The accountant will argue that the good relationship means they know what their preferred IP needs, format etc, whereas the assumption is another firm (ie us) will be really difficult and cause lots of extra work for the accountant (we don't).
I'm sure NW wouldn't look to do that. Indeed a few of MVLO's clients to date have been ex NW clients (whether that was before them having their own linked IP, or after for a modest fee saving I don't know).
