    Why do the majority of your contributions (3 out of 5) to this site involve PMs? If you have useful informationn to give, give it openly. Its only fair to warn you that I have sent a complaint about you to the site administrators. There is no real evidence but my impression is that you are touting for business. Other people who claim be be practising accountants give detailed replies. You don't
    This is a copy of my complaint

    At the time of typing this Townley&Co has posted 5 messages. 2 are are fairly innocuous giving information, which is fairly well known and obvious. Another 2 are "You have a PM." The other suggests that if the originator wants any further information they should send a PM to him.

    Whilst Townley&Co has declared himself to be a professional accountant it appears to me that he is touting for business rather than making a genuine contribution

    Well done that man.

    I have just engaged the services of an accountant for my small business and he is charging £300.

    I think there are too many variables involved here, just to ask, is my fee to high?

    I would do what bluep suggests.
