“Working with Claire at PayAssist has been a seamless experience from day one. Claire is efficient, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive, which makes payroll - often a daunting task - feel effortless. Her attention to detail and proactive communication give us complete confidence that everything is handled accurately and on time. I would highly recommend Claire and PayAssist’s services to any business looking for reliable and professional payroll support.”

Paul Sultan, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer
MONDOTTICA

“When I joined Mondottica three years ago, I knew straight away that our Big 4 auditor was not the right match for our business. The need for a change was apparent and it certainly reinforced the importance of working with the right audit firm. Despite knowing that a change of auditor would be very challenging, we appointed Simmons Gainsford. The handover was handled smoothly by their team and we feel that they have done a terrific job over the last two years. They get things done, put the client at the centre of their service and I have no doubt that we made the right choice. We will now reap the benefits of having made the change and I look forward to building on what is already a very strong professional working relationship with the Simmons Gainsford team.”

Alice Arnold, Finance Director
Dune Group Limited

“The Dune Group have been working with Simmons Gainsford Procurement since 2012. Savings have been identified across a wide range of areas and total in excess of £100,000. Naturally we are very pleased with the savings identified thus far and we are focusing on implementing these savings to our bottom line.”
