Steve Anderson

Steve’s accounting career began at the tender age of 16 working for a local firm of Chartered Accountants where he gained a sound knowledge of all the basics of accounting without the help of computers, including filing, sorting the post and how to make tea.

After progressing to a medium sized firm in London, he moved into Industry as a Financial Controller for a Loss Adjusting firm in the Lloyds Building and then as a Finance Director to a large IT distribution company, learning the nuts and bolts of all aspects of running a business.

He returned to practice in 2005 for a large family owned Accountancy practice in London where he ran an extremely busy Management Accountants department and its team of 6. During that time he gained valuable experience working for FCA authorised businesses and international companies.

Steve formed SJAS in 2009 and has seen the business grow from strength to strength. There is nothing Steve doesn’t know about spreadsheets and accounting functions. He loves I.T. but maybe not as much as he loves cars. His current drive is his much loved Land Rover Defender, which he enjoys tinkering with and driving around in his local area of the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire.

Julia has worked in practice for more than 25 years specialising in payroll. She gained much of her experience in a large practice and progressed to a managerial role with responsibility for several hundred weekly, monthly and annual payroll schemes and manager to a small team.

Julia joined SJAS in 2009 and assists Steve in many aspects of running the business including admin, credit control and the company secretarial duties. She also keeps Steve in tea and sandwiches throughout the day and exercises the family dog, the very lively cocker spaniel Poppy.

Rob Anderson

Rob started his accountancy career in 2003 working for a small, family run firm of Accountants and Auditors. During this time he learned the basics of accounting, which helped him progress from preparing VAT returns and summarising clients records, to becoming a Junior Auditor and preparing financial statements for SME’s. During this 8 years of service, he also progressed to becoming a fully qualified MAAT.

In 2012, Rob was ready for a career move, and so joined Steve (his brother) in SJ Accounts Solutions. During this time Rob has thoroughly enjoyed progressing further into to the area of Management Accounting and Financial Control, and he serves a wide ranging although niche calibre of client particularly specialising in the Financial Services Industry.

In his downtime Rob enjoys spending time with his young family, playing golf, and watching his beloved West Ham.
