Gorilla Accounting and workload

[xenomorph]

Hello

Anyone else here with Gorilla had a change of accountant from them stating that to provide service and fast turn around to clients they needed to change my accountant.
Now we all know that a good accountant not only depends on the company but individual accountant you get given. The one I been changed to sounds like a junior accountant. Which is not the best thing to happen right when its your end of year accounts!

Would people think better for me to try my luck with Dolan instead if I got changed to junior level person?
I know same could happen there but I hear good things about Dolan.

I think you'll struggle to find many larger setups that don't use juniors to be honest. I've found that the service I got has stayed the same and most standard questions were handled by my nominated contact at the time. Occassionaly got a 'get back to you' and they did. Still get my quarterly review, everything done on time and the like so I've no qualms so far. There is nothing overly complex about a standard contractor setup and FA does much of it so unless you've got some complex setup or don't want to understand your own accounts (no disrespect, some just let the accountant do it all) I'd rather give them a chance keeping a close eye on it than changing accountants before I've tried it. Better the devil you know and all that.

Be very careful. We have seen far to many threads start like this.

What do you mean be careful? In regards to making a thread like this or changing accountants?

There's too many of the sausage machine accountants where the service has gone from OKish to dreadful. Keep an eye on things and get out at the first sign things are going pear shaped. Of course, they might not.

Indeed but Gorilla have been using some level of junior staff for many years. Depends on what level but this isn't new by any stretch.

will see how it goes with the new person

Nobody said it was new. Given recent history I would be keeping a close eye on any of the sausage machine accountants no matter who they are.

I am with Gorilla for many years and so far cannot fault the service. If you have any concerns about your new accountant then I would suggest speaking to their customer service as I have always found to be helpful.

Agreed.
