I'm giving a lot of thought to fees at the moment, and realise I am cheaper than I should be, but also conscious that I primarily deal with micro businesses, so need to be realistic. Out of interest, as a rough guide, what would you charge for the following, (seen elsewhere) For those that don't know, I'...

Just a quickie, if my client has given me permission to send a copy of his Tax Return to an Estate Agent so he can rent a property do I still need to password protect it?

Just had an email from a client who is having a problem with their HSBC account. They're looking to switch and asked if I've heard of a bank called Tide. Can't say I have, looking them up it appears to be app based. Anyone on here have any clients using Tide?
