Anyone have any BAD experiences?

They both look to be very good. I am doing IT Management contracting - nothing overly fancy. Thanks!

Out of the 2 you have decided to go for I would go for SG, just because you will get a Free Agent account with SG. This means you can easily move away from them in the future if you find out you made the wrong choice.

I believe the people behind SG also have setup another accountancy firm called Aardvark Accounting Ltd. I'm not sure why they would do this and what is the difference between the 2 accountancy firms but you can always ask them and see if they say anything sensible.

Qdos is probably the bigger name of the two although I don't think you will get a Free Agent account with these guys so thread carefully.

Thank you Jessica - that sounds like a good description of us at SG.

Qdos, different type of firm, but again, a1 reputation.

I think you’d be looked after by either.

QDOS get a decent rep on here. Haven’t seen SG mentioned at all.
