Reasonable turnaround time for year end accounts?

Still haven't got them. If there was ever a moment where I thought I'd go back to SJD that's well and truly done now. 14 weeks since I sent the docs.

I send my trial balance and bank statements over to my accountant within two weeks of year end and get something back within three weeks. I then have the next 8 months ish to save up for my CT bill and pay that only a couple of days before its due.

Oh, you pay on time? Interesting....

From what I remember SJD would only do them in the period they do everyone's. A friend of mine wanted it doing early for a mortgage and they made him pay extra for the pleasure. Doesn't surprise me this.

Blimey. Wish I hadn't said anything now :|

Just for balance, I'd note that I'm very happy with the turnaround I received from SJD. Just over 4 weeks from submission of the relevant files to them to having an agreed & signed-off set of accounts - and two weeks of that was me questioning various things which weren't (with one exception) actually changed. CT submitted to Phil Hammond esq. 8 months early, to receive a super-generous 0.5% interest from my friends at the Revenue (I'd not be getting any interest on it sitting in my company account).

I know you were joking. But how many people drift through and would take you at your word? The majority of people, I suspect.

Don't fret. Everyone clocks he's a know-nothing bozo.
