Hi,
I have a bit of a difficult situation with my accountant. I am a person who always pays his bills. I always seek a quotation / estimate in advance and once the job is completed the due the paid.
I have a defined fixed fees arrangement with my accountant for my first year of Ltd Company from August 2013-August 2014. He completed an income tax return for 2013 recently and then to my complete surprise sent me a bill ~50% of the fixed annual fees for this work. I queried it and he said that he had quoted me for the same work for Income tax 2014 (presumably to be completed in 2015).
I am going to meet him tomorrow. All dealings have been in writing, and there was no advance notice that this work was outside of the fixed fees arrangement that we had agreed.
Thoughts?
