So if you take the free trial, and then sign up top an accountant that wraps FA into their package do you get to use the same account ?

Yes

Also - anyone have any experience of Dynamo in Leeds ?

Yes, the trial account could be moved straight across to the accountant as Alan says. The accountant would make a request to FA who would then confirm directly with the account holder for security purposes. Whole process is very quick depending on the response time of the account holder.

Thanks, but the spreadsheet is not bad enough that replacing it is enough to overcome my inertia.

Fine, I guess it depends on a) How much you value your time. b) How much you can potentially save each month going elsewhere compared to your spready accountant. c) How much value you place on knowing exactly in real time what your assets and liabilities are in your business and d) How much value you place on being able to switch accountants quickly, cheaply, easily and with no loss of data or continuity. Entirely your choice of course.

Just noticed the SJD re-brand and with it a new price structure

Maybe to align with the ClearSky merger?

Got to say the "Contact Us" menu button is a little annoying on the row below!

Recommend Clare Wilson at Gorilla, I switched from SJD because the prices just kept going up and I know I have very simple accounts. Inertia and thinking it would be grief kept me at SJD.

They handled all the information transfer, I hate paperwork but freeagent is manageable once you get your head round, imports all your bank details etc just have to explain the odd one.

Always good at reminding me to do stuff and very quick response to queries.
If you want the accounts stuff and don't need detailed financial help, they are a good shout and 30 notes a month is better in your account than someone elses.

Just in the process of switching to FA now - I'm pretty impressed with it so far.

I don't know anyone who wasn't impressed to be honest.

SJD - Too many mistakes, too expensive, too many changes in accountants (the good ones never stick around for long) and very poor customer service.

Avoid !!!

Different service levels are usually a way of extracting more cash from their clients, especially newbies who are more nervous. If the basic package doesn't cover what you want then I'd go to an accountant who does provide what you want. Never underestimate the power of agencies in directing their candidates to accountants who reward them.

If an agency is really keen on a particular accountant I'd steer clear and ask a friend or existing contractor.
