Years ago a friend of my brothers firm got my business and immoveable my.whole family.across
It was something like 250 for a tax return with no income, a few shares and a few deductions, and 500 for a small business return with one ip
After I started purchasing ips and registering for gst, I was doing a bas statement and sucked at it, I had friends who gave their accountant a pile of receipts and they sorted it and charged peanuts,
I approached my accountant and he said it would be far cheaper if I did all the messy work of sorting through the receipts and giving him a total figure on spreadsheet
I did it and he proceed to charge me 880 for three bas returns when I gave him spreadsheets, and all he had to do was enter a few figures, I was livid
My mother is still using him, and she recently did a sme return with three ips and the total was $1000!!!!!
He has now gone off.on his own to do his own firm which is fine, but the old firm has recently billed us $9k for every time we called him to chat about something over three years!!!
We could.only laugh!
After we told them to go jump, they sent us a new bill with a 90% discount to $900
We told them to go.jump again, and it's been given to a debt collector, but we've also told the debt collector to go and jump too
The funny thing is that the accountancy firm is serious about it
Never again
