Accountant: End of year accounts.
I use JSA as an Umbrella too, overall, a good responsive service. On a side note, QwertyBerty, where would you recommend as a good starting point for learning more accountancy skills?- gtr

Messing around with payment
That would make my year. :rollin: Do you think it's worth trying CAB then? or should I just go ahead with the threat of a CCJ? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot.- gtr

Messing around with payment
Yeah that's what I had in mind too. Unfortunately I don't have a written contract as such but I have got emails with them before I started work there, stating my hourly rate, payment schedule etc. Hindsight is a wonderful thing hey! The worst thing is that I worked there for a long time before...- gtr

Your Favourite Umbrella..
I've been with JSA for the past 5 months. Pretty good, always someone at the end of the phone and the txt messages they send to confirm invoices and payment are quite handy.- gtr

The "How old are you?" thread
Hi everyone! Just joined here. I've only been contracting for the past 2 months or so now and it's going well but I thought it might be interesting to find out how old you lot are and maybe, more relevently, how old were you when you first started out. All other contractors I know in real life...
