1stonline accountants - Any experiences?

Hi Fred,

I'd be interested to know more about them. However I cannot find the option to PM you..is it because i'm a newbie and its not enabled?

Ask Admin for PM access. If I were you I'd PM Fred all your questions. He's very knowledgable and has first hand experiences so I'd ask him anything and everything you need to know... HTH

That goes against everything I've ever done in the past - I've always sent them to you for your sympathetic responses!

good and uses freeagent

I've been with 1stonline for last 3 years on the premium package. So £59.99 pm and has been good.
They won't give opinion as such (but I guess most of the folks these days won't give opinion), but apart from that they do all admin stuff pretty well. They will file corp tax docs, annual accounts etc. and pretty good in responding to issues and help if you get stuck.

This year onwards, they have given more self service options so have to submit VAT returns automatically through Freeagent. It is easy, but you need to put reminder. But overall, i would recommend

What do you mean they won't give opinion? On certain situations to do with your tax?

Looking at them on Companies House, if they can't manage their own business, I'd be concerned about them managing mine.
1 outstanding confirmation against the company for the last 8 weeks and 3 charges against the parent company.
There's also been changes of address and directorships over the last few months.

I only see one charge, for a loan? Would expect them to get the confirmation statement right though! Curious as to what has gone on with them moving offices. Not had any issues with them yet though.
