Spear’s Review

‘Being an owner/manager can be an isolating task,’ Jeff Hartstone tells Spear’s. ‘I act as a sounding board for clients’ worries, queries and ambitions, fostering trust and loyalty. Absolute trust and confidentiality are key.’

Hartstone is one of BKL’s longest-standing partners, with nearly 40 years’ experience within the private client world, in particular around tax planning and strategy. His clientele is made up of HNW clients, largely from the real estate world, including residential and commercial property investors, developers and property consultants.

His aim is for clients ‘to feel confident that I’m here to listen and to respond with guidance that is pragmatic, thoughtful and personal: to be their ally, not just their accountant’.
