Accounting Services
Norwood Accountants have come under fire for their alleged lack of proficiency in accounting skills, resulting in significant debt owed at the end of the financial year. The pricing was deemed outrageous, with the accountant handwriting notes and then having them transcribed into digital form, adding to the cost. Furthermore, the staff was unprofessional and threatening when questioned about their methods.
The office was described as disorganized, with boxes of paperwork stacked from floor to ceiling. The accountants were also accused of breaching confidentiality on multiple occasions, including sending emails with personal details to unintended recipients.
Alternatives
Due to the subpar service, the reviewer had to seek the help of another accounting firm, resulting in a considerable refund. This left the experience feeling like a massive waste of time and energy.
Comparison
In contrast to the negative experience, another reviewer, Merv Renton, had a positive experience with Norwood Accountants, praising the friendly staff and experience of the accountancy services.
