Latest press release: 17 Feb 2010 - IFAs in line for new tax penalties
The Tax Advice Network is the largest network of independent tax advisers in the UK.
We've been described as a tax dating agency! In fact we are a 21st century solution to a growing need as tax law becomes ever more complex.
The Network incorporates a number of modern developments:
- Ratings and feedback (inspired by Ebay, Amazon and Ecademy)
- Online networking amongst the members (inspired by Ecademy, Facebook, Linkedin and other online networks)
- Outsourcing (saving on the employment costs and related employment law obligations)
- Virtual teams (whereby the accountants and tax advisers can work together without being in the same city, let alone the same building)
The business was inspired partly by virtue of the 3 years that Mark Lee spent running the tax support for professionals operation at a large consultancy (2001-2004). In effect he has replicated the best bits of that service but removed the bits that the accountancy clients disliked - the high charges (to cover London overheads and profit margins), the central London location and the link with an accountancy firm.
Mark Lee, FCA, CTA (Fellow), the founder of the Tax Advice Network, is a former Chairman of the ICAEW Tax Faculty. He has been a tax partner in two of the largest firms of chartered accountants and is well known as a speaker and writer on tax and business development issues for accountants.
He is available for interview and speaking engagements and can be contacted via the Tax Advice Network: 0845 003 8780 or his mobile: 07769 692 890
