    Mostly from the Account Manager who to date has managed things perfectly well and answered all technical quetstions by return. Some from the lady wot does the payroll, reminders from the lady wot does the VAT and reminders from the admin team. Plus there's the real accountant should I need one.

    Personally I neither want nor need personal service from named individuals, I want a service that works not a pen pal. Who delivers it is pretty much irrelevant. YMMV

    Can someone write a script, where if the title contains "Recommend" "accountant", it does not create a new thread, and redirects the user to the post that NLUK wrote somewhere listing all the useful info. Can work along with the profanity filter I guess?

    Wonder if the fact the poster put this in the business/contracts section and not the Accounting/Legal one might be a factor??

    Could anybody recommend any decent accountants for IT Contracting other than SJD as they have completely messed up my accounts for the last 3 years and are far too expensive and incompetent as far as I am concerned.
    Hi,

    I am very sorry to read your complaint.

    To try and resolve this, could you please PM or email daniel.mossatsjdaccountancy.com with the details of your accountant and I'll see if there is anything I can do to help resolve this for you as we have clearly not delivered the service I would expect.

    Thank you

    Just a thought from me... I do find it very difficult a company the size of SJD can get something wrong 3 times in a row.... What I do find easier to understand that one of the people at SJD could. If someone messed my accounts up I would expect the person that did them to be responsible, not the whole company... but saying that when you are so hacked off I am sure you would just blame the whole set up I guess.

    As I have had good service before I would be asking for change of person first before sacking the whole lot.. but that is IMO...

    Presumably you have taken your complaint to them direct?

    With regards to staying with a provider that is incompetent and messes everything up..............3 years..................seriously???

    We get this asked a lot so I put a thread together awhile ago. I am also with SJD and also very happy with their service but tried to be impartial in the thread.

    It is made up of accountants that have been recommended on here in the past as well as a few local offerings if you want to do that but I would say go for the big guys. I have never had to meet my accountant face to face in a number of years so the locality isn't a winning attribute..

    Try searching and you might find several long threads disussing this very question. But why did you stay with an accountant that messed up once, never mind three times?

    Then again I've used SJD since 2002 and they've never yet made a mistake...
