        They're based in Bolton, Churchgate opposite Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe.

        Now if you're from Bolton, you're either Carrs or Ye Olde Pastie, I'm Carrs through and through....

            *bump*

            I'm thinking of going with Gorilla at the moment. Just going to sort out my SA, then will be moving. Mr NLUK - how has your experience been so far?

            I've not had much need to contact my accountant, but I do need year end accounts and all the PAYE filing, so I'm looking for something cheaper than SJD (who I've not been particularly happy with).

              I'm also with gorilla and find them to be spot on - good price, freeagent (included) let's me have as much control as I want (else you can just email the accountant to do something for you) - they check through everything quarterly by default around VAT submission time so you know you're not making any silly mistakes with the software - and always respond to emails same day (albeit sometimes to say "I'll sort that out for you tomorrow")

              suggest you mention my username when you sign up, NLUK is rich enough as it is

                I'm with Contratax Ltd (Martin) who posted above

                Top class service and guy. I use Freeagent with them.

                Price wise they I found them extremely competitive, and I spoke to a few accountants when looking to move (including others off here) I'd definitely give him a call and have a chat

                    Speak to Michael @ Bright Ideas Accountancy. They include FreeAgent in the package and so far (since setting up Ltd) have been first class.

                    ps tell them I sent you over

                      Another vote for Gorilla here.
                      Have you tried switching it off and back on again??
