About us
Simple Accounting Services was formed in May 2005 with no intention of being "just another accounting practice" but providing something different that we saw was missing.
The business is totally dedicated to achieving its key targets:
- Fast turnaround for completing end of year accounts
- Reasonable fees
- Excellence in accounting systems support
Accounting Computer Services
In today’s society many clients are keeping up to date with the advances in computer technology. The problem is that many Accountants are not.
One of our primary aims is to bridge the gap between accounting and computers. That’s why we employ people with both accounting and computing skills. A prime example of this is our Practise Manager, David Hawkyard. As well as being an accountant, David also has a degree in Computer Science.
