Thursday is North Devon Journal day. As usual I had a quick shufti at the business section to see if there was anything interesting.
This week there was a blurb from another firm of accountants.
They had a new offering. A "Golden Hour".
What was it? A free initial consultation with one of their partners.
Well, that doesn't sound very special to me. A quick look on most accountants' websites shows that nearly every one offers this to prospective clients.
That's not special. That's not extraordinary. It's ordinary. And it sounds worryingly like a "golden shower". Not good.
If you are looking for a consultation with an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, you can find one using the search facility on the Business Advice Service site.
At Accountancy Edge, we think a special offer should be more than the opportunity to have someone try and sell you their services for an hour. What do you think?

Starting up in business as a sole trader
We've put the first of a series of blogs for people looking at starting a new business up on Accountancy Edge.
One important decision every new business has to make before it starts trading is "what sort of trading entity will be used?"
You could be a sole trader, a partnership, a limited company or a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).
Each one has its own unique features that may or may not suit it to your circumstances. So it's important to get it right.
Our first post looks at the pros and cons of being a sole trader.
