First work out what you are looking for and then find an accountant which matches your need.

Some of the questions you should ask yourself:

Do I understand the compliance around IR35/MSC and the consequences?
Should I go Limited or Umbrella?
Do I want to build a relationship with my accountant?
Do I want my accountant to educate me about my responsibilities as a Director?
Do I want an expert?
Do I want a local accountant?
Do I have time to take on more responsibility with my records?
Do I want my bookkeeping software online and user friendly?
Am I a spreadsheet person?
What level of fees do I want to pay?

Hope this helps

Nixon Williams for me

[Alan @ BroomeAffinity]

Can't comment on the other 2 but Broome affinity are fantastic. [emoji3]

For balance though Nixon Williams are very well quoted and I've never heard a bad word in earnest about them.

Champion, I don't know very well but I do know that they are the preferred supplier of one of the larger o&g agencies. Whether that makes them good or bad I don't know.

No connection to NW, but I am impressed by the way they come on here and answer questions - clearly and patiently, and repeating if necessary. I have found their posts on here more useful than my own accountants.

One more question to add,
Do I want an accountants from a professional body(CIMA, ACCA, ACA, AAT etc) ? (certain mortgage providers and UKBA only accepts references from Accountants who are from professional bodies)
