Tina Jenkins, ADV Accountancy

Services to law firmsThe most common issues we help legal clients solve:

Struggles with compliance, whether it be HMRC or the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Reports that aren’t easy to interpret or understand.
- 05
Worries with VAT: lengthy inspections, surcharges on late returns and inappropriate VAT claims.
- 06
Tax implications of inaccurate WIP, affecting both liability and cash flow.

Inaccurate pricing through lack of knowledge of overheads and chargeable hours.
- 08
Debt problems through lack of planning, slow billing and ineffective handling of bad debts.
“We have been using ADV Accountancy for general accounting advice, preparation of annual accounts and VAT advice since we started our niche legal practice in 2016. Tina Jenkins’ expert knowledge of accounting for legal practices has been invaluable to us. Our accounts and VAT returns are always prepared in good time and our questions are always picked up quickly. Tina always makes time to explain points and field our questions, and ADV Accountancy have taken the time to really understand our business. We would highly recommend ADV Accountancy to any business.”
“Tina and her team have been instrumental to the growth of Newfields. Responsive and pragmatic with a keen eye for detail, Tina is, for me, a business partner who is experienced in the sector. She understands the ‘business’ of law together with the industry’s regulatory intricacies, the result of which is a great partnership.”
“It has been nine years since ADV Accountancy Ltd has looked after our finances. Tina and her team always offer great advice. We owe Tina the fact that we are on the market today. Six years ago, when I moved to Spain, I wanted to close the business, as running the business from abroad looked impossible. However, thanks to Tina’s advice, we have not only kept the business open, but we have also grown ten times since then. Over the years, it felt like a partnership rather than a simple service supplier, as they truly care about Mistev EHC. Thank you.”
“I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Tina Jenkins, who has been my accountant for the past 11 years. Tina’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication have been invaluable to both my personal and business financial management. Her proactive approach, attention to detail, and deep understanding of tax regulations have saved me significant time and money over the years. I highly recommend Tina Jenkins to anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable accountant.”
“I have been working with Tina from ADV Accountancy since 2018. When I moved to be self employed I was extremely nervous about the rules and my obligations but Tina made me feel like I was in safe hands. When I moved to set up my own regulated law firm I didn’t hesitate to remain with Tina and the transition has been near seamless. She is a patient, generous support, but also firm and direct, which is the exact balance I need for my business.”
“We have been a client of Adv Accountancy for a number of years. I would describe Tina and her staff as responsible, knowledgeable and professional. They are easy to work alongside with a hands-on friendly attitude. This year they have helped us with Xero and are always happy to take time to discuss issues if they arise. I would highly recommend Tina and her staff.”
“I have used the services of ADV Accountancy for a few years now and can only praise the way my accounts are managed. Any queries are always dealt with quickly and efficiently. They go over and above, even being available and dealing with issues outside of normal working hours. I highly recommend them.”
“When I approached Tina I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could understand the pressures and trajectory of a law firm start up. I felt alone. I need not have worried though. Tina is absolutely expert on understanding the structure and growth of a law firm. She took on my business with no fuss and with a positive and complementary outlook. This was a huge mental boost at a time where I felt fragile.”
