ABOUT CHRIS
A personal approach to accountancy and tax
I’m Chris Clark, director of CJC Accountancy Ltd and a Fellow of the Association of Accounting Technicians (FMAAT).
I’ve been qualified in accountancy since 2012 and have been running my own practice since 2019. During my career, I have gained extensive experience working with clients and preparing tax returns across a wide range of personal and business tax circumstances.
One of the reasons I established CJC was the opportunity to work with different businesses and individuals, each with their own circumstances, challenges and objectives.
What I particularly value is the opportunity to develop long-standing professional relationships and understand the people behind the figures.
For me, accountancy is about more than preparing accounts or completing tax returns. It’s about applying technical knowledge to each client’s circumstances, explaining the relevant considerations clearly and helping them understand their options.

WHO CJC WORKS WITH
Individuals, directors and owner-managed businesses
CJC works with clients throughout the UK, mainly remotely.

THE WIDER PICTURE
Understanding the whole picture
No two clients are the same, and tax advice rarely exists in isolation.
A person’s tax position can be influenced by their employment, investments, business interests, family circumstances, residence status and future plans.

I enjoy working through complicated situations, establishing the relevant facts and understanding how different aspects of a client’s financial circumstances fit together.
Sometimes effective tax advice requires looking beyond an individual transaction or tax return. Taking the time to understand a client’s wider circumstances and existing arrangements allows me to provide advice that’s relevant to their particular needs.
CHRIS CLARK, FMAAT
Why the work continues to interest me
Tax is constantly evolving. Legislation evolves, individual circumstances change, and what was appropriate in one tax year may need to be reconsidered in another.
I enjoy that challenge. It encourages me to keep developing my technical knowledge, question assumptions and approach each situation on its own merits.
The variety of the work, combined with the opportunity to investigate and resolve complicated tax questions, is what makes the profession rewarding for me.
Above all, I value the relationships that develop over time. Understanding a client’s circumstances, communicating clearly and being someone they feel comfortable approaching are central to how I want CJC to operate.
