SSS Management Services

Terry Baker | Managing Director (Retired)

I have known Rajiv for nearly 8 years now, and in that time my business has more than doubled. Rajiv has been there to guide me through not just the accounting issues, but proactive tax planning to minimise tax liabilities for the business as well as me personally, and also providing regular management information to ensure that we can also be proactive in our business decisions. I would recommend Rajiv to anyone who would like proactive advice in running their business as well as their tax affairs.

JBS Haulage (Contractors) Limited

Jason Whent | Director

I first met Rajiv nearly 20 years ago, and straight away I liked his direct and friendly approach. From the beginning, Rajiv gave me his honest opinion and the advice he offered was proactive, and as he often says, the numbers are a very good guide of what has been but also more importantly of what is to come. This has helped me with my own business decisions, and in particular my tax planning.
I have also recommended Rajiv to many of my own clients and I have had very good feedback on the service and advice that they have received.

Karl Godden | Head of Business Insight

I've had the pleasure of working with Darren for over 7 years. He is always responsive, often working to tight deadlines. He has always exceeded expectations by adding value to the brief with strategic input and industry insight. I haven't found another supplier that can deliver high quality projects yet still remain cost effective and I would recommend working with him.
