Accountant recommendation threads inc local requests

[Age quod agis]

As a matter of fact I do. They just "fired" me (letter of disengagement) as a client after only 3 months because I had the audacity to suggest they should encrypt payslips when emailing them. It wasn't even a complaint, just a single "I am disappointed" email, offer constructive feedback on how it would improve privacy and security for their clients.

So my suggestion - stay away from them unless you want the hassle of searching for a new accountant shortly after this search.

You a Cyber Security contractor by any chance?

Has anyone got any experience with cheapaccounting dot co dot uk? I'm thinking of switching to them.

I wonder if they are as good as the cheapestofthecheap dot co dot uk.

Not the best feedback. You got yourself fired for a fairly daft suggestion.

There is only one thread on here back from 2011 asking about feedback and none was given so nothing historic.

That name though......

I have always used a local accountant who is not one of the big players that a lot of people of this forum use. They though also specialise in IT contractors, yet offer the local presence and personal feel that I am comfortable with.

Why not try Tulip Smart Grope. With Gorilla you have to pay additional fees. Whereas with Tulip Smart Grope its one fixed fee covers all.

I believe this thread is for recommendations from satisfied customers (ideally with post counts higher than about 3), not for accountants to recommend themselves.

Hi,

I am looking to move away from SJD. Too many costly mistakes.

Regarding Gorilla, I note that the do not have any offices in London, whereas I am based in London.

Will that matter ?

Not one bit.

Nope. I've never been to my accountant in 7 years. I was with SJD before I went to Gorilla as well. No mailing spreadsheets backwards either because they use Freeagent. They do a quarterly review when they do the VAT as well.
