What Our Clients Say

"I have worked with Matt Shallcrass for over five years, with Matt supporting my tax affairs including complex share transactions and property tax issues (nationally and internationally). The relationship is high trust with Matt de-mystifying my tax obligations in simple, no-nonsense language. He has consistently provided quality, technically robust advice, but has not forgotten the art of empathy. This dynamic has only strengthened now I am in the UK. Matt remains as responsive, literate in global tax procedure and collaborative as ever. My father offered simple, compelling wisdom: 'Retain high-quality professional advisors, you will not regret it.' Matt is one of those and is essential to my business confidence and peace of mind."

"Cashing out in crypto is something that I and many others dream about yet dread (due to) the tax implications. Matt Shallcrass was excellent, first of all by having a personal interest in Cryptocurrency he knew exactly what I was talking about. He clearly explained the current tax laws and gave options around how I could cash out. The process was smooth, communication was great and service was prompt. Couldn't have asked for more. I will continue to work with Matthew and highly recommend him to anyone in my situation."
