Meet Robin

The adviser behind the practice.

Robin Thatcher founded By The Book Accountancy in 2020 to be the kind of firm he would want himself: technically sharp, commercially minded, and genuinely on your side. He leads the practice and works directly with clients, from growing companies to landlords, online sellers, and individuals with more complex affairs.

His approach is practical and plain-speaking. Get the compliance right without fuss, then spend the real energy on the decisions that make a difference: how you are structured, what you keep, and what comes next.

Robin is also a recognised specialist in cryptocurrency tax and a regular speaker on tax and business, on stages ranging from Bitcoin conferences to the UK accountancy circuit.

What we stand for

How we work.

The name is the promise. Here is what that means in practice.

Done properly

Accurate, compliant, and on time, every time. No shortcuts and no surprises.

Plain English

Complex tax explained in language you can actually use, with no jargon.

One point of contact

You deal with the person doing the work, not a rotating team.

Proactive

We look ahead and act in time, not just report the numbers after the event.

Modern & cloud-first

The right software, set up well, so your numbers are always live.

Genuinely specialist

Real depth in ecommerce, property, and crypto, where it counts.

Let's talk about your numbers.

A friendly, no-obligation first conversation is the easiest way to see if we are the right fit.
