Great service, James and the team are very approachable and take the time to explain everything. Happy with the outcome, would recommend
A 5 star review for this excellent business! James has a first class customer service approach which is so refreshing. He is responsive - says what he will do and does what he says - and promptly. If you have an accounting/tax issue, don't hesitate to contact Dead Simple Accounting. They will sort it for you!
James is worth more than 5 stars! I would give 1000 if I could. The whole process has been so quick, seamless and also comforting! He explained everything to me with ease and clarity and also sent me links so I can learn more. I appreciate him so much! Thankyou James!
The people at Dead Simple Accounting are dead simply, amazing. Very personable, extremely easy to work with, and completely take the burden out of personal and business admin. Having recently onboarded as a new client, the stark contrast from previous accountants in terms of Dead Simple's ability, knowledge of process and software, and ease of engaging is flawless. And their services are extremely good value for money. Highly recommend to both small and large businesses, or self-employed workers. They will remove the stress, and provide you with confidence that everything is taken care of. One tax return at a time 😊
As the name would suggest! First time having to file for Self Assessment, and a complicated one at that, and the team at Dead Simple (recommended to me by a friend & fellow client) made the whole process as easy as can be. A few short questions, an entirely reasonable fee, and a huge weight off my mind with zero stress & minimal effort on my part. Literally, I gave them my problem - and they just sorted it all out for me. Job done. Amazing. Exactly what you want. 100% repeat customer in the future!
James is wonderful - his emoji game is on point, he is fast and efficient, and earned me a return on my taxes that I doubt I would have been able to figure out myself as a sole trader. 10/10, will be using next year too!
Always amazing and kind! James has helped me so much with filing taxes and business expenses, I would truly be lost without them!
