Fifth useful post..
When you instruct a new accountant then you will be required to provide original photo ID and proof of address.
This is mandatory and is required by the Money Laundering Regualtions Act. I of course am happy to prove who I am, and can do this online as my full details are published on my Institutes website.
Any body who doesn't ask you for this is not acting professionally and runs the risk of falling foul of the regulations.
Any body who asks for money up front or god forbid even free services is completely out of order and I leave you to develop your own opinion on them.
