Why are so many contractors looking to change their accountancy service?
In the last 24 hours OrangeGenie Accountancy has received an unprecedented number of enquiries from contractors who use other specialist firms of Contractor Accountants to undertake their tax planning and accountancy work.
We have been horrified to hear tales of:
- unexpected tax bills in excess of £5,000
- late filing penalties from Companies House, threats that Companies will be struck off
- penalty charges for unpaid tax bills
- contractors having to chase accountants for information and pointing out errors
- overdrawn directors’ loan accounts that leave clients technically trading whilst insolvent.
So why are contractors being given poor advice and less than acceptable service?
When choosing accountancy support for your contract work, you should ensure that the provider can demonstrate that scenarios such as the aforementioned, will never happen whilst using their services.
All staff at OrangeGenie undertakes CPD training to maintain the currency of their professional knowledge and to ensure they have a view on future developments that may affect your wealth and wellbeing.
In addition to our investment in staff, we have invested heavily in support technology, online accounting systems, full integration to government gateway services and CRM systems. Our mission is to put our clients in control of their affairs with 24x7 access to real time information using the most modern and cost effective accountancy services. The purpose of our technology investment is to free up the time of our qualified staff, enabling them to provide a level of pro-active planning and support to our clients not currently offered in the market that will ensure our clients never receive any unwelcome surprises.
It has also been brought to our attention that as well as providing poor service to some contractors, other providers then seek to charge an ‘exit fee’ to terminate the agreement. Don’t let this put you off – we can work with you to reduce the impact of this and ensure that you can take advantage of our pro-active and professional service with minimal disruption to your affairs.
No contractor should accept levels of poor and inefficient service. Changing accountants is straightforward. All you need to do is let your current supplier know you wish to leave their service and we can do all the rest for you.
