Anyone use an accountant for ad hoc advice only?

Ah it must be fine then.

I’ve missed this!

Exactly, honestly what's the problem ok I may have been a little naive I did start out meaning to get everything formalised, and then time passes (and the unexpected news of baby number two took my eyes off the ball), I do need to check everything out before my year end. I was vaguely hoping as I'm earning so little no one would notice me anyway... wishful thinker

Not something we do directly but happy to pass details of someone who does.

Feel free to PM me.

So I trained as a Chartered Accountant, qualifying in 2012 before going into the analytical/advisory role I'm now in. I am comfortable with all the "normal" elements of my accounts, record keeping, VAT return, payroll submissions, P&L, divi calcs etc.

However, I'm getting towards my first year end, and just have a number of questions I want to bounce off a specialist (in my accountancy role I worked with large companies rather than individuals operating as Ltd Cos). I may need help with Corporation Tax return, but my main issue is that I'm pregnant and want to check the ins and outs of eligibility forSMP/KIT days, Shared Parental Leave etc.

Quite a specific question, but essentially, can anyone please recommend an accountant that does ad hoc advisory only and not for a fortune, I'm not earning as much as anticipated as I've not been able to take on as much work given I'll have a(nother) baby to contend with shortly and can't commit to a huge workload

I agree with Maslins comment above and you may find it hard to engage with an accountant to just answer some questions. If you are confident to complete your end of year accounts and not looking to engage an accountant, you can check to see if you meet the SMP criteria online alongside the required application to claim to HMRC. If you have any specific questions, you may find it possible if you phone a local accountant, they may be willing to give you some free advice/information over the phone, or if you ask here on forum you may receive good answers too.
