Just signed up with a new accountant as I've just started my contract.
He was recommended by a friend and he was the only one in the area certified by the PCG. I phoned him and he seemed a really nice, helpful guy and the services he provided were great as was the price.
So he set the company up for me, IR35 reviewed my contract at short notice, and off I went on my contract.
Only problem is now he seems happy to go and arrange things. I'm a bit uptight and like to know exactly how things work etc. but I feel as if I'm constantly hassling him.
For instance, he'll happily answer my questions if I phone him but usually I get the impression that hes trying to say to me - dont worry its all in control.
I even asked him about paying for the company setup, and officially signing up for his services. His answer was dont worry we'll sort that out again I trust you. Cant believe how chilled this fella is !!
Is this normal for accountants? Last time I contracted I went through a company called Giant (who were crap) but they gave me documents about procedures about how this worked etc.
With this accountant, hes yet to tell me when payroll will be done, how to record my expenses, etc etc.
Should I just be patient? Or is it fair game to hassle the accountant as much as you feel necessary?
