What clients say

"Debbie Wilson has handled my, my wife's and my family affairs as well as that of an Employment Benefit Trust with which I am associated for over ten years. Her attention to detail is absolutely superb, and her wise counsel is hugely appreciated. She always responds quickly and keeps detailed records of past transactions going back years which, in the case of Inheritance Tax issues, is absolutely essential.

When I sold my company to a London plc, Hillier Hopkins Corporate Finance department handled all the tax planning and they worked seamlessly with our lawyers and Debbie with great effect.

I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hillier Hopkins as a firm, and Debbie Wilson in particular." Nicholas H Taylor, Commercial Director, Chime Communications plc

"I have found Debbie Wilson very professional. I chose her to look after my interests because I was impressed by her knowledge concerning CGT and IHT. I had spoken to several accountants prior to her who did not have immediate answers to my queries. Debbie is very friendly and helpful and immediately puts people at their ease. She is helping me a lot at present, coming up with the latest pros and cons. I would recommend her to anyone especially in the tax implications area." Sheila O’Neill, Head Teacher

"I am very impressed with Debbie, she is very easy to talk to and explains things in a way that is simple to understand. She is really efficient and I was pleased with how she dealt with a complex tax issue recently. Nothing is too much trouble for Debbie, she is always helpful and cheerful whenever I speak to her."  Peter Perrett
