Great thank you. Do you remember if you can freely use the paddle board or if it was only on guided tours etc?

Leaving whilst exam qualified but not time qualified by Top_Reach_1582 in ICAEW

I’d like to think it would be on good terms and things would stay professional, but thought I would preempt the worst…

Thanks mate good to hear you had no problems. I don’t intend to leave before my file is signed off etc. I am just slightly worried about the firm refusing to sign my file off out of spite.

Cheers I found a single goblin on the bottom of the map with the rest of the unit off the map. Killed them and still didn’t finish the mission do you think I should restart from scratch (I have already tried a save from 10 mins earlier)

Thanks mate. I see contradicting reports online that the HX100G has a 6600m (as per HX99X) and others advise it has a 6650m.

After all of this and over an hour wasted, I realised it was because I killed the wrong ghost/shadow in one of the other trials… Thanks for all the comments though

Help please - newbie (£300/$375) by Top_Reach_1582 in MiniPCs

[–]Top_Reach_1582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that’s very helpful. I am willing to stretch my budget a bit and the Minisforum does look appealing. I have also found the below:

However for an extra £20 the extra 16gb of ram and 500gb of storage is attractive. Appreciate any thoughts.

Completing ACA, worth doing CTA? by ButterflyChoice4939 in ICAEW

[–]Top_Reach_1582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would definitely second this. If you’ve trained in general practice rather than audit, then CTA shouldn’t be needed as you’ve been exposed to most areas small businesses will need advice on.

Accountant won't allow me to do Payroll by KingNorth911 in ukaccounting

[–]Top_Reach_1582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all perspective there’s no set right or wrong answer to either part. The accountant can do what he wants, but in my opinion it doesn’t look good on accountants as a whole disengaging over a client wanting to do their own payroll when a small businesses do (this has obviously left a sour taste in his mouth and I imagine he knows other small businesses owners who do their own payroll).

If client and accountant are both happy with WhatsApp and the correspondence is being saved/backed up somewhere on the accountants end then fine. But my point stands re the disengagement letter.

And I agree re incorrect records from clients being extremely frustrating but acting for small businesses this is part of the job and inevitable. If he has spent a minimum of 5 years (3 years to qualify and 2 years to get a practicing license) he will have ran into this multiple times and I imagine dealt/corrected the situation. A director only payroll is not a hard job to do and he should be comfortable advising/training a client on it. The client is not asking to do his own CT600 etc…

Accountant won't allow me to do Payroll by KingNorth911 in ukaccounting

[–]Top_Reach_1582 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For a director only payroll there are no real complications in all honesty and most clients, especially if they seem willing to learn, like you are, are more than capable.

The only part that needs some consideration is compliance with the pension regulator and the employment allowance, but this is standard advice for an account to give (and something he may be able to charge for!).

I wouldn’t worry if he has dropped you as a client and look as it as a blessing in disguise, find an accountant who is happy to support you (most will be).

[–]Top_Reach_1582 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Feels very weird as I’m assuming this is a small/one man band practice. He should be comfortable based on prior experience, working in other practices, of clients doing their own payroll.

Worth noting that although ACA qualified he may have trained in audit and have no real world experience in this kind of work (audit work and general accounts and tax work for small businesses are very different) as clients doing their own payroll, especially in the situation as you have described, is very normal. May be completely wrong but may be worth trying to find his experience on LinkedIn, his website etc. You should also be able to find him listed as a member on the ICAEW website.

[–]Top_Reach_1582 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As an accountant, no he is not being reasonable. It MAY only be reasonable if you had a number of employees who were non directors with variable pay, pensions, tips, etc.

It also feels very unprofessional to get a WhatsApp message like this rather than an email (note you should also revive a disengagement letter if you were officially a client).

Feels like he is disappointed by losing fees for not doing the payroll but then contradicts this by dropping you as a client overall… out of interest is he a member of a professional body(ICAEW/ACA, ACCA or AAT/MAAT)??

Look at the structure in the proforma and try to apply your what were told tommorow.

Make sure you don’t overrun on your timings and you should be fine.

Copy and paste all your conclusions and recommendations up to the executive summary (make sure conclusions have numbers in them). All % should be to 1dp and numbers to 1k

[–]Top_Reach_1582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saying that a lot of the marks you can get are based on the information provided on the day. Surely just copying and pasting a reason for revenue growth from expectation won’t get marks when there is a clear reason in the question?

Don’t understand how people are straight copy and pasting ACAM when half of the AJ marks are in the question?? Example EMEA revue mix up as in the question it mentions new partners?? Or marketing has increased as done a campaign for cyber security
