Giant have had HMRC issues in the past I.e rolling up holiday pay etc and have relaunched several times

I’ve heard good things about Brookson one.
PayStream are fine but like to get you on limited company and sell you their insurance and overpriced fees. They also send you 12 reminders about how they can do your tax return for JUST £240 + VAT. I do like their portal though.
I know several people who’ve been with Giant and they’ve no complaints.

I appreciate I'd be wise prehaps to go back to the client and request to use a brolly of my choice prehaps the highly recommended Lucy from this board, but for the sake of this thread lets not presume this is possible.
Also I note some reviews on this board are old threads from 2012.
So if anyone wants to share their experience and prehaps get a bit of a satisfication if their experience stops me using them when they've had bad recent service fire away - or alternatively if you've had great experience of the above companies please let me know.
In interest of the please search this forum comments, I'll proceed to do so now but any advice shared will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
