Hi,I recently went to Churchill Tax Advisers as I needed a customised and tailored tax plan for my business. I was introduced to Jamal Khan who was the owner and chartered accountant for the business.Jamal Khan was initially very amicable and friendly. He came across as very knowledgeable and he gave the impression that he cared about my business and he had lots of experience with HMRC.I used to be an accountant myself but I do not have the time or means to do accountancy. It has been over 2 decades since I have done any sort of accounting.When I had paid Jamal Khan a considerable sum of money, I expected a tax strategy that could save my business a lot of money and keep me out of trouble with HMRC.When I paid Jamal, he went radio silent and was not responding to emails and was always "busy" according to his secretary. I could not get through to him. This was the first sign that things were about to get worse.Keep in mind I am incredibly busy and I do not live close to his office so I did not go there myself.After a few weeks of calling, I received an email with the tax strategy. A few days later I read the email and my jaw dropped. At first I thought it was a joke or an error and I emailed him back. He responded and acted confused and said that he had done his job and would be executing the strategy he had outlinedThe "tax strategy" Jamal had produced was nothing short of amateur - I am a bit rusty on my accountancy knowledge but even I could tell that what he had produced was terrible. I immediately told him to hold off before he did anything crazy.If I did not do that, I would have been in very serious trouble with HMRC and my business which employs 10+ people would have completely gone under. The sneaky part is that Jamal would not have got in trouble whatsoever had he executed my strategy - the agreement states that he is not responsible. DO NOT SIGN AN AGREEMENT WITH THIS MAN!When I called him (and he was suddenly "available" again), he became cold and told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. I was incredibly patient with him but Jamal cannot see reason. He then threatened to involve his lawyers.I then decided to cut things short and I was willing to pay him for what he had done so far. NOPE!Jamal wanted all of the money (that included the money for executing his plan) - I refused and he then threatened litigation.Jamal Khan is a very devious and deceptive man. If he does not get his way, he will threaten litigation. Beware!
