filing date or transaction, we can often accommodate an accelerated timeline. Contact us directly to discuss your timeframe.
