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 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

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

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.

I've been with Mary Jane Campbell at Simpkins Edwards in Exeter for a couple of years now - I just wish I'd found her earlier! Mary Jane, and her colleagues, are a real joy to deal with. On a day to day basis, whatever the query, large or small, their experience and knowledge is the best I've ever encountered. After an email, or a phone conversation, what you thought would be a time consuming problem is dealt with, quickly and easily, with a smile. I wouldn't just recommend - I would highly recommend.

Simpkins Edwards provide a great service in helping to manage my accounts, including bookkeeping, for my business. I particularly like their accounts package Libertyse, where it's all online, helps save time when raising invoices and you can get a picture of your accounts at any time. I also like it that Simpkins Edwards pro-actively work with you in making sure you keep in line with accountancy rules and practices and they think ahead so you don't get caught out.
