Positive:Professionalism,Responsiveness
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.

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 wouldnt 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

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

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 thought that my London accountant was doing a great job for me, but having switched to Simpkins Edwards Exeter I have realized that they are altogether superior in every way. They are efficient, more cost-effective and extremely personable to deal with. I would highly recommend them for business or personal usage.
