Critical: Professionalism Laughed at me during the job interview. Found the interviewers smug and uptight.

Report
We engaged David Simpson to advise on cross-border tax implications for the US-based start-up I was joining. The advice was extremely well laid out and clear, and provided everything we needed. We very much appreciated BKL's professionalism and accommodation, both in the initial informal discussions and the formal engagement. Jay Watson, MD, The Index Standard

Report
Not professional. Seemed to be just another another number and that there only interest is to make as much money out of you as possible. I got quoted 1,000 then they tried charging me OVER 4,500 yes OVER 4,500 then settled on 3,100 which i was forced to pay (see attached photos of proof from email)! very unprofessional and decide to charge you whatever they want for information you can easily get off the internet. This is not to mention the lack of response. Honestly an absolute horrific, messy and stressful experience.

I have been very happy to have Kim Tee of BKL deal with my annual accounts for the past couple of years. She is very helpful, friendly and readily available to contact. I have always received a very efficient service from her and consider the Company to be well run and professionally managed and one that I would highly recommend without hesitation. G PASH
