I'm a British expat with a BTL property portfolio. I was referred to Mark & James for guidance on tax efficiency for my UK income. They provided well informed guidance that helped me to understand my options and make informed decisions. I'd be very happy to recommend them to others with similar circumstances.

Simpkins Edwards have been my personal and company accountants since 1989. During that time I have always found John Coombs and the team to be approachable, helpful, constructive and professional, no hesitation in recommending SE

I have been working with Mark Simic at Simpkins Edwards since early 2018 and I cannot recommend their services enough, Mark and his team have been brilliant since day one. They look after my personal accounts, which has been a huge help - but they also helped open a Limited Company for my new business, it is on this side of things that I have been really impressed with everything they offer, as I wouldn't have been able to grow the business without their help and support.

I work closely with Sonia Cleave and Sam Johnson on a weekly basis as they raise our invoices and keep a close eye on everything on the accounting side, so I don't have to. Their ongoing support, on all aspects is a really vital component for our growth plans. I really enjoy working with the team at Simpkins Edwards and trust them implicitly and have total confidence in everything they do. Thank you to Mark, Sonia, Sam and the rest of the team for all your expertise so far and I look forward to your continued support for many years to come. I would highly recommend engaging with Simpkins Edwards, I'm confident that you'll be impressed with the variety of services offered.

Mark Simic has been looking after our Dental Practice Accounts (and personal accounts) for the past 3 years. I could not recommend him and his team more highly. Good guys and nice to deal with. We have real time insight into the performance of our business thanks to the systems he put in place, and the quarterly reviews with Mark are extremely helpful - getting us to focus on simple things/areas that can be improved to boost our top/bottom lines. Seeing your performance in black and white each month takes away the uncertainty - and allows us to make good decisions continuously. Highly recommend.
