Has anybody had any experience with Crunch? Do you find them proactive, or is it really just free agent with an accountant on the phone when you need one?

I don't know Crunch themselves but I have been through 3 'contractor specialist' accountants over the years.
I have to say that none of them were proactive...Older and ...well, just older!! -
Have used Crunch for one year now with no problems. I can't compare them with others as this is the only one I have used. The online accountancy system they provide is very good. Also they have answered all my and email/phone queries satisfactorily. Their fees are very competitive £59.50 a monthOriginally posted by escapeUK View PostComment

I'd be really interested in more responses here. I was looking at them, but often in life I seem to go for things that seem good and often end up wishing I'd followed a simpler strategy. I'm looking at moving from a rubbish local accountant to Nixon Williams (as a mate is using them just fine, but I thought I knew better...) but Crunch seem very appealing from the online services they also offer... But really don't want to regret using them compared to a "big" company like NW who seem very good. I did see Crunch coming top of a number of comparison sites. I think I'd like "permission" to use them too.Comment

I use Nixon Williams and can fully recommend.
If you are considering crunch, do you know anyone who uses them? You have a personal recommendation for Nixon Williams, so why not go with that?
As for comparison sites, I would treat their league tables with a large pinch of salt!"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

From my perspective, the online visibility of invoices and things is appealing, but TBH since reading up about crunch it seems extremely clear that the level of knowledge and feedback I'd be getting from NW is significantly higher. I need to be nagged and prodded to get important money stuff done sometimes... Maybe I'd use Crunch when I feel like I know what I'm doing, but a shiny website and a cheaper (and different) service is hardly a good reason...Comment

Over the last decade or so I've used JSA, SJD, Quay, ClearSky and now Crunch. Moved accountants when after around 3 years each of the first 4 upped their fees by more than 30% to over £100 a month inc VAT. Crunch charge just £59.50 ex VAT a month.
I would certainly recommend Crunch. Their web based software is very good, i.e. simple and clear to use and gets regular upgrades of new functionality. You can speak to your accountant without a problem and they are a real friendly bunch. Speak to Angelo if you have any questions, the transfer was painless for me.
