OK Sluffy, I can see the point that you're making. But the word 'accountant' although singular often refers to the accountancy practice that you're with. So if you say your accountant is KPMG -it follows that they're a very large 'accountant' indeed. So James's other business which is substantial in itself may have changed their accountants ( note, the plural) for a number of reasons ,which I won't go into. Its highly unlikely that it was a one man band. There will other valid reasons for him shifting to another organisation. His accountant(s) would only be involved in his participation of his involvement in FV if he invited them to, but you can bet that his lawyers and accountants would be all over his involvement like a rash. If you check at Companies House you should find out who his accountants are.
Thanks for your suggestion.
I've checked at Companies House and you are correct, his other companies seem to use the services of the one he's just transferred to on Chorley New Road.
I suppose that begs the question of why he registered his address at the building in Westhoughton (where by the way I could not figure out who or what was based there - it's a very prominent house on the main Street in Westhoughton (near the church) but can't find it being used as an accountants, or solicitors, or even for himself (I believe he resides else where in Westhoughton) to his regular accountants?
And why he changed it now?
I guess everything will become known to us in due course.
PS - I did know about accountants and their practices but couldn't think of any reason why he might have moved accountant (if that's what he actually did - which probably now appears it wasn't) unless say his retired best mate was doing it as a personal favour for him, then took ill.
Anyway at least no accountants seemed to be hurt in the posting of my thoughts - which is obviously a good thing!
