Adverts are all very well, but I've been burned in the past by dealing with accountants who advertise.
I would much rather hear the first hand experience of people and make a judgment based on that rather than effectively pin-sticking in the yellow pages.
I need a decent accountant to advise me how to go about this, if there is such a thing as a decent accountant.
Any recommendations?
Personally I prefer a good local accountant rather than a large "bodyshop". Its more expensive but I prefer the personal service : and on the occasions I have been investigated they have gone all guns blazing against HMRC and I have defeated them easily every time.
Agree. The larger the accountant the crapper they are. Try Shout99 or PCG for IR35/contract review and insurance, for everything else the little high street chap is fine. Get HMRC booklets 480/490 off their webtulipe.

Which area are you in?
I'm in Hertfordshire, any local firms there you can recommend?
I don't like the idea of using a firm with lots of offices, would prefer the personal touch even if it costs a bit more.
