“I would like to recommend Blick Rothenberg for excellent assistance with my tax returns over the past several years. My returns have been complex and required a high degree not only of tax knowledge, but also of working closely with me and my corporation… Having also worked with the big companies in these matters, I found Blick Rothenberg to be more attentive to my matters, and willing to go the extra mile, all whilst being completely above board and transparent with HRMC. They have my full endorsement.” Global director, large listed company

The best service We are committed to remain of a size where continuity and personal attention is a priority. We combine the experience of a large organisation with the approachability of a smaller personal adviser. We are proud of our heritage and our culture, and place emphasis upon quality of service, meeting our clients’ needs and leading-edge technology. At Blick Rothenberg each client is provided with a personal service. Our clients have a dedicated tax advisor who provides a responsive, pro-active service, and who takes the time to understand their individual needs. We do not use call centres, helplines or difficult to use web-based tax organisers. We invest significant resources to deliver a consistently high quality service to our clients.

“We believe that even in a technological world, a tax advisor should still make its clients feel special”

“I engaged Blick Rothenberg’s services to help guide my company through specific complex expatriate tax issues. Throughout, Blick Rothenberg has always delivered on time and above my own expectations. Blick Rothenberg has also been able to provide ad- hoc advice through a framework that has provided excellent value for money.” Executive director, global company based in the UK

Excellent value, transparent fees We offer a broad range of services to help employers, employees, directors, individuals and entrepreneurs who are working outside of their home country to manage their tax obligations and maximise tax planning opportunities. Value is a key driver as organisations and individuals look for a top quality service whilst trying to reduce costs. As a boutique firm, Blick Rothenberg has lower operating costs than most larger firms and we are able to provide excellent value and transparent fees.

Our clients We provide expatriate tax services to many international organisations to help them manage their global workforce, ranging from well-known listed international companies to newly formed start-up businesses. The sophistication of our client base is, we believe, unique outside of the largest firms and enables us to attract and retain partners and staff of the highest quality and experience. Many of our team have previously worked at Big 4 firms. This relationship model continues to prove attractive to our broad range of clients, including as an alternative to the largest firms. We are regarded as thought-leaders in our field and are often asked to comment on topical tax issues. As a result our partners are regularly quoted in the national press and provide comment on television and radio. We build strong, long-lasting relationships and regard every client as unique. If you are considering changing your tax advisor, we will help you make the change as seamless as possible and draw on a wealth of experience from transitioning clients from many of the largest firms. We will bring a fresh viewpoint and are pro-active in identifying improvements and savings during the transition.
