Clients that question everything you have done

Do you have any of these? If so, how do you deal with them?
I have a new client who I have sent the accounts and tax return for approval and I've had a really sh*tty email questioning nearly every figure and every decision. I've replied to his email in a polite but confident manner with my reasonings and explanations but I feel quite hurt that clearly he has no confidence in me. Or am I taking this too personally?
I really don't want to be doing this every year. Any advice?

Basically just be polite answer questions and if it takes too long put your prices up. I am about to raise it for my problem client and to be honest if i lose her i am not bothered.
I can tell in an initial interview if clients seem like they are going to be demanding, and I factor that into the quote.
I've never had a client be rude in a "questioning my expertise" kind of way. That's the kind of person who would not remain a client for long. Life's too short and there's another new client round the corner.
Was an audit so he had prepared the initial figures. Was a CA and would question a £1 different in sundries (which was rounding differences).
Never bothered me though, there were reasons for everything I had done.
If it's right what else is there to talk about?!
Hopefully it will just be a once a year thing when the accounts go out for approval but I can see this being a weekly email asking ridiculous questions. If I get another email I will politely explain that I haven't charged for any of my time in replying to his queries but will have to from now on.
