I was with SJD for several years, then when on perm and then again contracting after 2 years
I was so happy with them, that didn't have any doubts when opting for them again
They were always prompt replying emails(literally within an hour I would get a reply) and the reply was always very detailed. I also like that they have a convenient spreadsheet that helps me tracking my finances.
BUT...
This time round I'm very frustrated as they charge bit of money to them, but the service is appalling
Emails sent today at 4-5 would be get answered between 4-30 - 5-30 pm next day. Answers are very brief, that make me write a response asking for clarificatrion each time. So essentially by the midday 2 days later day I'd get a proper answer. So annoying! Certain things I had to chase up. Documents are filled to HMRC in last minute
After raising issues, I was given another accountant, but the approach to the service is still the same - late and shallow replies.
So I feel like I'm wasting money with them to be honest.
I find their spreadsheet very convenient and the fact that they had office in the City helped a lot in my previous contracting(I could easily arrange a meeting with my accountant when required), so I wouldn't opt for NW from this perspective.
Any other good alternatives?
