I'm not taking pot shots. I'm pointing something out that's been a theme in his posts from the beginning which makes a majority of them look like absolutely garbage. He'd be doing himself and everyone trying to read his posts a favour.

But if you want to keep banging on at me about what you see in one thread without understanding any of the history, like you didn't when you mentioned NW and inTouch then feel free. It's not me that it makes look stupid.

You can comment on what it makes me look like but believe me we are well passed that one......

Jesus Christ

Blah blah, blah.

I'm done for today.

Have a nice evening.

What!!! Can you explain this please?

Anyway, maybe his point is that it's better to have an honest accountant that he knows for years than an unknown one.

His 'honest' accountant appears to be screwing it up royally at present.

I do wish you'd get a grammar checker at the very least. Why not post in the Technical forum to see if someone can suggest one.

(And yes, I know I'm not perfect, but if you're going to take pot shots at someone over their spelling, you might want to check your own posts today first #justsaying)

Thank you for your help.
English is not my mother tongue but I suspected that something was very wrong.

It's not that straight forward. If his dad is a contractor the answer could have been yes he does have experience with contractors but with only one so doesn't really get to the point I needed to make. I was also hoping his Dad wasn't a contractor song could further make the point just doing what his dad does isn't always there right thing.

It's none of your business.

Well no but it's a question that helps me give advice and make a point. But thanks for pointing that out. Really helpful. :
Gold star because it actually made sense though.

You should ask if his accountant has experience with contractors.

no, not a contractor

WoW... have you not listened to anything anyone has said

Is your Dad a contractor?

Well it's your business but your relationship with them appears to fallen apart rather spectactually so doesn't bode well for the future and even if you get it all back to being warm and cuddly they don't offer a service suited to you.

I am still of the opinion that whatever happens here you cut loose and start again. You pay professionals for an easy life, not all this grief. It's your business though......

Hi, its the same accountant my dad uses for his work therefore, I had an initial meeting with the acct's and explained my line of work, rates etc and then went forward with these guys.

And again... How did you select the new accountant?

Hello, :-) thanks for your responses.

My current accountants are not contractor specialists. They are the same local firm that is used by my Dad so thought it'd be good to use them as well.

I have emailed my accountants and requested them to put in writing what my prev accts missed out. And asked why they didn't chase, or ask me to chase, and why they failed to advise me of the extra costs up until now. I've not signed any contract so hoping I can argue my case. As they have said 6-months clear-up will cost flat rate monthly fee (and I'm paying over the odds for the service - £165pm!). I have lined up another accountant who will save me £65pm. And asked them to provide total service time to cleanup the 6months. As the bulk of the work for this period i.e. working out tax/ni/vat/salary was already calculated by previous accts. And shouldn't/can't ask for the full flat rate.
