David Couch Consulting

About David Couch Consulting

Established in March 2015 by a brother and sister team, this Douglas practice looks after small businesses and individuals in both the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom. Its clients include sole traders, limited companies and technology start-ups, and it also helps people planning a move to the island with tax and accounting guidance and introductions to local contacts for housing, banking and schooling. The business is a small family-run team made up of two founding partners, a senior manager, an office manager and a client accountant. Fixed monthly packages and published onboarding and formation fees make costs easy to compare, and clients get access to cloud accounting software at no extra charge. Handling research and development tax relief claims for UK clients is another stated speciality.
