Celebrating a decade in partnership

At Maslins, we’re proud of the long-standing relationships we develop with our clients. Here, we’re celebrating a special anniversary with SJH Digital Ltd. We caught up with Simon to chat about his relationship with Maslins and just why he’s stuck with us for 10 years!
Simon began by reflecting on why he initially chose Maslins all those years ago.
“I knew I needed an accountant to keep on top of my taxes, but I didn’t really know what I needed from an accountant,” Simon recalls. “I liked the fact that Maslins focused on freelancers and had straightforward services, so I didn’t feel like I was being sold anything.”
Building a strong foundation
From the beginning, our straightforward approach to his finances allowed him to focus on his work, rather than tax deadlines or compliance issues.
“In one word, my experience with Maslins has been ‘easy’,” he says “It’s always been a pleasure to work with the team at Maslins. Not only are they good at what they do, but the response times are always quick – and they’re actually lovely people to work with to boot!”
Going beyond the basics
Over the years different issues and questions have popped up about tax legislation and more niche subjects.
“It has never been an issue when I’ve asked for things that steer away from the usual “run of the mill” requests. In fact, the team has been excited to delve into geeky and obscure corners of tax legislation, which they don’t often get to look at,” he chuckles.
One particularly instance involved Simon’s personal investment in cryptocurrency. As he dipped his toes into digital assets, it quickly became clear that managing these new transactions would be complex.
“My crypto investment created a lot of admin and new challenges for Maslins – but they took it in your stride, navigating forward in a way which was compliant with HMRC rules and regulations.”
Confidence to grow
With Maslins handling his accounts, Simon’s been able to focus more fully on building his business. Having an expert team by his side has provided him with peace of mind and the confidence to make financial decisions based on all the relevant information.
“The team are always happy to explain not only ‘the what’, but the ‘why’, which helps me better understand what I’m doing and gives me confidence in making decisions. Everyone I have spoken to has been easy to deal with and this helps remove stress from the whole process.”
A decade of trust
Even after a decade with Maslins, Simon has no reservations when it comes to recommending us to others. “I genuinely can’t think of a reason not to recommend Maslins. I’ve heard some real horror stories over the years.
For any freelancers who want a stress-free way of staying on top of their taxes, this is the solution. Every time I’ve recommended Maslins, the feedback has been excellent.”
