Originally posted by Craig at Nixon Williams View PostA few of us at NW have received the PCG accredited accountant training and are able to carry out a contract review, but the existing specialists in this area already have a great reputation and can offer it at a much lower price than we could as new entrants to the market. We’d rather stick to what we’re good at and leave the contract reviews to those who are good at reviewing contracts.

I'm with NW and they are, as I've said many times, excellent beyond belief. Really are.
Before NW I had a local accountant who was useless beyond belief. He was PCG accredited too. Quite how he managed to get that I'll never know (unless he was lying) because the guy was completely clueless.
Point being I'd much rather a good accountant who knows how to deal with contractors than someone who claims to be PCG accredited.
(I try to comment to PCG afterwards but they weren't interested to be honest unless he'd been specifically negligent. Bit disappointed that they are happy to list people but dont care if they're crap or not).

We recommend Qdos for contract reviews, they have a lot of experience with IR35 and the feedback that we get from clients has been very positive.
I'd suggest the likes of Qdos, B&C (or the likes of) are in a much better position to review contracts than any accountant is as they are legal specialists and can offer insurance to cover you in an enquiry.

For the most part, they reach the same conclusion.....
But IR35 is subjective to some degree, so it's entirely possible that different people reach different conclusions on certain points. But a review from Qdos may well be more detailed as they'll consider working conditions, and IR35 is what they do. It's all they do. It has to be better peace of mind.
If I was a contractor I'd join the PCG, get contract reviews done by a specialist and get IR35 insurance. None of that is massively expensive, but it could be a lifesaver later on.

Search for 'contract review' or QDOS.
You will find everything you need to know about the contract. It will help you in the next steps and detail all the gotchas. IR35 is very complex so make you research it well and understand it.
Originally posted by Clare@InTouch View PostWe're starting to suggest people think about Qdos, PCG or Bauer & Cottrell for contract reviews these days. Whilst we know about IR35 and can discuss it in detail, a formal contract review from a specialist firm will be better to rely on as proof of due diligence should HMRC come knocking. With the increase in activity in this area I'd advise as much proof as possible.
