[contractorsl75]

Hi, I am new to contracting and I am looking to setup a limited company.

What would is a good price to pay and who should I avoid out there?

I was looking to hire a part time local accountant but I don't want to be overpaying them to look after me.

Thanks

Most of us seem to come in around £100 /m +/- £20 or so, but it does depend on the package and services. I'd caution you to be aware of underpaying as its as much of a risk as overpaying.

Check the accountant recommendation thread pinned at the top.

Not sure why you need part-time?

Or a local accountant ?

There is a sticky of recommended accountants at the top.

You can get a 'good' one for £85-£95 incl Free Agent.

Or a list here : Contractor Accountants - accountancy services providers for IT contractors

Hi contractorsl75

I've been using the same firm for many years. Fee is ~£80 a month and he's really good - advises specifically on IT accountancy but also has a hand in business and property accounting.

PM me if you want details.

You get what you pay for, as they say. Traditional accountants are on their way out, I'd have a look online for a cloud accountant

Traditional accountants are on their way out,

They really aren't.
