Mark Howell

I help business owners achieve their dreams by moving beyond the traditional accountancy role of simply “keeping score” with historical data. Instead, I focus on advising clients on how to maximise both business and personal wealth through proactive, straight-talking advice.

My journey at DJH Halesowen (formerly Nicklin) began in 2006 when I joined as a Senior Manager, becoming an Equity Partner in 2011. I’m passionate about helping business owners make and, just as importantly, keep the rewards they deserve – including strategic tax and estate planning to protect their hard-earned success.

Since 2015 I have been working with our GP and medical profession clients. Offering specialised advice to this sector, we are proud members of AISMA (Association of Specialised Medical Accountants). Benefits of this membership include being able to offer Benchmarking data and our Teams continuing training and support in this complex and niche area of accounting and tax.

• What makes DJH great is...

  The team members who work here. Everyone has a passion to work with each other for the benefit of our clients. Whether it’s a service offered locally or a specialism from another office, we work together as a team to give clients a great experience and the best quality, honest advice.

• My most trusted piece of advice in business is

  What you can measure you can manage. Our goal is to give clients timely and accurate information to make meaningful business decisions. I believe your accountant should be your trusted advisor who gives straight, honest answers as if that business was their own – whether you’re a GP or an engineer.

• On a Saturday morning you'll usually find me

  In the garden during spring and summer months, working hard in the morning on landscaping or growing plants, before sitting back with family or friends later to admire the results – usually over a glass of wine or beer! There’s something deeply satisfying about creating something beautiful and then enjoying it with the people you care about.
