I cannot recall another time when I had my load so efficiently taken off my shoulders. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon Gray to anyone who is concerned about tax returns. Worth every penny.
Mark Kiaie
Simon is a commercially astute and very knowledgeable Finance Director and Tax Accountant.
He has the rare ability of being able to formulate high level strategic plans and implement them accordingly, and at the same time he can also turn his hand to the detail and forensically examine the numbers whenever required.
Simon's tax planning knowledge is second to none, and as a business owner and entrepreneur I really appreciate his coordinated, proactive advice with regards to both company and personal tax. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon's services to other business owners and taxpayers.

As beginners in the world of business, Simon has been our guiding light. From the very first meeting he impressed us with his knowledge and willingness to teach.

Dr Andy Jinks
There was a time when I would struggle to get my tax returns in by the due date, incurring all the stress and anxiety that this entails for someone like me. I found Simon through bark.com last year and I can honestly say that employing his services has been one of the best things I’ve done. This is the second year that he has “taken all the pain away” and I am thrilled with his kindness, knowledge and efficiency, so much so that this year I have recommended him to a friend and colleague.

The reason why I chose Simon was because he understood my business more than the other accountants that I had spoken to and the great advice, as well as communication was outstanding
Sean Gill

Needing an accountant for the first time I found Simon on Bark. I have now worked with Simon for the last 6 months seeking advice on many accounting and tax scenarios and my personal tax return. Simon is very knowledge, very personable and most importantly in a world where everything is digital and faceless, Simon gives a personal service with frequent calls and advice over a coffee to discuss anything from changes to tax laws to how to pay my liabilities most efficiently. I would highly recommend Simon for any business or personal accounting. More...

Accounting
Simon has been brilliant. I found him on here, I spoke with 4 accountants prior to determining that he was the right fit for me. I'm in the process of buying a business and Simon has been outstanding. He's done stuff in the evenings, at weekends, has done countless revisions of P&L projections, cash flows and EBITDA's advising me what to offer for the business I'm buying. When I contact him he responds pretty quickly either by phone or email. I don't think I could have got this far without his support. If you are looking for a certain amount of hand holding as you step out to do something new to you then take it from me, Simon is the guy to speak to. More...
A Jinks
Simon is knowledgable, very helpful and swift to respond. He has an eye for detail and an ear for the troubled client! He aided me a great deal in the submission of my less than straight forward tax return and took the trouble to chase HMRC when they were tardy in their responses. A most able and reassuring account. Thank you, Simon. More...
