Y R Associates

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Feb 11th, 2022

We had just sold our home before the lockdown and wanted to pay the Capital Gains Tax as quickly as possible in order to purchase a new home. We were originally with another accountant in Balham, but they were quoting over 600+ for one tax return and we had to do this for two people. Additionally, they took ages to respond to our request and when we finally got through to them, they blamed it on the fact they were working from home, had issues with internet and had children to look after. As much as I can empathise with this, I found it quite unprofessional and their lack of sincerity was enough for me to switch. I searched locally and came across YR Associates online, I gave them a call and spoke with a gentleman named Divyash who was very helpful and informative on the process. He provided me a quote which was half the price of the other accountant (300+) per tax return. Although there were only a few google reviews for this firm, we gave them the benefit of the doubt and they did not disappoint. Covid slowed certain HMRC processes (as is to be expected) but Divyash saw us through each stage of the process, helping us to register for self assessment, giving guidance on timeframes and calling/emailing us if he required certain information. He was always clear on what we needed to provide and he managed to save us an extra 7000 in tax due to his hard work and research for our case. We have since paid our CGT and purchased a new home in the midst of this pandemic. I would like to thank Divyash for his assistance throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend this firm. Hopefully we will not be called on for self assessments next year as we no longer own two homes, but Divyash was very reassuring that if we had any issues for the next tax year, we should let him know and he would look into this on our behalf. Thank you Divyash for all your hard work and if we have any further queries, we will be sure to come back to you.

Have used them for a long time. Really good people and great service

Terrible accountants, slow on take up of "new technology". They are unable to take card payments. Instead threaten their clients with county court judgements if they don't use their old fashioned way of taking money. My tip to Y R Associate director Divyash Patel: set up Paypal, Stripe or any number of payment provision, alternatively talk to your bank to help you set up card payments. Am now with Accotax, half the price and twice as much service. And yes they can take card payments. Just read their long list of enthusiastic reviews and compare with just the one positive review for Y R Associates from five years ago, despite the business being in the family for a couple of generations. Listless and bored.
