Reviews Summary
Experience with George & Co
The reviews highlight a mixed experience with George & Co, an accounting firm in Scotland. While some clients have had a positive experience, others have faced issues with communication and billing.
Miscommunication and Billing Issues
One reviewer, John Mcluckie, had a poor experience with the firm. He was initially told that fees would remain the same when switching to George & Co, but was later hit with an astronomical bill. When questioned, the firm claimed that the representative who discussed fees did not have authority to do so. The reviewer felt held to ransom and was forced to pay the bill to move on. This experience was exacerbated by a rude response from a partner at the firm.
Professional and Efficient Services
On the other hand, two reviewers, Alex B. Cutbert and Calum Harris, have had a positive experience with George & Co. They praised the firm's services, citing professionalism, efficiency, and a client-centric approach. They appreciated the guidance and advice provided by the firm's staff, particularly Linda Leaworthy and Lesley Stewart. The reviewers also valued the firm's ability to connect them with other reliable business services, such as legal and insurance companies.
