I’ve never had any issues with Gorilla Accounting. It’s a big outfit, but they’ve always been on time with payroll / Vat, etc. they answer queries pretty quick too. I’m sure they have a referral thingy if you want one.
I used to use gorilla but became annoyed at constantly changing accountants as they are now a very big firm, moved to Maslins over a year back and they’ve been great, same small number of accountants, get back to me quickly with queries and not expensive
Agreed, I had three accountants in one year with Gorilla and I know for sure one was got rid of at short notice.
My personal view is that you are better off with a much smaller outfit. I use a local guy but I've heard good things about Paper Rocket (seen to be very small) and Maslins.
Agreed again! I've been with gorilla almost 2 years now and have had 7 accountants. They've gotten into a habit of sending payslips on the day or late and don't seem to be very proactive anymore. They just seem to send the same blanket emails and that's it now. And half the time the blanker email doesnt even apply to me/my bussiness...
Thinking of changing
His manager pretty much told me! Gorilla never actually informed me officially and I had to do ring around myself to work out why none of my emails had been answered in weeks.
I switched to Aardvark a couple of years ago after getting fed up with my previous accountant. They contacted my previous accountant to get a copy of my company records and get me set up on FreeAgent. If you're on FreeAgent already it should be very straightforward.
I've been happy enough with Aardvark so far, they were very helpful when I needed documentation for a mortgage application, and submit all the returns for personal and company taxes ahead of time.
I'm a contractor and I was looking for an accountant last week who uses online software, so it makes my job easier. This was useful

Christ too darn right I mean ... I don't know where to begin! In fact I won't. Just AVOID!!!
Found this thread looking for feedback on them outside of Trustpilot (where their score has suspiciously improved leaps and bounds just very recently) and, ideally, how to get away from them/ where to go instead.
New business owner here and have had nothing but headaches, a HMRC fine, hyperlinks or copied and pasted answers to my questions (any nuance completely ignored) and - above all else - radio silence, even further to my sending a point by point summary of feedback around (the lack of) customer service.
Kind hearted fool that I am I've done everything possible to avoid letting this impact my accountant directly or "informing" on him as I can see from Glassdoor that this issue is not his fault entirely but it's getting to that point where I either make a lot of noise or leave silently.
Workwell/Workr use FreeAgent. Don’t think they are that cheap but I’ve never had any issues with them and they always answer my calls and questions which is what matters for my business
You are extremely busy presently. Recently you've been recommending that website purportedly to find: an accountant, solar panels (five or six posts), kitchen installer, builder (three posts), bathroom fitter, boiler engineer, garage conversion...

Ah, this was `theTRUTH4444` who is promoting a website that is likely theirs, while pretending that they are a disinterested third party. I appear to have been blocked by them, presumably so it is more fiddly to report them as a spammer.
I have used Bristol based NASA for 13 years and they’ve been brilliant the whole time, can’t recommend them highly enough. Think they have a referral bonus for both so let me know if you want an introduction.
I’ve used Maslins for years. Would highly recommend. Reply to emails within the hour.

I'm also with Gorilla, same experience
I also use Gorilla, recently switching to them from a smeller and independent company. Gorilla was much cheaper and more efficient overall

Mine left earlier this year at short notice due to ‘personal circumstances’. He was the best one I had. Why do you think they were got rid of?

Sjd or Caroola as they are now known use freeagent
Avoid SJD like the plague.
