John Nolan has made an interesting point, he is going to pay his new accountants more, we often find with new clients they have to pay more to us which I personally call an ‘investment in our services’, this investment allows us to operate with fewer clients and therefore provide much higher levels of service. Compare that to the cheap quote so many go for and then find the service is not as good as they had anticipated, but that is what happens when the price is cheap accountants have to have more clients which leaves less time per client, result is unhappy clients. I love this ‘new technology’ but I hope it doesn’t become a point scoring name and shame future as that helps no one. Interesting article though, it really is a brave new world, come on in :-) Clients have always chopped and changed accountants to some extent, otherwise newer practices such as mine would not get going, that said, the difference here is that there is now a medium for letting others know if you are or are not happy with your choice, and that is the real difference, and hopefully this medium whether tweets or blog posts will provide far more information for the small business community in the future in terms of who does what, how they do it and what they charge.
