      Where did you get Clever from. Don't know anything about them. Do they offer FA as part of their service.

      I know Gorilla do everything you will need and with Dolan pedigree I am sure they will too so nothing in it really.

      I'd ring each up and have a chat to see which gives you the warmest feeling. Although that said you'll be speaking to their new sales teams not the actual accounts.

      Or just toss a coin.

        If you need to choose someone I’d go with who you’re most comfortable with. Ask to speak to an accountant to put your mind at rest.

        Gorilla have recruited a number of experienced accountants from other well known firms. In my opinion the best employees always move first and don’t get too complacent.

        I went through a number of accountants before moving to Gorilla and have never looked back. Whichever accountant you choose make sure it’s a FreeAgent one and doesn’t use a bespoke portal designed a decade ago.

          If by tomorrow 2pm no-one has convinced me to go with Dolan or someone else... 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.

            A couple of people from Dolan accountancy post on here from time to time. I think Ron's posted a handful of times. I don't think anyone from Gorilla has posted on here. None of them are very active on the forum, so I doubt you'll get a response from one of them unless you contact them directly.

                Get over yourself. You are just another number in the their churn. And, to be honest, if it's taking you this long and this much effort to find an accountant I don't think they'll be overly sad about not getting your business.

                  Spoke to another contractor who was looking for an accountant recently - they phoned up a few of the usuals and went with Maslins, having got that warm & fuzzy feeling from them !

                  Maybe add those to your list also

                    I can think of a lot of positives about Maslins... but warm and fuzzy isn't the first one that springs to mind

                    Maybe Chris has been banned from the phones

                      Assuming Chris is male, I believe the guy spoke to a lady, so can confirm Chris was not the source of the "warm and fuzzyness"
