I do not quite enjoy the idea of paying a grand or a couple a year to someone for just few paper exercises. Is there a new contractor DIY accounting guide somewhere answering questions how to pay salary to yourself, expense reports, dividends etc.

Equally apt is the "The man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client" is better though!
If you cannot afford to do things properly, don't bother. It's not worth it because instead of paying £1500 for an accountant, you may well be paying £15000 for mistakes.Comment
