[QUOTE=diesel;1056141][QUOTE=bulletprooffool;1056062]If there is any value in it - I am looking to start up a LTD company - basically need to sign on the dotted line . . and after opinions on CUK have phoned them twice today.

Phoned who?

Phoned SJD - I understand they may be busy, but if new business waits online for so long, I may just be better trying a smaller local accountant. . .

Try Nixon Williams then, no hanging on there!

Hi Bulletprooffool,

Sorry you’ve had problems getting through, we’ve not had any issues with our lines, that I'm aware of. I must say though it has been an incredibly busy January our busiest on record which must surely be a sign companies are once again on the hunt for contractors.

If you PM me I’m sure I can help or call the 0500 152500 (or if calling from a mobile use our head office number 01442 232700).

Cheers

Jaime

It's a shame you have to post on here to put your problems right. That may be an indication in itself.

New to contracting (had a spell through umbrella - 4 months in 2005) and on returning to country got offered my old perm role back but through agency so after a few weeks of umbrella company I decided to set up my company.

I incorporated it in October, started trading in December and after biting the bullet that for a first-timer I should get help with the accounting, I appointed NW. (I did check out others too but their spam emails for the sake of it - I lost count how many times SJD askd me how I'd heard of them - put me off).

Been first class so far, told them I'll need help retrospectively since I started trading with what I have withdrawn from company bank account since that date etc and wasn't an issue at all.

All I need is basic, PAYE scheme / payroll, how much I can give myself as a dividend and how often and help with corp tax / VAT returns. They said they can help me, others testify as to the fact they can so fingers crossed this is start of a long relationship!

Engineering Contractor for those interested.

Nixon Williams - see no advantage in having a "local" accountant (for me anyway). Very efficient, easily contactable and no daft spreadsheets to fill in.

I've been with SJD for two years and am about to leave! They are not proactive at all. If you want to pay someone for a service and then constantly chased them around for information or to check that they are doing what you are paying them for.....signup with SJD!

Any accountant recommendations welcome!

Who is better Uptons or NW...both seem similar in price, but what is service like?

I have had good service from Uptons for a couple of years now...

Aren't Uptons being investigated by the FSA, seem to recall something before Christmas.

I seem to remember reading that their bank account was frozen, try searching Moneymadeclear + upton
