Ian Marlow's Biography

Ian started HfM Tax & Business Services from his back room, offering tax and accountancy services to individuals and small businesses. It has grown significantly since then and has now expanded to serve several hundred clients, both personal taxpayers and businesses owners of all kinds. While running the business he studied for an MBA in Small Business Administration in order to serve clients (and run his own business) better. Ian started specialising in personal tax but particularly enjoys helping people start and grow small businesses. He believes passionately that good advice at the start of a business can save many difficulties down the road, but that such advice is all too often either difficult to find or almost unintelligible to the business owner. Explaining the key issues in understandable form has therefore been one of the keys to the growth of his own business.
