    Accountant wants to charge more due to changes

    About a month. The best and easiest time to switch is on your company year end.

    Accountant wants to charge more due to changes

    Already have. I've just signed up with Gorilla Accounting who are cheaper, have quarterly reviews and also include FreeAgent in their fee.

    Accountant wants to charge more due to changes

    Well I am currently with InTouch and they are one of the accounting firms charging a fee for tax planning for next year. I really do think this is cheeky since their service includes tax planning and for the last couple of years, I've not had a single review of my accounts until now when I...

    Newbie - So who writes the 'contract'? Getting it watertight.

    You're overthinking it. The typical steps are (assuming the role is via an agency): 1. Secure a gig 2. Agency send you contract 3. You get it reviewed 4. Negotiate changes if required and sign when happy

    Free VOIP Solution suggestion

    Should have been clearer in my reply. I'm not sure if links are permitted but "Obihai Technology" should have been the complete search string. It's a cost effective way of implementing a voip solution with the added bonus of being able to set up google voice

    Contractor mortgage broker fees - is it worth it?

    I went with as-financial and couldn't be happier with the service received. Speak with Martin. There's no charge for cuk members and I know I couldn't have got a better service had I paid for it. They also have access to specialist underwriters. It's the reason they were able to sort out my...

    Contractor Mortgages - What are they like...any good?

    Look no further than Martin from AS-Financial. I just got a mortgage and remortgage through them and had both agreed in 6 days! It was a probate property so it was a race to the survey to secure it. They pulled out all the stops and managed to secure the property even though the other parties...

    Contract - Electronically Signed - No Signed copy for me

    Usually, when you sign something electronically, it would have been countersigned before making it available for you to sign. Once you sign it, more often than not, there's an option to download / print also.

    IPSE or another insurance provider

    Thanks for the replies and the link to the other thread. Based on the replies, I think I'll stick with the IPSE. I only want insurance, specifically in case of any tax investigations. As I understand it, QDOS only cover the costs of any penalty that arise from a tax investigation whereas IPSE...

    IPSE or another insurance provider

    I have been contracting for a number of years and always had a subscription with the PCG, now IPSE. My subscription is due for renewal soon and was wondering if it was better to ditch IPSE and look for alternative policies such as those offered by QDOS etc or if it's still worth being an IPSE...
