Bobby Chadda

"I particularly want to thank you for the open and transparent manner in which you have serviced my tax planning needs since I first met you seven or so years ago. In arranging my tax planning through you, I have confidence"

Michael Mahon

Retired gentleman

"Charles was really helpful from the outset and quickly clarified our situation for us... I have used Bluebond for  IHT and other tax advice and they have been very helpful with both. Charles is a very experienced and knowledgeable individual and I highly recommend Bluebond's services."

Sam Attenborough

Retired gentleman

I have used Bluebond for setting up a discretionary trust for my children as well as inheritance tax and estate planning for my home and  other properties. Having searched for years, it was only after meeting and speaking with Charles that I felt confident enough to take these next steps, and I'm very glad I did. His ability to explain complex issues in simple terms and walk you through every step of the process is quite simply unparalleled.

Imran Qureshi

Excellent and comprehensive advice concerning all things financial in one place. Enthusiastic, Educational, Expert, value oriented, Professional and Polite are adjectives that come to mind as well as great attention to detail.

Deirdre Buckley

Inheritance tax is a minefield. Charles de Lastic of Bluebond Tax Planning is the best in the business at helping you to chart the path that is right for you to ensure your estate is structured in the most tax efficient manner.

Nicholas Dickinson

Charles provides clients with valuable insights that clearly demonstrate expertise built over the years. Charles and his team guided us through a estate planning journey and then addressing complex Inheritance Tax matters. They have been very transparent with their advice and cost. Overall an excellent service. Highly recommended

What is special about your services?

The following are points we consider most important:

  • The emphasis we place on life planning for the future and regularly reviewing your situation.
  • Our long-term approach to client relationships – you will always deal with the same Adviser unless you agree to a change.
  • High quality staff to ensure a higher than usual level of service – we are prepared to accept a lower profit margin to achieve this.
  • A highly structured approach to the way we carry out any analytical work on your behalf.
  • Early adoption of the latest technology and approaches to business systems – we have developed our own unique computer software tools to help us ensure you receive an efficient and effective service.
  • Our range of skills and experience – our Advisers have more than 20 years’ experience in the tax planning profession.
  • Our programme of continuous professional development and determination to be competent, reliable, proactive and helpful.
  • All our fees are pre-agreed with you so you know exactly what it will cost you before we start working on your behalf.
  • Our quality of service guarantee.

The differences in the Bluebond approach are:

  • We will fully discuss all payment options with you at our first meeting.
  • Our role is that of trusted Adviser and not financial product salesperson.
  • We create long-term relationships with our clients to enable us to offer comprehensive and integrated help and guidance without bias.

The results of poor advice can be far more costly than the fees we charge.

What are the differences in your approach?

Advanced Tax Planning
System

We offer comprehensive tax planning service suitable for most clients.

  • We offer a review of your overall tax position to establish how best you can rearrange your financial affairs to avoid as much tax as possible.
  • We work together with a number of highly qualified tax accountants and tax Lawyers to provide tax solutions for people who have generated high potential liabilities in most types of tax, including corporation tax.
  • The service aims to reduce your overall tax liability by the use of both straightforward and more complex tax planning advice.

How will your services benefit me?

We recognise that people care most about legally avoiding tax as quickly and safely as possible without wasting money along the way.

  • We help you implement your inheritance tax and estate planning as simply and securely as possible.
  • We help you recognise and reduce the inherent risks in a way which considerably improves the likelihood of your success.
  • We help you do this by selecting and implementing the most appropriate strategies for you.
  • Firstly we would like to point out that it is very rare to get any sort of service guarantee from a professional services company.
  • We want you to be delighted with the work we do for you, and are therefore pleased to offer an unconditional service guarantee on your initial fee. If our service falls short of your expectations for any individual transaction, we will refund any amount that you consider to be appropriate, up to the total fee for that transaction, irrespective of our views.
