But then, yes, it makes sense to get cover from either of those people.
Or he could just enjoy the shopping discounts if he's planning on a big purchase in the next year.
And then there would be unfortunate situation that the extremely unlikely happens....'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

As I keep saying, you are supposed to be learning a business (we can assume you already know how to do whatever it is you do to earn money). Anything that supports or speeds up that learning, or prevents expensive mistakes or misunderstandings, is not a waste of anything.Blog? What blog...?Comment

I don't want to put the cat amongst the pigeons here but how good are Dolan Accountancy v SJD and others? Do they offer the same services line by line if compared...?
(I'm aware that there are thousands of accountants out there and I need to do my own due diligence)Last edited by Dhrucku; 13 June 2018, 15:18.Comment

(I'm aware that there are thousands of accountants out there and I need to do my own due diligence)
And here is Dolan Accountancy site
https://www.dolanaccountancy.com/
Not sure doing diligence is really asking a bunch of strangers so time for you to do some homework.
EDIT : But I'll kinda kill this question in one sentence for you. Only one has Freeagent. The question you should be asking if which of the FA ones are good vs Dolan Accountancy. You are posting in a 25 page thread full of people leaving SJD so I think you've got your answer on the SJD question. .
And my opinion. Mr Dolan knows his stuff and he's got the same set up as most of the standard accountants we recommend but his company is new so not sure you'll get any evidence of the full cycle. So forget comparing to SJD and if you've got DA in your head then have quick chat with them on the phone to make sure you get on with them and go for it. As long as you stick to the recommended ones there is no need to over think it.Last edited by Contractor UK; 25 August 2021, 17:25.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
