    Ask your bookkeeper for a recommendation.

    I'm not gonna say they will get you a discount but most accounting firms will quote for a job based on the idea that the bookkeeper is an idiot that will send them messed up records that have to be redone.

    If your bookkeeper reccomend an accountant that knows their work and the quality of their work you may be able to skip the 'we don't know your bookkeeper and we assume they are an idiot so let's charge you an extra 40%' phase.

    Bookkeeper is inhouse. Original accountancy firm retired and sold accounts to a firm not expected as weeks before year end just got a call to contact different firm! You can imagine not happy about this.

    Accounts clean and easily followed. After one year they want to more than double fees. Previous firm could complete review in a few hours so know accounts easy to follow. They bought accounts based on the charge paid with old firm so now making up for it.

    Either they couldn't do this or your fee is too low to bother with for the level of work or your previous accountant didn't do enough work.

    Old accountant not city based so overheads a lot lower and less staff to pay. New one trying to build client base so bought portfolio at low cost and picked the easy ones to deal with and confirm payments. Their words not mine.
    I actually think the old one did more work as you could see bank statements notes in the paperwork. Paperwork also signed that it was reviewed. New one not doing this.
