R&D Tax Specialist | Haines Watts
Terry is a North West based, chartered accountant and owner of Haines Watts R&D (North West). He is a tax specialist and business owner with a passion for helping companies of all sizes. Terry leads two specialist teams based in Altrincham and Liverpool: together they have achieved tax savings of £65.6 million in the last 66 months.
Terry was working on behalf of a client that required a B Corp Certified M&A consultant and therefore approached CapEQ, a-like minded company whose values align well with our own. B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
On working with the CapEQ team, Terry says, "The partnership we have with CapEQ came about during August 2020 when the pandemic hit, we all had to shift the way we operated to online methods and networking was no different. I contacted Mark through LinkedIn as I had a requirement to find a company that cared about their social impact and it was important to the business I was advising (who also had high standards of social governance) that they practice what they preach; it had to be complementary to their offering hence choosing CapEQ who are B Corp certified.
CapEQ were a perfect fit and spent the time with me to understand my client’s needs, and as we ourselves embark on our own transition into becoming a B Corp Certified business, they were the ideal partners to support us as a sounding board.
Becoming more sustainable is not just the right thing to do but it also makes perfect business sense, we all need to take responsibility for the world around us and whilst it may not be easy to make changes, they will pay off in the long term."
