    Good Afternoon,

    I have been monitoring the posts throughout this thread for the past couple of months and taken into consideration the concerns/issues that have been raised, passing on feedback accordingly. I have also sent private messages to each individual that has expressed any concern with the level of service, however in most cases I do not appear to have received a response, so I have been unable to address any individual concerns.

    If there are still any issues that you wish to discuss, please can you drop me a private message with your personal details (or alternatively email me at [email protected]) and I will be more than happy to look into your situation further.

    Many thanks in advance.

      Welcome Jake, just wondering why it’s taken over 3 months to get a reply? I know the service has dipped but 3 months!!!

      PS. I’ve received no private message, perhaps that’s the reason you haven’t got any replies... don’t bother sending a message as I can’t wait another 3 months!

        Why move to a small unknown distant individual or group just because they post here? I find the continual references here to Dolan enough to avoid them and any links with similar services.

        The days of pumping contractors who invoice similar amounts regularly are over.
        SJD and Nixon Williams have since been joined up with Clearsky and Parasol into a huge supergroup, all backed by private equity. It’s a shame that the attention to service has fallen, probably not helped by the huge exodus of experience since they were sold off.
        "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

              In the same boat

              Historically, had some great account handlers (Adam Grice, Jake was quite good)
              More recently, it is terrible.

              Has anyone moved accountant recently - was it an overly painful experience?

              I am about to.

                  The migration process is very simple and the only pain is carrying on paying for a crappy service during the 1 month notice period.

                  To make things even more easier, find out which new accounting startup the ex-accountants have joined as the best staff are always the first to go when the ship starts to sink.

                  I can PM you the details if you want.

Used to be great but now I have to chase things every quarter and have also just had to forward my 'main contact' details of what her team leader put through in June as she had nothing on record. Some process / procedure issues there I think. Leaving at next year end.

                    Who is this you are referring to? What is her forename?

                    Lee Wilson was decent two years ago. I do not know about now. I left a few months ago as my key accountant lost contact and things were being missed. There are lots of accountancies out there, so there is little reason to commit to staying with a sausage factory accountancy. These group of accountants include ClearSky, NixonWilliams, SJD amongst others.

                    Psychocandy: no offence mate, but your naivety displayed on this forum and endorsement of NixonWilliams is likely to fill the sensible readers with dread regarding this accountancy firm.

                      Given the forecast for next week, I'd be more worried about bleeding the radiators.
