Thanks for the reply's, for those that are curious its ClearSky (Parasol).
For the sake of a few months I think I'll just stay, it's the £750 closure fee that really winds me up though, at the end of it all I probably would have been better off just staying with the umbrella.Comment

There used to be a big divide between "bookkeeping software" and "accounting/tax software", with only accountancy firms traditionally having the latter, due to it being very complex and often expensive. These two are increasingly blurring, with VAT and payroll being an inbuilt part of many bookkeeping packages these days, some also doing self assessment, and within a few years I'm sure a few will offer statutory accounts and corporation tax too, at least for fairly straight forward small businesses.
However, I agree with Martin @Contratax. As with so many things in this world, just because you can DIY (which people have been perfectly able to for yonks) doesn't mean everybody will, or indeed should.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

I'm sure there are enough seasoned pro's on here who will share this sentiment.
Also, watch out for hidden feesComment

Also, watch out for hidden fees"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment
