Download Directions > Life at Mercer & Hole in St Albans At our accountancy offices in St Albans, we combine the feel of a friendly, dynamic office with the opportunity to work with some of our influential UK clients. We have recently updated our office space to reflect the dynamic and flexible way in which we work alongside dedicated meeting rooms. Members of our firm can balance the way in which they work in the office, from home and out and about with clients. Our Partners work across the four Mercer & Hole offices including St Albans giving members of the firm plenty of opportunities to work alongside them and to benefit from their skill and experience. A beautiful and historic city St Albans is a rich and colourful city full of culture and history. It is built on perhaps the most important Roman settlement in England and is the site of the first War of the Roses. The cathedral stands where Saint Alban was buried over 1,700 years ago giving the city its modern name. Part of our community In addition to working with local businesses and individuals providing accounting and financial services, we at Mercer & Hole are part of the wider fabric of our community. We sponsor players at both the men’s and women’s St Albans football teams. In April 2024, we sponsored Write Now, an initiative aimed at supporting the future voices of St Albans spearheaded by the St Albans Times to give young people in St Albans the opportunity to share their opinions on local, national and global topics. As a firm, we are very much engaged with the long-term goals of helping young people to combat their anxiety surrounding the way negative news is shared on social media and to give them an important voice. In 2024, The St Albans team voted to support the Herts Young Homeless charity as this is a rising concern across the region. Herts Young Homeless work with 16–24-year-olds who are homeless or at risk of becoming so. They have undertaken several fundraising initiatives across the office and hope to raise not just money but awareness of the issues.

What we offer We are able to undertake probate work and deal with HMRC reporting, which means that we are best placed to advise on the tax implications of a gift for the recipient and our financial planning strength means we can take that advice further to help plan. It is possible to vary a Will through a Deed of Variation (or Deed of Family Arrangement), and there are a number of reasons why a family might want to do this. For example, the financial circumstances of beneficiaries may have changed (there may be additional children or grandchildren not included in the Will) or an additional gift to charity might qualify the estate for the discounted rate of inheritance tax. When considering the options, we can help to model what your asset position will look like to show the impact of our advice, so that you have a broad future plan before making any financial decisions. This allows you to take action with the confidence of knowing our advice and expertise has mirrored what you seek. We offer tax compliance services and our tax team provides a reliable service and will go the extra mile to ensure that all deadlines are met.

Speak to a specialist > We know every business has a different model, but we spend time understanding where and how the people fit in. Once we know who is critical to business success, we can explore with you options as to how best to approach motivating and incentivising your people to perform at their best. What we offer Your people are your most important asset. It is key to find the right way to incentivise your staff – cash or equity; shares or options; Christmas bonus or Christmas party. You have so many choices in how to reward everyone – and they all have tax consequences, just two examples would be: 1. Equity There is a huge difference (potentially around 50.8% in tax) between approved and unapproved share schemes. We can help you find the most appropriate share scheme. This is often, but not always, an Enterprise Management Incentive Scheme due to the tax breaks. We can help you to decide on when incentives should accrue – now or on an exit; and on quantum, a percentage of the whole or just of the future growth to reflect individual contribution. 2. Benefits in kind Getting things wrong on benefits can create a tax bill for your business or your staff, which is never welcome. As an example, take a Christmas party – if the cost per head is £149 there is no tax charge but at £151 per head either your business or the employees have to pay tax on the whole amount. An expensive £2! Once you have decided what you want to do, we can explain the tax implications and discuss any changes that would help to make things more tax efficient. We also provide Outsourcing and Payroll Services should you require our assistance in these areas.
