    It all depends what you want for your money, the short back and sides or bespoke tax advice.

    We would be considered expensive on here but I doubt if you added your tax liability to your accountancy fees many would beat us. Which is backed up by the fact that from memory I can only think of 2 clients that have left us over fees.

    One came back a couple of years later and the other called me on Tuesday to query some advice his new accountant has given him. I saved him £24K tax by suggesting an alternative way of doing what he wanted to do and he has consequently asked me to requote for his business.

      Back on track

      So, trying to get this back to the original question:

      How much do you pay your accountant and who are they? Would you recommend them?

        the range is about £70- £120 pcm depending on various factors. for recommendations speak with other contractors who have accountants or check out their credibility by looking at their website. If they have lots of testimonials from real people, this gives them extra credibility.

          I'm currently with Nixon Williams and just found out their price is increasing to £75+VAT per month (= £88.13 with 17.5% VAT).

          How much do you pay your accountant and who are they? Would you recommend them?

          Got my letter today, so the monthly fee in increasing from £60 to £75 / month.

          A 25% increase then, not happy about that.

                  I was notified about the NW increase towards the end of May.
                  Just wondering if they were putting up the prices for the long term clients exactly 6 months into each individiuals financial year. As this would make it more expensive for people to consider leaving.
