        In the last 4 years I've started 2 contracts in December and 1 in January, so I'm not convinced it makes much difference.
        What seems to happen is my phone is fairly quiet during this time and I only get calls from those with relevant roles.
        I've decided that the frequency of relevant roles for me is consistent all year round, but I just get more irrelevant role 'noise' at some points of the year.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            ^^^ I just remember reading that there are indeed some quiet periods during the year (I know august is one). Thought I'd ask.

            I've been sent the contract and will be getting it reviewed by my accountant. So will be starting Monday!

              Well done.

              You would be better off getting your contract reviewed by QDOS/B&C rather than your accountant.

                Quieter in the summer months (school holiday period).

                January can be OK as some clients give the agents the specs in December to get ready for new year - often budgets come on line in January and the savvy clients want to steal a march on the market and get the better candidates signed up sooner.

                  You wouldn't really want a contract specialist reviewing your accounts so why have an accountant review your contract? I know some accountants offer this service but get a specialist to do it.

                    Which one should I choose? Qdos or bandc? And which products? Thinking just full IR35 contract review?

                      Choice is up to you but if you do a search on forums you will find peope who have used one or t'other.

                      Do you have Professional Indemnity/ Public Liability Insurance? IIRC, if you buy both from QDOS you get 3 free contract reviews.
