Absolutely awful "service". Do not use! You cannot reach anyone on the phone. Only email correspondence which takes c. 1 week per response which comes back with incorrect information or doesn't answer the question. Terrible experience. Incredibly frustrating to work with. The initially positive review was because I was given an Amazon voucher to post at the start of my contract!

I am an engineering consultant and have been working away from home for about 20 years through various Umbrella companies good and bad. Last March I have decided to jump from Umbrella to Limited company World. Since the Limited company came with several Tax and vat obligations I needed to find a good accountant who would handle everything on my behalf leaving me with zero worries. First, I talked to a few accountancy firms found on the internet. They were very keen to get my money upfront,but had no time to answer my queries before that. Some salesmen men were using much jargon to show that running a limited company is more complicated and I would need their support to run it smoothly. However, one company I talked to stood out from the rest. It was this Blue Bird Accountancy. After my first email, their Sales Director Kevin Gardener contacted me straight away. We had a lengthy email conversation in which he explained everything about the service they offered and how they could help me run my one-man-band company with zero hassle. .As a newcomer to a Company game, I had 100+ queries and Kevin had the patience and knowledge to answer all of them accurately and in detail. Unlike some other firms, not during our email conversation over 8 days, not once he tried to push me in to sign in with them. His style was These are the services we offer and if you are happy to join us and try, if not, you can leave us at any time with no penalties That impressed me a lot. I have also visited an excellent website which explained their services in laymans language as well as LIMITED, UMBRELLA, and IR35 After 62 emails and 10 days of chat with Kevin, I came to the conclusion that Bluebird was the ideal company for me to join as a novice Limited company man. I must say that it was the best financial decision I have made. I have been very impressed with their service so far.If you e mail some accountants you dont even get an acknowledgement and you start to wonder if the e mail has reached them . With Blubird you get immediate auto acknowledgement which gives you a peace of mind. You dont have to chase them after that because y a proper response comes to your inbox from your accountant manager within 24 hours . The main difference between Bluebird and many other big accountancy firms is that they give you a dedicated personal account manager who take the ownership of your account and ready to sort out any problems you encounter. My Account Manager Klaudia is very good at helping me guide through the pitfalls of running a one-man limited company. Their FreeAgent software is very user-friendly. I only have to fill my expenses weekly. . You could raise invoices yourself to send to the recruitment agency you work through. Bluebird would enter your timesheets and raise invoices on your behalf FREE AGENT and leave the rest to Bluebird. They would calculate my PAYE & corporate Tax as well as VAT due. Then they would advise me when to pay them. I also forward every correspondence I get from HMRC to them to deal with them. They also do my year-end account and many other services so I won't have to worry about anything they tell me how much I should leave in my business bank account to cover them and how much money I could draw out for personal expenses (i,e my wife's frequent trips to TK Max ) . My Limited company is there to enhance my take-home pay and I'm very pleased that Bluebird makes sure of that. Many contractors do suffer involuntary stay at homeperiod when they are in-between jobs. If your company is inactive for a period, unlike some , Bluebird would reduce their charge accordingly. That's a big plus for you. So in conclusion, if you are a contractor thinking of starting a limited company to enhance your take-home pay, I recommend you Bluebird Accountancy. Go ahead and just make your first call/email to them) today. You would never be disappointed. ( Of course, dont forget to mention that my review made you contact them .They might then send me a X'mas card ) . Good luck
