    Thanks for the input guys.
    I'm just wondering if it is possible to switch accountants each year and then go monthly with them for a month or 2 until they have done last year's accounts for free. Potentially, you could just get accounts and corporation tax done each year for just 1 or 2 payments. Then everyone is happy! They are willing it do it for free and we get our accounts. I can't wait until Free Agent does corporation tax then I can just submit everything through them. You would have thought Free Agent would have worked out how to do this out by now given micro accounts now exists.

      I paid InTouch the equivalent of two months fees and they picked up the mess of my accounts and did the corporation tax return.
      First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. But Gandhi never had to deal with HMRC

              How is there a profit in taking out and then cancelling a loan (after having repaid it fully, I assume)?

                The vast majority of our monthly fee is down to preparation and submission of year end accounts. Doing the prior year accounts for free or heavily discounted is a gesture of goodwill.

                On the FA front I do believe this is in the pipeline to be released very soon!
