Fee Dispute and Unprofessional Behavior
The review by John Mcluckie details a negative experience with George & Co. The reviewer was promised by a representative of the company that fees would remain the same and that their books would be picked up for free. However, they were later hit with an astronomical bill for work carried out, which was disputed. The reviewer was shocked by the unprofessional attitude of a partner of the firm, who responded to their concerns with a rude and dismissive email.
Satisfied Long-Term Client
On the other hand, Alex B. Cutbert's review praises George & Co for providing sound professional accountancy services over the past 30 years. The reviewer has received very professional, efficient, and client-centric services from the team, including guidance on setting up a small property company.
