Poor for me....ages to reply to emails and have also given me some very serious incorrect advice relating to my profession. Am about to submit a formal complaint and leave them.

All accountants, big or small, can drop the ball for a number of reasons. Clients, rightly, vote with feet. A firms star ascends, later it descends - same with banks, insurers, what ever.
Glass houses, stones, Etc.

The last one we took over looked a right mess, so we got the client to tell Brookson to shut down the company and we opened a new clean one, so we had no handover worries at all re VAT, PAYE etc., but they still managed to foul up the cessation accounts and the client's tax return!

We have started advising any potential clients of these timescales in order to manage expectations - we'd hate them to think it was us

Bit confused by some posts in here. Is it a bit like "the wife" comments, where we all love a good moan, but also know they're not too bad so stick with who we're with?!

Bless. This morning they asked me for the information I provided on 22 Feb. Hard to believe they could be so bad at what they do.
