The £100 is a deposit and it will be deducted from the first monthly payments. I have just started using them and they have been very efficient so far. Every query I emailed them has been replied within the dayCarpe Pactum

Yeah I use them. I'm brand new to contracting and as such have made my finances a bit messy to start with but NW are on the case and they've answered all my queries promptly. Hopefully by the end of this month/start of Feb I'll be in the ideal position of just sending off paperwork and forgetting about doing anything other than logging onto various internet bank accounts. Plus they have possibly the best address for an accountancy firm.

As has been answered, the deposit is offset against the first fees. We supply the company and all the setup free of charge.Originally posted by DiestlHi, Im looking to use Nixon Williams as my accountants, however they are asking for £100 upfront, is this normal?

A deposit is not unreasonable I guess it shows that you are serious and not a time waster. I use Nixon's and they are great at answering any questions and dealing with your affairs promptly."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." CiceroComment

The usual suspects on here for accounting all get positive feedback as a rule (SJD, Nixon Williams, 1st Accountancy (Upton & co).
With that in mind, surely it makes sense to go with the cheapest to maximize profits for your Ltd.
I'm currently in the position where my accountant is not the cheapest & I'm wondering why I haven't changed yet. Answers on a postcard . . .Comment
