As a bookkeeper I am normally supplied with opening balance journals from clients accountants. One accountancy firm will not supply me with them and when I chase supplies a trial balance only, commenting that any worthwhile bookkeeper would only require this.
Client has just incorporated and they have insisted that I can just use the closing trial balance from the old sole trader. I am not sure that this is correct as there were personal loans, and leases for a car.
I would be grateful for any comments.
Many thanks

Awkward accountant
Ask how they want you to treat the items you have queries about.
If they say something that doesn't seem right then question it.
I agree with you though. The accountants seem to be acting awkward.
