      Ah, that would explain why Daniel has just mailed me saying Jeremiah can't take on big clients because his abacus doesn't go up high enough.

        It depends on whether the recommendation is coming from the right place (i.e. current client of the accountant being referred, or purely someone after a nice referral fee/perk!).

            I thought they had an online portal called Vantage? Remember looking into it at one point.

                Nixon Williams by miles in my humble opinion.

                In Touch couldn't get my accounts to balance and came out with a whole load of cobblers as to why. When I moved from them to NW they provided virtually no information to NW.

                I've tried the other 'Big' 2 in the past and found them equally useless.

                Maybe just the luck of the draw. Who knows?

                  Who says size doesn't matter. You don't want an accountant with a small abacus.

                    Or a calculator that doesn't go to 9!
