Starting to have regrets joining Clearsky Accounting!

I just think certain people get on their high horse and start making assumptions about less experienced contractors

Who would you recommend?

As soon as your trust in them has gone you have no choice but to leave IMO. Your lot aren't a one man band so they must be able to do their job but you've got on the wrong foot and it's going to be very difficult to come back from that. I believe you have to have full faith in your accountant or you won't be able to trust them or feel you can rely on their service and advice. When they are looking after my finances that I know f all about I have to have that trust.

I left SJD who were great for years for less. A few warning signs started appearing and the person I trusted left. Bit of hassle and I'm up and running with the outfit Jamie (ex SJD person) is running and am has happy as pig in't muck again. Worth an exit fee and bit of hassle without a doubt.

You could give them the benefit of the doubt and speak to them to resolve it but they'd have to come up with something good to convince me so early on.

Your call.

I'm with Parasol at the moment and was looking to move to Ltd with SJD until I saw you reply. Who would you recommend?

I paid a lot less than £290 a month for a local firm who provided excellent service, but became too expensive. I ditched them when their fees approached £200 a month.

OK I guess you know by now you're paying too much

I pay £1300 a year with a local accountant.

Includes my personal tax returns as well, payroll and company accounts.

Also I get him on the phone instantly and email response is very prompt...
