I act for a number of elderly clients in preparing their tax returns and supporting them with tax advice as and when they need it. More often than not, I find that with my more elderly clients, our working relationship goes above and beyond the “norm” of what you would expect in accountant-client relationship.

Just recently I was contacted by one such client, an elderly widow of a farming client. She runs a small bed and breakfast business from the farmhouse and was calling because she had received a perplexing call from someone who said they were ringing from Google.
