Same accountant for nine years out of inertia. Compare The Firm put three options in front of me in a day. Saved £2k with a Bristol firm who actually understood SaaS revenue recognition.

Small construction outfit. Most accountants quoted me like a tech start-up. The match flagged a Leeds firm who do CIS returns weekly. Quote came in 40% below the others.
