Question re: Accountants - Are People Generally Happy w/ Their Current Accountant?

[AccountantQuestions]

Hi -

ContractorUK Admin has generously allowed me to survey the membership for research I am conducting.

Are you generally happy or unhappy with your current accountant? (eg scale 1-10?)

If you are happy, what are the types of services, deliverables or activities that your accountant undertakes that you particularly find useful?

If you are unhappy, what does your accountant do (or not do) that you find particularly unhelpful?

In addition to any reply posts, anyone who would be willing to spend 15 minutes on the phone with me to discuss the positives and negatives around their relationship with their accountant would be appreciated. Please send a private message of how I can get in touch with you. Alternatively, email me at: [email protected].

For full disclosure, I am not selling anything! I will not pitch you alternative services and I will not record your information for any sales follow ups. I am simply after impartial info as a part of my research.

Thanks in advance for your great feedback!

Add to that the excellent service I received when getting MyCo setup, and support around all the bits and bobs when first getting started in El Mundo del Contracto

I am with Crunch. I have been very happy with their service over the last year. They were recommended to me and I would be happy to recommend them too.

+1 for Crunch.

Very good service and advice on the phone when you want it.

Web Interface is intuitive and makes the process very simple.

Service is excellent, but a tad expensive. 140+ inc vat per month.

If you'd asked me three weeks ago, I'd have given InTouch 9 out of 10.

Based on the past few weeks, though, it's slipping to a 7 and possibly lower.
