Leah Jones

“I would highly recommend Simply Accounts - professional, thorough and approachable. The support from Mike and his team has always been fantastic, but during this period of Coronavirus they have been just awesome. Always there with advice and guidance when our businesses have been in real need of support.”
Pam Bellingham
Radiate Arts CIC
“Mike is the first accountant I have come across who speaks a language I understand! He is friendly, straightforward and user friendly! His fees do not fill me with dread and I feel confident to ask his advice informally without worrying that this will ramp up the charges.”
Carol Moore
Carol Moore Associates Limited
“We moved over to Mike at Simply Accounts last year. The advice we get is clear and effective, communications are easy to understand and really helpful. Fee-wise, we are really happy. The direct debit option helps spread the cost and we don't get charged every time we phone for advice, which has been a lot during the Covid outbreak. We cannot recommend them enough!”
Matt Cooper
Car Clinic MOT Centre, Ellesmere Port
“After leaving my previous accountant to join Simply Accounts, I cannot fault them. Mike, Sandy, Matt & the team have been exceptional from the start. They go above and beyond in assisting whatever needs you may have, always make time for you and make you feel a welcome client. Really good service and company!”
