Re: no brainer?
I know the company and I know they are good and would have no problem using them - that's not the point I'm making.
The risk assesment is that I use forms and triggers that are closley tied to the accountant's own systems, so there is a minimum of data transfer (basically I send them a dump of my GL to date for most purposes) and all key actions are prompted from both my own calendars and from theirs, so there's no chance of missing a filing date (which is one of the best ways to trigger an investigation BTW).
No doubt your guy would provide the same, but I would have to change something to align to it - so why take something that is known to work and replace it with something that is not known to work? Medium risk, low probability if I change, low risk, low probability if I don't. It's really no more complicated or sinister than that
And if you want to do the willy comparison thing, I have personal convertible assets of well over £0.5m right now and no debts other than the mortgage, all from my own endeavours, so yes, I am quite relaxed about £400 a year. I'll never be a millionaire, but then I don't really want to be
