A personal, trust-first website for an award-winning independent tax adviser.

Lewis Sindle — an independent tax adviser HMRC-regulated, award-winning as Cambridgeshire’s Best Accountant at England’s Business Awards, and carrying on a family tradition started by his grandfather — needed a website that felt as approachable and trustworthy as his service. We built a personal, clearly structured site that leads with his award credentials, explains his services with plain language, and makes getting in touch straightforward.

The Client

About L Sindle Tax Advice

L Sindle Tax Advice is an independent tax advisory practice operated by Lewis Sindle, an HMRC-regulated and supervised tax adviser with over ten years of experience. The business was founded in a family tradition — Lewis’s grandfather started the practice decades ago with a mission to make tax advice clear, honest, and accessible. Winner of Cambridgeshire’s Best Accountant at England’s Business Awards, Lewis provides self-assessment tax returns, CIS subcontractor rebates, business accounts, payroll, VAT, HMRC correspondence management, and Companies House ID verification — with home visits available at no extra cost during evenings and weekends.

The Challenge

An award-winning, HMRC-regulated adviser with a genuine personal story needed a website that communicated trust and approachability as strongly as his credentials.

The award wasn’t being used

Winning Cambridgeshire’s Best Accountant is a significant, independently verified trust signal. It was on the site but not positioned where it could do the conversion work it deserved.

The family legacy not communicated

A grandfather-founded practice continued across generations is a remarkable differentiator in an industry dominated by corporate firms. The story was there but not being told properly.

A complex service range in plain language

Self-assessment, CIS rebates, end-of-year accounts, payroll, VAT, HMRC correspondence, and Companies House verification needed to be explained clearly to clients who are not accountants themselves.

Home visit offering underused

Evening and weekend home visits at no extra cost is a genuinely unusual and valuable differentiator. It needed prominent positioning.

The Brief

A clear set of priorities

The new site needed to feel honest, personal and credible — warm enough to feel approachable, professional enough to earn confidence for financial matters.

  • Lead with the England’s Business Awards win prominently
  • Tell the family origin story as part of the brand
  • Explain all services clearly in plain language with individual pages
  • Position the home visit offering as a key differentiator
  • Create clear contact routes for personal tax and business clients separately
  • Build Cambridgeshire-focused local SEO
The Approach

Built around the people using it

We started with the self-employed person or small business owner who finds tax stressful and is looking for someone they can trust to handle it properly. The site needed to say “this person understands your situation and will sort it out” from the very first scroll.

/ Structure

Award win and personal introduction above the fold. Individual service pages for individuals (self-assessment, CIS, capital gains) and businesses (accounts, payroll, VAT). HMRC correspondence and Companies House pages for more specialist needs.

/ Design

Warm but professional visual system — personal photography of Lewis, clean typography, approachable colour palette — that positions a solo adviser as credibly as any larger firm.

/ Development

WordPress with Divi, with individual service page templates, an award display section, a home visit availability callout, and straightforward click-to-call and email CTAs throughout.

/ Search optimisation

Homepage targeting independent tax adviser Cambridgeshire and self-assessment tax return Cambridgeshire. CIS subcontractor page targeting CIS rebate Cambridgeshire. Business services page targeting small business accountant Cambridgeshire.
