Claims against Accountants
Putting your financial affairs in the hands of an accountant takes a substantial level of trust as you are putting your financial affairs in their hands. If they let you down the subsequent consequences on your financial situation could be severe and far reaching.
In such a situation, you could be eligible to make a compensation claim for professional negligence against the accountant in question. Our solicitors are experts in this field and will help you every step of the way, often on a “no win no fee” basis.

Our Process
The first thing we will do when you come to us with an accountant dispute is to work out whether the claim is likely to be successful or not. We will consider whether the accountant’s services fell below the type of standard you would expect from a reasonably competent accountant. Also, it will need to be proven that you suffered financial losses as a result of their negligence.
Getting hold of this information is not simple or straightforward, and we will need to carefully study all of the relevant paperwork and possibly even get a second opinion from another accountant.
We will ensure that we are honest and open with you about the progress of the case and our opinions on the likelihood of success.
Examples of Professional Negligence Claims Against Accountants
There are a wide range of reasons why you may claim against an accountant. Examples include:
- Negligent Tax Advice
- Failing to identify a problem that should have been identified at an audit
- Overvaluing of a company’s assets
