Testimonials
Business
We were naïve to the numerous filing requirements and US legislation, and our US accountant at the time was not knowledgeable about international companies. When I came across Rob Whittall, he explained the requirements simply and pointed out where we needed to alter our approach.
I am relieved that our business and taxes are in safe hands and delighted to have chosen DY USA as our accountants. We tidied up numerous historical inaccuracies and created a straight-forward and transparent correction with the IRS.
One of the most value pieces of working with DY USA is its one-to-one efficient system. The human element is so valuable, and time is freed up without lots of typical digital back and forth. If I have a question, it is answered swiftly and efficiently at any time. It’s not the typical annual scramble – everything works smoothly to a process but with a personal touch every time.
I recommend DY USA to anyone working transatlantic businesses!

I’m very pleased with the relationship we’ve developed with DY USA. The team obviously knows what they are doing and communicates clear and practical guidance for handling UK-US business and personal taxes. DY USA’s ability to fully address the cross-border taxes our company faces plus the guidance Rob provides based on his firsthand experience as a fellow business owner have been invaluable.

I’m an American citizen who started a business in the UK. I chose DY USA because their team has not just read the guidance about being a dual citizen, they have lived it and faced the same challenges I do.

Consistently reliable and ahead of the curve. As a US commercial lawyer who rises or falls on my own reputation, I’ve been referring my clients to the attentive care of DY USA for 15 years, and always received outstanding feedback and results. Trust in excellence and integrity is essential in this business, and on that basis, I have no hesitation in recommending Rob and his team to bring the most up-to-date knowledge and professionalism to any task and any client they take on. Client well-being is always paramount to DY USA, and they value going the extra mile. I look forward to many more years of collaboration with this truly fine group of professionals.

We were unfamiliar with how the tax system works in the USA and certainly how to mix UK and USA tax requirements made it more challenging. Our initial conversations with Rob were the determining factors for our decision to move ahead with DY USA. We also needed to be certain that DY USA would have the tools to manage USA and UK accounts with local staff in each country. It felt re-assuring that we would engage with a firm that had the people, the experience, and the energy to partner with us along the journey. Plus, we liked the one-to-one feeling of having the same person dedicated to our business, rather than other firms (perhaps bigger and less personal touch).
DY USA always managed to get the figures, consolidation, and reports to the Board within a few days of month-end. That was one of the most important requirements for us plus the fact that they were able to effectively work with our accountancy platform.
The most valuable part of working with DY USA is the people. To start, Rob helped the organization with first steps towards moving to the US, followed by Joe and then Joel as our Account Managers. Never a bad word, slow, or negative. The personal touch by their team clearly helps them stand apart from other firms. I would highly recommend and would use myself should the opportunity arise again.

The reason we refer our clients to DY USA is simple, no one is as knowledgeable or as supportive to UK business navigating the US tax landscape than DY USA. The US tax system is incredibly complex and easy (and costly) to get wrong when you don’t know what you’re doing. DY USA has supported our clients for many years to communicate clearly what they need to know and provide them with honest and accurate advice for both their short-term needs and long-term goals.
If you are a UK business with US clients or offices, then there is no one better to support you with your trans-Atlantic tax needs than DY USA.

We’ve really enjoyed working with DY USA and see them very much as a trusted partner rather than just an adviser. From the start, the team took the time to understand both our business and the realities of operating across the US and UK, which made a big difference. Their advice is always clear, pragmatic, and grounded in what actually works for us commercially.
Just as importantly, they’re extremely responsive and easy to work with. We always feel supported, well informed, and confident in the decisions we’re making with DY USA alongside us.

I am a dual US/British citizen, originally American, who has lived in the UK since 1974. In 2015, DY USA started looking after my US taxes after decades of doing it on my own, with assistance of, at best, variable quality. During the 11 years since, they have provided a consistently excellent service, helping me navigate the complexity of preparing my US returns more efficiently and with less stress than before. I particularly appreciate the personal attention that DY USA offers; it’s a great comfort to be able to communicate with friendly people I have come to know and trust.

We regularly refer clients to DY USA when they are expanding into the U.S. and facing complex tax, entity structuring, and compliance challenges that sit outside UK expertise. What stands out immediately is DY USA’s ability to explain complicated U.S. tax matters in a clear, practical way, while still being technically robust.
Our clients value the responsiveness, clarity, and human approach of the DY USA team. Expectations are consistently met, and often exceeded, particularly around cross-border coordination and avoiding unnecessary risk or surprises.
Having DY USA as a trusted partner means we can confidently support clients scaling internationally, knowing they are in safe hands from a US tax and compliance perspective. The collaboration feels seamless, aligned, and genuinely client-first.

Working with DY USA has given us real confidence that our US structure and tax obligations are set up properly. They take complicated issues and explain them in a way that makes sense, which saves us time and allows us to focus on running and growing our business.

We were setting up a new business in the US and our UK accountants were not able to provide the accounting expertise needed. I met with Rob Whittall through an introduction by our UK accountants and thought Rob was very impressive. He understood the differences between UK and US accounting and gave me confidence that he would be able to help us to safely navigate the challenges associated with starting up a new business in California.
DY USA worked with us on compliant tax filings with the IRS and California and exceeded my expectations.
The team at DY USA provides a positive mix of formal, professional service with a friendly personal approach. I trust in DY USA’s guidance, and their support is incredibly valuable. Their expertise has enabled me to focus on growing the business as opposed to trying to manage the myriad of accounting compliance that comes along with operating in the USA.
DY USA provides important accounting support (advice, guidance and compliance support) in a very responsive way. They assign a dedicated accountant to support our business, so we get access to someone who is familiar with our business and the way we work. This is very important to us.

As a British citizen living and working in the United States, navigating cross-border tax requirements isn’t something I’d feel comfortable managing on my own. From day one, Rob Whittall and the DY USA team have made the process straightforward, clear, and stress-free.
They’re responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain things in plain English, which gives me real confidence that everything is being handled correctly. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I have a trusted partner looking after both compliance and planning.
Working with DY USA has saved me time, removed uncertainty, and allowed me to focus on growing the business, rather than worrying about tax.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
