WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

“David Herd’s response impressed me from the start as he was extremely knowledgeable in this area; his confidence and optimism of a successful claim ultimately swayed my decision to choose Champion. 

Having already researched the requirements, I collated more than 100 pages of evidence to show HMRC exactly how and why the property was deemed uninhabitable. David meticulously went through this evidence and built a strong case around it before presenting it in a way that would meet HMRC guidelines.”

“We were introduced to Champion before we launched our business in 2012 and have been a client ever since our incorporation. There is no doubt that Champion has contributed to our existential growth during this time period, as the team’s services have been invaluable to us on every step of our journey. Initially, we appointed them to undertake bookkeeping and management accounts, but Champion now provides a holistic service across our entire business, including ongoing strategic advice about the steps we can take to expand our operations further.
