. :)A claim like that is crazy...I personally think the fees that you signed up for is on the high side.You can view a couple a couple of posts on this message board about people signing up with 1800 accountant and then wanting to move on to another accountant.The thing with firms like 1800 accountant is that you will likely be with one accountant one year and then another accountant the next year because they have a high turnover.The issue with this is that you may have to re-explain your situation on an annual basis.Best of luck.

Always be respectful but firm.
