At first I was very pleased with this firm. Especially with covid. But this past year has left me feeling disappointed. I had made the grand decision to purchase an electric car through the business as a limited company. When I had asked his advise to help direct me with financial information and taxes, I was simply sent links from google to read up myself and these werent even based on an electric car. He also told me to speak to the dealership. I wasnt impressed so decided to ask another accountant for advise. Her quick reply and knowledge left me wondering how she could help me grow my

As a company we moved to Dead Simple and it was without doubt the very best move we have made. They came strongly recommended and we can now see why. Past mistakes our accountants were making have been rectified, help is always on hand, the efficiency is incredible and they are a joy to work with. In turn I now recommend Dead Simple to anyone looking for an accountant or even considering moving to a new firm. Great people, great company.

I contacted James through a personal recommendation as I had to submit a Self Evaluation. Never having done one before, I wanted to make sure that it was done correctly. James told me very clearly the information which he needed from me and explained the process. In no time at all, James had completed the information required by HMRC and submitted the Self Evaluation on my behalf. Throughout the process, James kept in contact with me keeping me informed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James and I will be using his services in the future. Thank you James
