Meet the Team
Jeremy Robbins
Managing Director
My Accountancy career began with Grant Thornton in London and gained experience in with Hopper Williams and Bell, Rothman Pantall (Havant) and Taylor Cocks (Cosham). I gained my qualification as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2005. I am extremely thankful to all the Partners and colleagues at these firms who helped me develop into the accountant I am today. It is my aim for Genio to be the accounting Genius that small business clients need and deserve. I am a keen golfer, dabbled in a bit of running (3.75 marathons completed) and a 'taxi-dad' to sporty sons and elite Acro gymnast daughter...

Sarah Davis FCA

Sarah joined us in July 2020 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2003 Sarah is an expert in messy accounts…. She has managed to turn accounts around that other firms have abandoned. She deals with all aspects of accounts, payroll and Tax Sarah is not one for our weekly bacon roll run, however does like the chocolate brownies that appear now and again. PS: Don’t mention the Air-conditioning – she has the unfortunate position of sitting directly beneath it.
Marta Robbins
Credit Control
Her part time role at Genio is involved in helping and chasing later payers. So hopefully you won’t hear from her : Most our clients pay by monthly DD so its not a busy role but when required in the past she has been very effective. Marta has extensive credit control experience and can help clients with their own credit control to ensure their debtor days are as low as possible.
