So impressed by the simplicity and effectiveness of the Accounting Quotes process: you specify what kind of accounting services you need (in my case self-employed sole-trader business accounts & annual tax return) and let Accounting Quotes find local accountants best able to deliver that service. I didn't have to waste any time looking for and visiting accountants; they contacted me. I arranged to meet one of them (they offered to come to me, but I preferred to visit their offices), had a good introductory chat, agreed the fixed min annual fee and subsequently signed a contract. It could not have been more painless - thank you!
