Nixon Williams accoutancy fees rise

The increase in fees is too much for a least 3 contractors I know using Nixons so they are planning to move, it's alot more than I'm paying and I get good service. There are a number of smaller accountants specialising in contractors out there that are £60 plus vat a month.
Considering the current climate as well and descreasing rates for alot of contractors such a price rise for Nixons might not bring in the extra revenue expected when clients leaving is factored in.
I notice alot of the big contractor accoutancts charge around the same and alot more than the smaller ones, surely the larger ones should have some level of economy of scale so don't understand why there fees are so much higher.Last edited by Bumfluff; 6 June 2012, 10:39.Comment

How hard/easy is it to switch? Is having an accountant who is listed as a representative of the co a PITA to deal with?
Anybody done it?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

My switch ClearSky -> InTouch was very easy. Although IIRC InTouch was founded by ex-Quay (ClearSky) people in the first place.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I believe InTouch put their fees up last year (to £85 + VAT) so hopefully no further rises due. I think a difference of a tenner or so is one thing, but when different accountants are charging such different amounts for very similar services it's difficult to understand the huge difference in fees.
I guess they rely on laziness to stop most of us switching.Comment

I heard Lima accountancy was good to.
Its defo the fears it complicated to move accountants that puts people off and it did for me, but it was alot simplier than I thought wish I had done it long time ago.
Time for contractors to start showing the big boys they don't think they get value for £.
On a side note though I wish I had set one of these contractor accountant business up , nice business model must make a pretty profit.
