If everyone paid them early the interest differences would be huge..
Also always send them a cheque - never do a bacs transfer - that way you get more value for your money as they have to work and take it to the bank - thats my bit of extra satisfaction!!

Just bear in mind that YOU & ONLY YOU are responsible for your accounts & tax affairs/liabilities!

If you get an HMRC enquiry or worse, a full investigation, it's nothing to do with "your accountant", THEY have their backs covered as you sign this off.

I have a friend who ended up having to sell his own house through what started as a mistake by his accountant!
