Experian background check - occupation history

[hobnob]

There is no rule against your accountant also being your company secretary, but in the absence of law who knows how HMRC will choose to interpret it?

I'm curious about why you have a company secretary at all. Is this just a legacy thing from the 1990s (when it used to be a requirement)? MyCo has never had a secretary.

Yes, MyCo was incorporated many years ago.

But to the OP's issue, your accountant can probably serve perfectly well as a referee.
They can assert that you have been continually employed by MyCo, if indeed you have.

But it depends on what the people asking find suitable.
If you are a one man band, I can't think of who else could act as a referee, unless they are angling for references from all the ultimate clients over a period of time.

Who were definitely not your employers..
