Meloney Wiltshire-Payne, CEO/Finance Director

“Our business has changed significantly over the years having faced numerous challenges, during these times Simmons Gainsford have always been very supportive. Their team relates well to us, and they take the time to understand the business and its journey. Our shareholders like to try out different ideas, which the SG team always take in their stride, they ask the relevant questions and are not afraid to challenge or disagree, not least because their technical knowledge is second to none, all the while remaining focused on the broader objectives of the directors and shareholders. The audit team on the ground is also very good and communicative, they always take the time to listen, explain and understand. And having continuity with the team, which is an important factor for me, helps to ensure that we have a very good two-way working relationship. All in all, we really do feel as though we’re in safe hands.”

"Simmons Gainsford have been our trusted advisors since our incorporation in 1997, and their support has been integral to our success. They handle every aspect of our financial and compliance needs, including accounts preparation, audit, corporation tax compliance, payroll, and VAT. Their comprehensive approach gives us peace of mind, knowing that every detail is managed with precision and care. In the past, they’ve also expertly guided us through HMRC’s complex periodic audit, ensuring we navigated any challenges smoothly. The team’s dedication and in-depth knowledge make Simmons Gainsford an essential part of our business operations. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“We have been working with Simmons Gainsford Procurement since 2012 and are really impressed with the service. Almost immediately on joining their service they saved us significant amounts on our electricity contract and have successfully implemented savings in a number of purchasing areas and they now provide I.T. Support services to our business. I would not hesitate to recommend other Simmons Gainsford clients to join their cost optimisation programme.”
