I cannot recommend Spence Clarke highly enough! They may appear to cost more than others, but the quality of their work and the personalized care they offer makes their service a bargain – tax rebates appear, costs decrease, and stress reduces. Highly recommended!
What sets Spence Clarke apart is their ability to take complex situations — like the embargoes and financial complications we faced (caused by a cheaper firm!) —and simplify them into clear, actionable steps. Martina and Alicia walked me through everything in plain English, ensuring I fully understood each aspect of the process. No question was too small or too complicated; they patiently explained every detail until I felt confident moving forward.
Thanks to their meticulous attention to detail and strategic advice, what initially felt like an overwhelming situation slowly but surely transformed into a smooth and well-managed process. They not only resolved the immediate issues but also provided guidance to prevent future complications.
Another thing I greatly appreciated was the transparency about pricing. They were very clear about what their fees included and outlined any potential extras upfront, so there were no surprises. This level of honesty and clarity made it easy to trust them and focus on the steps and decisions I needed to take.
If you're looking for a business accounting team who delivers exceptional service, clear communication, and peace of mind I can’t recommend Martina and Alicia at Spence Clarke highly enough.

After my husband died here in Spain, I was suddenly left without health insurance of my own.
I initially met with Claudia from Spence Clarke, who involved her colleague Eva Moreno to help deal with the Spanish bureaucracy in order to get my entitlement for national healthcare back.
Eva was very professional and helpful. She even accompanied me to the Social Security office in Marbella to get things sorted, which they were eventually ( it took some patience on our part), thanks to her help.
I would definitely recommend the friendly and knowledgeable team at Spence Clarke.

We'd been through several accountants before we found Claudia and Madeleine. Professional, personable and responsive. Highly recommend their services.

I have been using Spence Clarke for 2 years now and the service is very good - I only wish they would offer a UK tax return service also as it would make my life easier having all tax affairs with one accountant rather than two.

After various bad experiences with other accountants, we decided to move to Spence Clarke and it is the best business decision we've made!! Dario is fantastic and so helpful in explaining the complex tax and accounting systems in Spain. He's become an essential piece of our small business!

My husband and I were looking for an accountant to assist us navigating the Spanish tax minefield as well as explain the differences / things we need to take into account when structuring wills, all of the above being slightly more complicated as we own a limited company in the UK. Michael Egan from Spence Clarke was able to break down all our queries into individual requirements and help us put a high-level plan of action together of the things we need to get in place, so that we can continue our dream of living abroad. We've had a number of calls with various accountants and financial advisers and this is the first time that we felt we were speaking to someone who could truly advise us moving forward. We are now onboarding as clients and look forward to working with Spence Clarke for all our Spanish tax and legal requirements.

We switched to Spence Clarke on recommendation. We had an initial zoom meeting with Claudia and we discussed our finances in detail. Claudia answered all our questions and explained the Spanish Tax system simply. We have lived in Spain for 15 years and wish we had known about Claudia and her team then. When it claim to filing our tax declarations we received detailed instructions which made it simple for us. We returned the information and Madeleine called us to confirm everything and explain the next step etc. Everything went smoothly and Claudia emailed us back our tax declarations to review. These were then filed and tax declaration completed and filed by mid April. Thank you Spence Clarke a very professional and efficient service and very knowledgable personnel who really know what the tax system.

My old accountants messed up, which in Spain means that you yourself are liable. I was penalized pretty severely by the tax office, suffered substantial losses (fines, forfeited reduced taxes, etc.) worth close to €10k.
I contacted Alistair Clarke and he helped me navigate this mine field of Spanish bureaucracy very well.
Spain is a socialist country, so if you are looking to create your own company or work as freelancer, there is a minefield of red tape you will need experienced accountants like S&C to help you navigate with the least amount of damages.

I highly recommend them and their various teams, all of whom are very capable, from personal to business accounting.
