+1 for Gorilla Accounting. Recommended by a lad here. Lauren has been absolutely top notch. Everything is on FreeAgent too, so you can chop and change in the future more easily if things do go downhill.
I was DIY accounts for a bit after a poor accountant experience.
A good accountant pays for itself many times over.
A bad accountant does not.

Either way. Time to go.

Ah ha. The companies in that group quite often get bad press here.

Totally Dissatisfied with my Accountant
I posted earlier in the Contract Accountants Are They Worth It? thread....
Originally posted by Roll Out The Farrell View PostGlad I saw this thread as I was about to start a similar one.
I've been using one of the main "contract" accountancy firms since 2010 & they've gone way down hill, to be sure.
They had some kind of restructuring a couple of years back and I lost my regular guy who was actually very good. Now response times are awful and they leave everything to the last minute and even got my last VAT return wrong. My assigned "accountant" also couldn't give me any advice on capital gains as it was out of his remit.
What's the point in paying £120 pcm for that kind of service? I may as well just use a local outfit and get them to bill me by the hour.
This, on top of everything else, is it for me. What happened to this company (one of the main providers)? And here's a clue, name begins with an N and a W.Tags: None
