[GB Window Cleaning]

okay so i went to see my accountant today and as it transpired the accountant assistant's husband is a window cleaner in the same town.

now its just occurred to me that ive given her the addresses and prices for my jobs uptill apiril this year!

and just thinking about it now my heart sank when i realised this 

whats to stop her giving this info to her husband and him cavassing my work???

oh dear, i think i might have done something very silly here 

think next year i will get a different accountant?

any advice very welcome at the moment please

its just the way i keep records address and how much earned! how do you do it?

think i could have really effed things up here

Yep they dont need a list of your customers, just your income and outgoings with supported paperwork.

I just give totals for days takings, but I have the proof of work at home.

if she did do think she would lose her job, not to mention would end up getting on the wrong side of the law.

I would call them in the morning and speak to your accountant, I dont think your accountants assistant would be that stupid.

His round could be better than yours anyway.

don't be so paranoid mate the assistant would be sacked sharpish if she did give that away

i hope your right 

i suppose if she was gonna nick my work she wouldnt tell me the her husband is a windy let alone the name of his campany would she!? which she did!

from what i can tell her husbands company is quite a big concern

Calm down, GB  .
There will have to be some confidentiality shown by......I can't remember, now  . And how hard do you think that information is to come by, anyway? You'd only have to knock a few doors and follow you.
And as a window cleaner, he might not want any more work and his might be better and better priced than yours  .
Your customers would also have some say in this, too.
You're worrying over nowt  .

Very true, I dont think you have anything to worry about. Besides, someone tried to undercut me a few years ago after he was run out of his own town (Swindon) by other Swindon cleaners. He travelled to Witney, Oxfordshire as a result to try and build a round but alot of my customers didnt accept his cheaper quote as they were happy with my service. You will be suprised how loyal customers can be. I lost 3 customers to him and two have since come back. The third one always waves and looks really awkward when she sees me, as if she ants to ask me something....

after looking at there website it would seem they hardly do any window cleaning and the only thing metioned about window cleaning in commersial

PHHHEEEWWWWW i think i might be okay, dunno though

yeah lets hope my work is not over priced and my custyd have some kind of loyalty

[GB Window Cleaning]

so for the future you would recomend me not giving any other info to her accept for income and outcome?
i think to be on the safe side i might find another accountant for next year though!

[G Griffin]

The accountants will value their reputation and won't let things like that happen. I knew of an accountant once that was caught embezzling money. She was shown the door, that was it and it was all hushed up.
They valued their reputation more than the money that went missing.
And you're probably not the only window cleaners on their books.
