    Yeah, the funny thing (at least for us) is I'm fairly confident the potential client who got the warm and fuzzy feeling spoke to Julie. Julie is originally from the Ukraine, and has a reputation for being (brilliant but) rather blunt! If I had to guess the kind of compliments she might receive, warm/fuzzy wouldn't be on the list!

      That ought to be your company motto! Maslins Accounting - Brilliant but blunt.

      I'd buy that!!

          Maslins - Costs money

          That would keep me away, but also everyone else in Yorkshire.

            Just to clarify - warm/fuzzy was my interpretation of their positive feedback, and not a direct comment that I can attribute to them

I'll go with Gorilla/Dolan? or maybe CleverAccounts wait? thats three... guess is all down to the old coin flip? unless.... Surely, if I am putting my self out there as a potential new long term customer, I'd expect some form contact from these accountants, I'd expect VIP treatment to be honest.

              @Gorilla

              DONT worry about VIP treatment. Base it on recommendations, reputation and trust.
              Also forget small referral fees that some offer on here as that shouldn't be a basis for choosing an accountant.
              I have dealt with Dolan and can recommend - reasonable cost, FA and long history on CUK.

              Clever not seen any negative press here.

                Agree with Saptastic. I looked through the lists on this forum, and did some searching on the net. In the end I went with Maslins after a chat with Julie.

                Depends what you want out of it, and how much assistance you require. I didn't want a large firm and wanted a Chartered Accountant (in the firm), FA, Director accounts etc etc. So far I am happy with the level of service and advise.

                There are many good accountants out there and many are also forum contributors. Best of luck whomever you choose.
