SJD Accountancy - charging me a year's fees to prepare final accounts

[northernladuk]

I've seen elsewhere that some people, as soon as they don't understand a charge or fee assume they're being ripped off, instead of proceeding sensibly and querying it. I don't know where this attitude has come from.

Indeed. We have had a couple of people take to the keyboard 'naming and shaming' in the last year and from what I can remember all were resolved by contacting the organisation in question. Two stand out where the OP had their asses handed to them on a plate in the public forum which was quite amusing.

I suspect that might have more to do with how much future business negative posts can cost them, rather than the companies being shining examples of virtue.

Having seen how easy year end accounts are (and having had to check my own accountants and point out the mistakes to them three times) Id have been quite tempted to do them myself if I were the op.

Yup can't argue that but the fact you made the effort to check them yourself 3 times would give you the perfect platform. The few I have in mind were first time shots by the poster with no justification or effort.
