Urgent UK accountant for Goodlord reference
I urgently need a qualified UK accountant to help with a Goodlord tenant referencing issue. Important clarification: I do not have standard payslips, SA302, or my latest completed Self Assessment tax return available. That is the reason I need the accountant referee route. I am a UK limited company director. Goodlord has reopened my referencing application and said they may be able to verify my income if an accountant acts as my referee and confirms my income or projected income. The specific help I need is an accountant who can urgently review alternative evidence this weekend, including business bank statements, personal bank statements, marketplace revenue records, company details, a simple monthly P&L / management summary, and evidence of director drawings / transfers. If the evidence supports it, I need the accountant to respond directly to Goodlord confirming my current or projected director income. I am not asking anyone to confirm anything unsupported. I need a qualified accountant to review the evidence and confirm only what can properly be confirmed. Goodlord requires: 1. Full name of accountant referee 2. Accountancy firm name 3. Business email address, not Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail 4. Landline number Requirements: 1. Must be UK based or experienced with UK limited company directors 2. Must be professionally qualified or part of a recognised accountancy body, for example ACCA, ICAEW, AAT, ICAS, CIPFA or similar 3. Must have a proper business email address 4. Must have a firm landline number 5. Must be willing to respond directly to Goodlord 6. Must be able to review documents urgently this weekend, ideally before Monday 7. Must be able to confirm whether this can be done without payslips or a completed latest Self Assessment tax return This is time critical because the property may go back on the market. Please only reply if you can move quickly and understand the specific issue. Please do not apply if you can only confirm income from payslips, SA302, or a completed tax return.
