“I don’t have to worry about anything.”
Catherine, Florist – Newport
“Lucy and the team are always so helpful and efficient. I trust them to take care of all my accounting so I don’t have to worry about anything! Great service.”
“A gem of a find.”
June, Holistic Therapist – East Cowes
“Being a small business owner life runs at a 100mph. My absolute dread has always been my self assessment. A couple of years ago I took the decision to use the services of an accountant. Several phonecalls later they were all ‘too busy’. I found Lucy’s number and nothing was too much trouble. Friendly and so accommodating and never too busy to answer questions. A gem of a find”
“We couldn’t ask
for more.”
Neil, Contractor – Cowes
“Lucy, James and the team at Simplex have been with our company from the start and are a crucial linchpin in our operations. They are organised, methodical, quick to respond to needs and queries, and ultimately professional while maintaining a friendly, caring approach. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.”
