Some of you may have read other posts about my accountant and the things I'm not happy with.
Anyway, checked what I signed up and its a fixed fee basis with 30 days notice to cancel. So I was wondering if I give him 30 days notice, am I only liable for the monthly payments for the months I've been with them?
Or can the accountant add extra charges because I've left early?
Specifically thinking that they did one contract review for me (and the terms are two contract reviews a year included) but then they now wont have to do end of year returns for me etc.
Also, if I go to another accountant, am I likely to pay more because because I'm part way through the year. Aware that monthly fees are biased towards the fact that a lot of the accountants work is at the end of year. For instance, you could expect to stroll into accountants at year end, pay him £100 for that month and expect a full set of company accounts done.
Saying that though, despite several reminders to send me the correct DD form, I've only ever made one months manual payment to the accountant. Not chasing them any more.
