I get paid an hourly rate and the target number of hours for the job are given with each job. If I think the numbers of hours allowed (which are normally more than sufficient) are not going to cover the job, I have to get permission from a director to claim the extra hours.
This works well for me as I am relatively speedy at what I do. But I have noticed that other contractors regularly go over the allowed hours. When they have been queried on the extra hours, they normally say that they are very thorough, which is all well and good as long as there is sufficient money in the job, but sometimes this is not viable. And then there are the contractors who are just very slow.
My answers
I, and a couple of others, have had bad experiences with IAB. We have all now resigned from them and gone for AML with HMRC
Thank you for replying. Being ignorant, how do I PM you? Regards

I agree lots of clients will be very upset at paying for the extra work but I fear they will blame the accountant and not HMRC
