Re: Re: Accountant Recommendations
Vetran - they are ooop north but the location is irrelevant - you do everything by post. Queries are handled by email/phone.
If you have complex accounting matters to discuss I'd suggest that you need something other than a normal "contractor accountant". having said that they've always answered my queries and I do stuff outside of standard contract work.
My monthly accounting duties are ...
Fill in an expenses sheet - excel or paper even if you prefer as you just print it anyway.
Produce agency invoices (as usual) and make copies.
Put expenses sheet/invoices/receipts/any old crap received from tax/vat man in envelope and post it.
You get back - payslips IR and VAT forms completed so all you do is write and post cheques or do transfers from business to personal accounts.
I spend maybe 20 minutes a month on it and 15 of those are walking to the postbox
Year end you just look over the prepared accounts you get sent, pretend to understand them, ask a couple of questions, then they produce final accounts and a completed payslip for Gordon to gloat over.
They will issue a divvi when you ask them to - you get back all the required rubbish needed - directors meeting minutes to sign, a divvi payslip etc. etc.
They may cut a deal but the price is low anyway so I doubt it. Download the application form - the contact details are on that.
On IR35 they just do the accounts they way you want - in/out - but reserve the right to charge extra if you declare out and then get nobbled so they have to be re-done - which seems fair enough to me.
