Hi There
Im looking for Prof. cover too. I live in Bristol but I think the distance would be too far.0 -
Hi
Thankyou for your kind offer but i agree the distance is a bit to far.0 -
Hi I'm in Daventry and also looking for professional cover as my previous provider has retired. Perhaps we could provide cross cover.0

Hi

professional cover required
Hi Samantha
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The principal services I provide are bookkeeping, accounts preparation, payroll, VAT, personal and business tax. Don't think that you might not have enough experience in some areas, professional cover in my experience tends to be mainly providing reassurance and maybe advising the relevant authority when I'll be available again if necessary. There is very little that you can or would want to actually do as you wouldn't have access to any files; and there is very little that can't wait a few days in any case. I've been in practice for 23 years now and can count in single digits the number of client's who have actually contacted my previous professional cover in all that time. The vast majority are quite happy to wait for me to return they just want to know that they haven't been abandoned while their accountant is on holiday.

What happens if you are in a coma for 6 months?0 -
Or drop dead?
But then I suppose it would not be your problem then

Surely, everyone thinks like this when carrying out due diligence on their business continuity plan?

Surely that's why we have a business continuity plan. Long term or pemanent absence should be dealt with in that, it is not the concern of the professional cover provider. Stay cool stop worrying about what might be.0 -

Er.. it kinda is really. Who else is going to step in? Company secretary?0 -
lucky maybe?deanshepherd wrote: ยปWho else is going to step in? Company secretary?
I take your point but in my case I have one relative who is a qualified accountant and another who is CIOT so my nominated professional cover is really there only to hold the fort. I suppose I'm just lucky (or not with so many relatives in the same profession).0
