I can remember the day when I used to trudge into town to visit my local high street accountant. After having wasted 30 minutes in the car, I then had to find a place to park (whilst paying a small fortune) and sit and wait at reception whilst my advisor finished off his session with the previous client. AFter having gone through all og this, I then had to sit through, well let’s face it, exactly what I’d seen and heard the previous year!

Well, it’s now time for me to fight back against the world of black suits and professionalism, I now have an alternative online. I remember a few years ago when I first came across cheap accounting online. The internet in those day was a pretty soft target. Any Johnny come lately with a practising certificate could build himself a website and trade online. There was no trading history, no reputation that had been accumulated over a period of years. Instead there was doubt and mystery.

However, things have now changed. The world of cheap accounting has now changed into a very competitive environment, which if done properly can result in small fortunes for the owners. The onliners now have to be every bit as professional as their counterparts on the high street. They require considerable funds to invest each year in search engine optimisation and internet marketing. They face humiliation via forums and hateful blogs of they make the slightest mistake. It used to be the case that if you made a mistake, all the local town with a population of 80,000 knew about your failure. Now the stakes are that much higher. If things go wrong online, the whole of the UK with a population of 80 million will know about it!

It used to be the case that the onliners had no track record, again things have changed. Websites display trophies and certificates showing a track record of achievement spanning the last decade. Coupled with the fact that these guys have a turnover that would put the local high street accountant to shame, I would argue that the web traders have every bit as much credibility as the local guy and at a lower price to boot.

It is with this in mind that I decided to take the lower price online and haven’t looked back since. If I have a query, I simply take advantage of the unlimited support offered via email - it’s every bit as good a service that would have been provided via traditional methods.
