Does anyone else have this problem? As harsh as it sounds, you wouldn't turn up at your dentists whenever you feel like then stay and talk for an hour? You wouldn't turn up at a Solicitors without an appointment either. Yet some of our clients will turn up expecting to be seen by the Director for every lit...

Hi all, does anyone use an 0800 number and if so, would you recomend your number supplier? I've noticed that some suppliers transfer calls to mobiles for as little as 9ppm and landlines for 1ppm and wondered if anyone had any bad experiences or knew of any catches with this sort of service? The reason th...

Hi I am in the process of taking on a new client who runs a small bussiness solely earning property income. This client has mentioned that his last accountant charged by taking "10% of the rebate earned on the tax return" which I am not familiar with in relation to a property business. I've c...

Hi - I am just in the process of completing a CT600 and wondered if there was any guidance relating to what type of expenditure goes where.

I have done some work for a new client and have suspected from the start that he may not be a good bet. His accounts were not the tidiest and his attitude was not good towards his record keeping. But it was a large piece of work and I saw it as good practice to sort it all out and it would bring in a good am...

Hello, I'm just starting out on the road to becoming a qualified book-keeper (AICB with diploma in self-assessment tax returns).

Hi People, bit of a quiet afternoon with the last of the self assessments now well out of the way and nothing but Sage questions on the site so I was reading up on the links between RTI and Universal credits.

I've been asked to audit unofficial school funds. I am a fully practicing CIMA accountant however I've not done this before. After reading up on it I don't think there is anything complicated about it. Has anyone any advice on cost to charge or anything else I need to be aware of?
