Bukky Shonola has opened a new walk-in tax and accountancy shop on 53-55 Station Road in Letchworth.
Bukky is a qualified AAT technician with eight years’ experience working in various roles in accountancy. She runs the practice with the assistance of her husband Dapo, a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), who has more than 20 years’ experience in accounting.
She bought the Letchworth TaxAssist Accountants from retiring franchisees in April 2018 and is excited to have opened the shop, which offers the perfect location to meet with the 250 existing clients of the practice, along with potential new clients who can pop in for a free consultation.
Bukky explains what attracted her to become part of the TaxAssist Accountants network: “Having worked for other people throughout our working lives, we thought it was time to pursue our dream of owning a business. Both being accountants, we thought buying a TaxAssist would be a good fit and the discovery day convinced us that this is the right opportunity for us.
“We are very excited for the future and for the opportunity to work as a family to grow the practice into something much bigger, including having multiple shops.
“The TaxAssist Operational Support Centre Team has been excellent and we really couldn’t have done this without them. At every stage of the process, they have been there for us.”
If you would like to find out more about joining the TaxAssist Accountants network, please give Nikki Haythorne a call on 0800 0188297.

The team at Tiger Eye are delighted to announce The Boudicca Appeal has been selected as their charity of the year for 2021, with the charity being nominated for the second year running.
Following a staff vote, The Boudicca Appeal was once again chosen for its vital work in the Norfolk community. The Tiger Eye Team will make The Boudicca Appeal the focus of fundraising efforts for 2021. Whilst the pandemic and lockdown may make fundraising events and projects more difficult, Tiger Eye look forward to generating vital funds for the appeal where possible.
The Boudicca Appeal, one of many programmes under the Norfolk and Norwich Hospitals Charity umbrella, aims to raise funds for a new dedicated breast cancer unit at the NNUH. Over the past five years, the current breast cancer unit has seen an 80% increase in patient numbers, meaning that as it stands, the current unit is unable to provide same-day diagnosis to all visitors.
With the NHS facing its biggest challenge in 72 years in its battle against the coronavirus, resources are already strained, and the unit is of critical importance. With the pandemic at hand, the need to provide same-day diagnostic tests is crucial, in order to reduce stress and anxiety for breast cancer patients by removing tough wait times between referrals, tests and diagnoses for the 7,000+ women and men who are referred each year.
So far, The Boudicca Appeal has raised £440.4K – 55% of its £800K target. Tiger Eye look forward to supporting The Boudicca Appeal in getting closer to achieving their goal.
