    Changing Accountant, do they agree for a service agreement

    I'm dumping my accountant and was wondering if I can write down the services which I need and get a formal agreement (on paper??) with the new one (yet to decide) ?

    I don't want to get into the same trouble again..

    Do thee guys agree for such agreement?

    Cheers..

    My accountant made it clear which services were provided in the monthly fee, and which ones cost extra when I signed up. I expect the others would do the same - I doubt whether they'd make individual agreements with each contractor

      .

      Your accountant should have (and may have) made clear in his engagement letter the scope of the services which he/she was to provide and if this was under a fixed price should have been backed up by a fixed price agreement. Details of charging for work outside the scope of your engagement should also have been disclosed.

        Accountants won't make a bespoke service for you.

          Accountants will. Contractor accountants you find here won't. There's a difference...

            I would suggest that if you are wanting a bespoke package then this may cost you more than a pre-packaged service. I don't think you should have a problem as long as your requests are reasonable. If you would like to send your requests to me l'd be happy to quote you.
