Intellitender

Set up in 2016, Intellitender is the latest stage in Vick Jackson’s stellar career.

Her past experiences at FTSE 100 defence company Babcock International, and her post heading up the Business Development function of the largest NHS Foundation Trust in the country (South West Ambulance Service) have given her valuable experience in both the public and the private sector. She’s also a director of the board on the UK Association for Proposal Management Professionals, the worldwide authority for professionals dedicated to the process of winning business through proposals, bids, tenders and presentations.

With such success, Vicki has needed a strong guidance to help build her business, which is where Simpkins Edwards has stepped in. “Seb Beard, Partner at Simpkins Edwards, was introduced to me by one of my clients”, says Vicki. “They really rated him, and having had poor experience with a previous accountant, it was refreshing to see how quickly Seb identified and understood the challenges facing Intellitender. I was so impressed that, within 24 hours of our first meeting, we’d switched to Simpkins Edwards.”

“Seb grasped our goals and aspirations and swiftly outlines strategic accountancy advice to put the business in a strong position. The frustration of my experience was instantly lifted. Simpkins Edwards’ pro-active, solution driven advice has been a breath of fresh air and it gives me the capacity to focus fully on driving the business forward.”

Vicki uses Simpkins Edwards’ monthly service package which, in addition to the usual tax and accounting compliance, provides her with bookkeeping and payroll, management accounts, strategic information and quarterly planning meetings. Simpkins Edwards helps Vicki keep her books in order, have up to date management information, and assists her in extracting profit tax efficiently.

Such has been the success of Intellietnder, that Vicky has just taken on her first two full-time members of staff; the first on many. As Vicky says “We have a dream list of clients that we want to work with and a clear plan for sustainable growth. Our philosophy is to be more than a provider of people, by achieving real results for our clients. We put our skill in the game to strengthen their competitive positions and add value at every opportunity. We have a hunger to grow and a commitment to personal and professional development. With Simpkins Edwards on our team, we can look forward to exciting bids, working with the best of the best growing together.”
