#kpspotlight On - James Robson

Issue 20

With a head for numbers and a degree in mathematics, it should come as no surprise to see James Robson three years into a career with KP Simpson.

Despite not having an accounting background, accounting clerk James is excelling in what he calls the ‘chill’ surroundings of KP Simpson’s Jarrow offices since starting back in 2013.

Preparing financial statements, and working on accounts, James will often be your first port of call when contacting the firm with an enquiry be it on the telephone or over email.

James, whose role with KP Simpson is his first since graduating university is part of the movement to change the image of an accountant as a dull grey man with a pipe who you only see once a year. He instead believes you should see an accountant as a friend or acquaintance, working with you and not against you.

Ambitious, hard-working and dedicated to his craft, James uses his interest in number manipulation to get maximum results for clients, be it a simple enquiry, or a more in depth question regarding their account, while maintaining the laid-back yet busy atmosphere that characterises KP Simpson.

Although this is James’ first job, he has already noticed changes in the way tax and accountancy is carried out and regulated with HMRC getting stricter than ever with procedures and ensuring they are followed to the letter for James and the KP Simpson team though, this just means delivering an even more thorough, quality level of service to each and every client on a personal level. It all means a one-to-one service, with the old fashioned one size fits all approach gone.
