Do 'nice guys' make good accountants?
Sorry if I offended some of you users. I followed on from rabbits post.
I found it very difficult to get a recommendation for a good accountant when starting off and the accountant I use either is incredibly quick doing my books or charges nowhere near 500 an hour (not sure which)
The easiest way for Dub 28 to find out for a business case the costs would be to give an accountant an idea of whats involved and get them to estimate.
I think this guy would be prepared to take the time to do that.
I got the name of a brilliant solicitor firm from this forum and was going to offer the same.
Sue, you have certainly not offended me ( as a professionally qualified accountant & registered auditor who charges nowhere near the amounts referred to , nor one who "jacks up the price each year thereafter once I have them hooked".) I like to think that the service and time which I provide to clients is nothing less than that to which which they are entitled to expect.
Rabbit's views on the accountancy profession in Ireland are more than well documented in this forum. Views which he is entitled to express and to which other posters are entitled to respond whether in agreement or in rebuff.
I have always maintained that the best recommendation one can get for any accountant ( or any other service professional or tradesperson for that matter ) is from another, satisfied customer. I do not in the main get business from the Golden Pages or other advertising. I can say with all honesty that the bulk of the business I have today is from referrals from other clients. That works to everyone's advantage. I know that a client is not going to refer someone to me who is likely to be , for want of other words "a messer". And they (the existing client) know that as the referrer, the person is not going to come back to them saying, "that fella you refered me to, what a chancer, or he costs a fortune" etc. I am sure that your accountant will appreciate any referrals you can give for them.
Graham i know every accountant will have different rates but was wondering if 1000 euro is expensive for setting up a limited company which is what i was qouted.
I didnt want to seem cheap and he sounds a decent chap, i dont mind paying a fair price for any service, but dont appreciate being rode.
