Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, kayaking, racing karts, and watching F1 - anything on wheels. I also love spending quality movie nights with my family.

Hi, I’m Neil. I’m one of the partners at Passman Leonard and a chartered certified accountant with more than 20 years of experience. I work closely with our SME clients and make sure they feel supported and confident in their finances as well as meet their statutory compliance requirements.

Apart from number crunching I also enjoy exploring all things Tech for the practice and clients. Whether it’s testing new tools, improving systems, or just making sure everything runs smoothly, I’m always looking for ways that technology can make work more efficient for us and our clients.

When not working, I am a big sports fan and will watch and/or play almost any competitive sport, as long as it does not involve wheels! I also enjoy hiking, travelling and spending time with family and friends.

My experience with Puja Shah at Passman Leonard was extremely positive. She guided me through what, for me, is complicated territory. Her intelligence and patience were just what I needed. Any questions or concerns I had were dealt with in a very timely fashion and resolved to my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to most highly recommend.

I have worked with Passman Leonard for several years and I always found them supportive and knowledgeable. The most important bit is that they take holistic approach to company and personal tax, so tax planning covers all aspects and is considered from all angles, not only a single limited company, single self-employment or property ownership. I highly recommend to work with Puja, Paul and Neil!

Great company, great staff. I joined these guys a few years ago. My business and personal accounts were not in a very good place, pervious accountant hadn't done his job properly. Puja is great, she turned my accounts around and now I need not worry about the tax man or about my accounts as I know they are all very well looked after. I can concentrate on my business with a free mind when it comes to taxes, CIS payments and VAT returns. All thanks to those at Passman & Leonard. I have to add that Paul has always been very approachable and friendly and has helped me over the years also. Highly recommend!
