Most expensive accountants award

[Bluebird]

Shocking, not one of the well known ones surely?

probably Tesco Accountcy Services - well they sell everything else....

My accountant has cost me £1500 because he did not calculate my corporate taxes properly. And still hasn't because he is arguing with HMRC about it. I reckon they'll be dropping in for an audit sometime soon.

Don't be silly. If Tesco did accounting it would be called:

Tesco Value Accountancy Services

It would also be cheap as chips

Interesting my accountant would of made the same mistake if I had not been eagle eyed on my checking of what I was sent none of what I was sent tied up, lots of errors on mine, was it someone recommended from this forum, mine was, but Im keeping my lips shut, as people do make mistakes.

Name and shame otherwise we'll deduce that either....

A - You're making it up

or

B - It's because you screwed up your side of the paper filling.

But I'm sure it was neither so name please......

Hmmm mine was also recommended by the members of this board but has so far failed to impress.... I wonder if it is the same one?

Paystream

Sorry, been caught up trying to earn back money.

The 'accountants' in question are paystream, ala http://www.paystream.co.uk

I've checked their so called terms and conditions fine printer output, and the fees are clearly stated at

£26 per week. in a nicely boxed table. Then, about 5 paragraphs later, it states that....

once every quarter, we may charge an additional administration charge of between two and eight per cent....you will be notified of these charges etc.etc.

I got some advice on it, and his opinion was that, although deviously placed in the document, and suitably vague, it's there. Which, again in his opinion, is a grey enough area to make you go to court, and probably cost you in legal expenses what you will gain in winnings, if you get any.


If anyone else has an opinion on this, please do let me know.
