any good?

My friend says they really look after your interests and give you advise and tell you to do things like claiming tax back, i am currently with parasol but started this new contract 1 month in and i think its time to go Ltd.

Have any of you fine gentleman used them?

They have been good for em. I've been with them for years...
No problems at all..

I've recently signed up with them, and although there are some quiet periods now and again, they have dealt with a modestly complex "set-up" pretty well I think.

Impersonal Sausage Factory service, I heard. Get a smaller personal firm.

That isn't too wide of the mark IMHO. I use them and I'm happy with them despite this.

When I have required out of the ordinary assistance with anything they have always been on the end of the phone and sorted me out (for no extra fee).

I will however go months/years without anything other than a monthly e-mail to them, so if you need handholding every step of the way they may not be for you.

best avoided in my opinion

we used them for our company for the 1st year. ended up having to change.

reasons were:
1) the accounting forms we had to fill in each month were time consuming. i might as well have done my own accounts by the time I'd filled in the information.
2) lack of pro-active advice.
3) some basic errors that I had to point out in their accounts (and i'm not an accountant)
4) constantly changing contact person.

I believe that's par for the course with this kind of so called "contractor specialist". Big on promises. Short on delivery. I have been thinking of swapping from another of these outfits to Quay as Quay are far cheaper after a fairly big recent increase where I am now.
