    Dunno. It was all part of a garage build.

Didn't look like the work was progressing very well and then found out it's his house!! Oh how I laughed <PC mode off>

    We're equal opportunity that way.

    Your company records are public record and fair game, you know. Someone pointed it out to me a while back and I thought it was strange for you to be late. But since I may be looking for a new accountant, I was checking on all our friends here last week and found you were STILL not up to date. (Yes, I'm the kind of person who checks CH when choosing an accountant, everyone should actually.)

    And honestly, it does reflect on you and makes me much less likely to call you if I do decide to change accountants. For your own good you should fix it. But I do appreciate you responding.

    Hey guys. Thought we were ripping into Nixon Williams, not me!

    Yes, there was an ownership issue so we opened up another company. And you’re right, I should have filed and kept up to date but a cobblers kids are always the worst shod.

    Still, at least Craig is enjoying the show.

    Me neither - can't log in. Even the reset password link doesn't work & I have to keep calling them.

    One would expect the "best freeagent accountant in Edinburgh" to file his own accounts on time and not be under an "Active proposal to strike off." If I changed to your firm, Alan, would you be over five months late on filing my accounts like you are on your own, and three months late on my confirmation statement?

    "Freeagent" is all well and good, but the main thing I want an accountant to do is make sure everything gets filed on time, and when I go checking one out, as I was doing recently, this kind of thing is instant red flag for me. Especially when I notice this isn't the first time it's happened with Broome Affinity....

    I can perhaps understand missing something by a week, somebody gets ill, or whatever. But six months? Doesn't Freeagent do pretty much everything for you? How hard is the confirmation statement to do in a timely manner?
    Bravo!
