Local vs. online accounting

[simondolan]

You've got to be vigilant. I think that SJD / NW clients will attract the attention of Hector because they know what they specialise in.

Having said that their advice and service seems to be pretty good according to all their clients on this site.

I can't speak for NW but we have far less than the average number of Revenue enquiries on our clients - 6 current out of a client base of just over 7000. The national average I believe is between 1 and 2%.

This would suggest that a good, specialist firm is a far safer bet than a one man band.

I do like a scrap but this seems a bit playground. Thats what I get for spamming I suppose! Lesson learned.

Simon, I love you - and your dad - can we be friends?

My original point however, wasn't meant to be about tax enquiries as such - more about status enquiries and in the light of recent legislation (and proposed legislation post-Arctic) HMRC will be paying special attention to contractors - again. I hope its not the case (genuinely) because SJD are held to be one of the best - but i owuld have thought a simple way for one of Hector's Army to get some contractors would be to look on the database for people who use contractor specialist accountants.

If you are going to spam you might want to have a method of people contacting you....

I can see the point you are making, but a far simpler, and more productive way for the Revenue to round up contractors if they wany to is to sort them by SIC code direct from Co House.

Consider a local or smaller firm who has extensive experience in the freelancer industry. Like (and here comes the spam) ME.

We also have very few enquiries, probably a handful each year, and all are handled by us on your behalf. Provided a client has not been silly there is nothing to fear from an enquiry anyway.

I'll get my coat.

Now there's a personal service that most don't offer.

Ouch.
