Fiona Beevers
I'm so glad I asked Joseph to help me with my tax affairs. I had received a letter from HMRC regarding property I had let out and was very concerned.
Joseph helped me through a disclosure to HMRC and I now sleep much better.

I have used Simpson Costea for many years, they have helped me with my personal tax returns as I'm a landlord. Joseph and his team always respond quickly to my queries and are a quick phone call away. I'd used another accountant before Joseph and it was refreshing to be able to speak directly to Joseph without being put on hold or having to leave voicemails. More...

Working with Joseph and his team has been one of the better decisions that I’ve made. We use external accountants to assist with our tax compliance as we do not have the resources in-house to stay up to date with the changing rules, regulations and case law.
I am comfortable that Simpson Costea is on-top of these technical matters.
Joseph has helped us with many matters, including our on-going compliance with corporate tax and VAT. While we have not outsourced our payroll to Joseph’s team, they have assisted with designing a share award scheme to help motivate the team. Joseph has also assisted with tricky group VAT registration matters and helped us determine whether certain supplies were standard rated.
Joseph took the time to understand our needs and has been able to integrate his solution into our systems. I find his advice timely and relevant.

On setting up my architecture practice my main concern was sourcing new clients and servicing their needs, I paid little attention to administration and tax matters and as I was busy;
I left things a little late and received notices from HMRC.
Joseph and his team were able to set up processes that were easy for me to follow and now I do not have to worry about most administrative tasks. I still have to invoice my clients but now I can focus my time on my business, not the back-office. I review the bank balance occasionally to make things are on track but the inciteful quarterly information that I am provided with help me make timely decisions. Segregating my cash from business and personal has eased matters.
I wish I’d found Simpson Costea earlier, I wouldn’t have received notices from HMRC and would have saved some money.

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Getting the right accountant can save a considerable amount of time, effort and money. Accounting and taxes, whether indirect or direct, can be complicated and having someone who supports you who is dealing with these queries everyday can ensure errors are not made. A great accountant is helpful and friendly but also professional in ensuring your financial goals are met while keeping any problems at bay. We keep a regular eye on the many court cases being decided by the UK courts and tribunals to ensure we can serve our clients very effectively. It is important to hire an accountant who understand the technology choices that are available. While there are many online accounting software providers out there, and we encourage their use, we ensure that our solutions meet the technological requirements of our clients.
What do you love most about your job?
Accountancy is typically seen as a dry subject and while it can leave many people wanting to have a quick nap, I find it very engaging. The ins and outs of tax law can be very complicated and sometimes a considerable amount of time can be incurred in finding out the right answer but this answer is then applicable across our client base. Having run my practice successfully for many years I am free to allocate my time in the manner I see fit and I thrive on establishing systems that are effective and efficient; saving our clients time and money.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After many years of working in industry I decided it was time to work for myself. I have found this very satisfying as even though the responsibilities are greater I am able to spend the time I choose with my family, though at certain times of the year I am very busy. Most of my clients I have known for a considerable time and I find helping them enjoyable.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are a small practice that is able to offer affordable services with a friendly people-oriented approach. For us to be able to service our clients most effectively we must understand the financial motivations of our clients. Our industry experience means we are able structure our clients’ affairs in the most tax efficient manner possible while ensure the work is performed in the most efficient way.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We can provide our services remotely. We are a quick video or voice call away but of course are pleased to meet our clients face to face. Most of our approaches suit themselves to online working.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Much of the work we perform is online so keeping our customers safe during the pandemic was almost business as usual. We certainly had less face to face meetings during the pandemic but it is good that we can now meet up again.
