A decade of getting the numbers right — and the people, too
HK Accountax began in 2015 with a simple conviction: that accountancy is at its best when it starts with understanding the person behind the figures.
Built in High Wycombe, grown by word of mouth
We set up shop on Crendon Street in 2015 with a straightforward idea: run the kind of accountancy firm we'd want as business owners ourselves. One that picks up the phone. One that explains things. One that treats your numbers as if they were our own.
Ten years on, that idea has carried us further than any marketing budget could. We've grown almost entirely through referrals — clients who stayed, then sent their friends, their suppliers, their family. Today we look after a genuinely diverse mix of businesses and individuals across Buckinghamshire and the Thames Valley, from first-year start-ups to established companies with teams to pay and boards to answer to.
What hasn't changed is the standard: proper Chartered Certified expertise, delivered with the warmth and responsiveness of a firm that still knows every client by name.
Top-quality professional services, with a genuinely personal touch
We're here to take the numbers off your plate and the worry off your mind — so you can get back to the work you actually love. That means understanding your business, not just processing it; keeping you compliant without the drama; and always telling you the truth, in plain English.
Four principles, no compromises
Personal
You get a named accountant who knows your business and your name — not a call centre and a reference number.
Proactive
We flag opportunities and deadlines before they arrive, so you're always a step ahead of the taxman.
Precise
Chartered Certified rigour on every figure. Accurate, compliant, and quietly optimised — every time.
Plain-English
No jargon, no waffle. We explain what things mean and what they mean for you, in words that make sense.
Understand the person first, and the numbers make sense.
- Clarity over
jargon - Foresight over
firefighting - Relationship over
a transaction
Pankaj Kothari, ACCA
Pankaj is the driving force behind HK Accountax — a Chartered Certified Accountant and approved ACCA member with a knack for making the complicated feel manageable. Clients tend to describe him the same way: straight-talking, quick to reply, and genuinely on their side.
His philosophy is simple, and it shapes the whole firm: understand the person first, and the numbers will make sense. Whether he's guiding a nervous founder through their first year or helping an established company plan its next move, the approach never changes — clarity over jargon, foresight over firefighting, and a real relationship over a transactional one.
"I've never wanted to run a firm that just files things. I want us to be the people clients call before they make a decision — not after."PKPankaj Kothari

Four steps, from hello to genuinely useful
A calm, proven path that makes switching easy and working with us feel effortless.
Discover
We start by understanding your business — how it earns, what worries you, and where you want to be. No tax-speak yet, just a proper conversation.
Onboard
We handle the switch end to end: records from your old accountant, HMRC authorisations, and your cloud software set up and ready to go.
Deliver
The core work — accounts, tax, VAT, payroll — done accurately and filed on time, with reminders before deadlines, never after.
Advise
The bit that actually moves the needle: proactive, plain-English advice on the decisions that shape your numbers and your growth.
What "ACCA member firm" actually means for you
It's not just letters after a name. As an approved ACCA member firm, we're held to the standards of one of the world's most respected accountancy bodies.
Rigorously qualified
Chartered Certified status means years of exams, real-world experience and continuous professional development — kept current, every year.
Held to a code
We work to the ACCA's ethical and technical standards, with professional indemnity cover and proper oversight behind everything we file.
Your money, protected
Client money rules, data protection and quality checks aren't optional extras for us — they're the baseline you're entitled to.
Proud to be Buckinghamshire's
We're not a faceless national chain routing you to a call centre three counties away. We're on Crendon Street in High Wycombe, part of the same local economy as the businesses we serve — which means when you need us, you can actually come in, sit down, and have a cup of tea while we sort it.
A growing team, the same values
As HK Accountax grows, so does the team around Pankaj — carefully chosen people who share the same commitment to clarity, care and getting it right. Whoever you work with, you'll get the standard the firm was built on.
