    What would you do in my position?
    Well I would have picked up to phone to speak to them to be honest... but I guess you got your answer.

      You could try here:

      Ask which professional body they belong to, I couldn’t see one mentioned on their website though.

        Quite possibly they don't. IIRC, SJD have no professional affiliation and are NW's sister company.

          I’ve previously escalated complaints to the team manager and practice manger and was fobbed with excuses regarding annual leave. However this is now becoming the norm rather than the exception and growing increasingly frustrated. They don’t even seem to care what’s stated in their own client charter.

          I will ask which profession body they belong to.

            What use is that though? I doubt the professional body will be interested in them not responding to your mails for a couple of days. If you are consistently getting a bad service then leave.

              You’re right leaving is the only option left but will have to wait till my year end. Fundamentally the service provided does not meet what’s advertised on their website.

                After a little more digging I’ve identified the root cause of my issues. 2 accountants have left NW including my own in the last few weeks. I wasn’t notified nor re-assigned an accountant and the Vantage portal still displays the name of the accountant no longer with the company.

                Investigating further I believe they have lost double digit staff numbers in the past 12-18 months, taking with them years of valuable knowledge and experience.

                In summary, expect a bumpy ride whilst they recover from the casualties and cauterise the wounds.

                  Am afraid to say that the professional bodies are almost entirely useless when dealing with complaints about service. Far better to take up these sorts of issues with the MD, failing that, just leave. Its very easy and far less hassle than you may be lead to believe.

                    Complaining is a waste of time, their perception is the service is great. Voting with your feet as the paying customer is the only solution.

                      Not sure about the only solution, but certainly the easiest and probably best.
