I definitely think you want to be using a standardised piece of software - FreeAgent has my vote because it's very user-friendly if you want to understand yourself (Xero is tricky IME).
There's no reason not to be these days, the advantages are too numerous. Personally I don't want to do my own accounts but knowing I could if I wanted, and can switch accountants so easily, is great.

I am still fairly happy with Aardvark myself.

After Clare quit InTouch to go travelling, my experience of accountants went downhill, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but she is the only accountant I would recommend to anyone without reservation.

Clare was my first contact when I joined InTouch from Clearsky (were they formally Quay?) I then ended up with Louisa, who similarly left to start Aardvark and I joined after seeing her post here.

So did Clare leave accounting or was that a sabbatical and she's started somewhere new?

Very interesting. Clare Rickman managed my account whilst at InTouch and yes, she was very good.

Just had an email that Gorilla have upped their fees by a fiver +VAT a month. I may be on the lookout for new accountancy company that I can take my Free Agent with me.

Aardvark look reasonably priced, any recommendations for them?

Not sure of anyone with them Psychocandy was two years ago but I think they will have recovered from that by now. Other small ones to have a chat to would be Paper Rocket and Clarity IMO.

Thank you. Whatever happened to the Welsh Wonder?
