Accountant recommendation threads inc local requests

[Lance]

I have seen them advertised on CUK for many years and think Luisa who used to post on here runs one of them. And also never seen anything bad about them (unlike gorilla) which is always a good sign - no news is good news - so if I was looking would consider them.

but they are more expensive than Gorilla and, like any accountants, if you can't be arsed to make it work it won't work out for you.I'm not sure I'd want to use Aardvark on the basis of "no news is good news".
They may well be fine, but there are other, well recommended accountants, that cost less.

Well I mean no news is good news = never heard a complaint on here - which is positive for this forum and the fact they have been around for many years so can only be a good thing OR they have zero clients, but am sure the former. I have seen SG accounting advertised for many years is all I am saying and never seen anything bad - so not used personally but saying that is a good signal in answer to the original question. Price is not everything Lance as am sure you know.

unlike gorilla? Can you elaborate?

Only from memory there were issues with the marketing and I remember getting a letter from them and slating my accountant at the time - which was seen as a bit maybe aggressive. I have not used their service but can not comment at all and seems ok on this forum. But personally I would also be conscious of recommendations that also have a referral fee tagged along with it.

any feedback on intouch accounting vs gorilla accounting?

I am with Gorilla and I personally think(after reading online feedback and personal experience) they are far better than many of the others. Dedicated accountant and same day response service gives me a peace of mind that if there is anything urgent, I can just pick up the phone and get straight to my accountant!

Happy to share my referral if you decide to join them.

The following two have been long termers in the list but a bit of noise about the recently.

Myself, if I were wanting an accountant, the first firm I would call are Maslins. I like what they say. I also like very much that the firm is employee owned and is immune to selling out for top dollar.

^^^^ InTouch went seriously downhill when Clare and Craig left. Definitely worth considering Clarity Taxation.
