How To Change Accountants

“I sacked my accountants recently as they just did the basic stuff and seemed to make no effort to understand my vision and the bigger picture so as to save me from paying more tax than is legally necessary.”

“I fired my accountants because they were not creative enough, in a legal sense.”

“I realised my old accountants weren’t ideal to help me any more as they only seemed to want to do the basic minimum.”

“I changed my accountants when I set up a new company for a new business activity to run alongside my old ones. I realised my old accountants weren’t ideal to help me any more as they only seemed to want to do the basic minimum. I’m not sure they had many company clients.”

Do any of these reasons strike a chord?
