Upton & Co restraining and freezing injunctions
Oh come on you don't really believe that do you? So you think it's best to choose an accountant who has no staff, no support, who answers all the calls whether it be from prospective customers, existing clients or somebody trying to sell them a new photocopier, has to worry about paying their...- williamdavis

Upton & Co restraining and freezing injunctions
Interesting point, I suppose you could always check out their websites, give them a call, see what they offer, review their credentials, see if they've had any issues, ask other contractors and then chose who you think will provide the best level of service that most meets your requirements...- williamdavis

Jono you are the first person I have ever heard who casually said 'I did and still do have the odd question'. The 'odd question' are you joking? Everybody I know who went contracting, including me, didn't just have the odd question, they had literally hundreds of questions. This forum is...- williamdavis

It wasn't my intention but can't speak for others on this thread. All I was looking for was for somebody to point me in the right direction: which they did: http://forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/46420-upton-accountants-trouble.html Like I said Darren seems like a respectable chap...- williamdavis

Upton & Co restraining and freezing injunctions
One of the permies in the office sent it to me, I saw the JSA, Sunday Solutions, Albany, offshore scheme posts and wanted to know what was going on, I'm a bit nosey like that plus it was a dull day in the office. I've seen Darren's posts in the past and he always seemed like an ok kind of guy...- williamdavis

Alternatively Darren - I guess if I know exactly what I'm doing and have no questions I could always use PlanIT's FREE ePlan online system (massive advert on this forum) and pay a local accountant £120 once a year to do my self assessment and save myself £714. Or even buy a book and do it all...- williamdavis

Hi Darren, I've just checked out your site and was a little surprised to read that one of the requirements of being an account manager and by being an account manager I take it this will be the person who is supposed to answer all my questions about contracting, in fact as you detail so...- williamdavis

SJD accountancy?
My advice would be to give the companies a call, I use the company you first thought of using. I use them because I get an accountant and not some stud in a call centre, I have had an occasion to meet with my accountant, not often but nice to know I can, he always gets back to me and answers...- williamdavis

Why did you get into contracting
This totally and utterly F's me off, why should a company have the right to approve or deny a holiday request based on where I'm going? What the **** has it to do with them!:mad This is bringing back horrible memories of having to make up spurious stories about grand parents, sick children and...- williamdavis

Why did you get into contracting
Must be state side. In a few permie roles, I've had flexi-time and also been allocated 30 days holiday. However, when requesting two weeks off it was nearly always refused due to mission critical times and was only allowed 5 days at best. I nearly always lost these days at the end of the year...- williamdavis

Why did you get into contracting
For me it was simply a case of losing faith in the corporate structure, seeing ridiculous people being promoted due to their friendship with the boss rather than their ability, hating my idiot boss and getting bored of long unpaid and unappreciated hours. Contracting isn't easy, but it is...- williamdavis

What's happening SJD?? (Scottish branch)
Same here, I've been with SJD for a while (my accountant is Darryl in the Brum office), and I've got to say they pretty much live up to their promises. I picked SJD due to their national coverage and have on occasion met up with Darryl, the awards and other stuff just make it an easy decision...- williamdavis

Inside IR35 and using a limited company
OK thanks (and what do you mean 4/10, surely I automatically get 5/10 just for posting and referring to you geniuses). So...if I can negotiate with the client and get the contract to be reworded, I'll be okay? However, in the unlikly event of an investigation do the Revenue communicate...- williamdavis
