Accountant recommendation threads inc local requests

Hi - I'm a newb. This thread is really valuable - but is anyone just using FreeAgent directly to cut out the middle man?

There isn't a middle man. There is a highly qualified accounting professional helping you run your finances using a FA tool to help. You need to re-adjust your thinking.

I've met some "highly qualified" accounting people that didn't know their a from their e. One of the reasons I've just started doing this is to have more control over my financial situation - I'm still getting to grips with the idea of delegating parts of that control to another entity. This is a recommendation thread - do you have a recommendation?

I'm not myself but I know that you can use it on it's own, my accountant gets a discount for me but it's definitely possible.

So it's up to you to find someone that doesn't. I'm quite sure everyone mentioned in my first post do know their Juju.

Why do you want more control yet delegate it to someone else? I have an accountant with FA and I am in full control of my finances. They offer me expert advice and guidance but my finances are run by me.

There's a lot of accountants that use FreeAgent as part of the service. And the subscription will be included in their charges.

Plus if you want to retain control of some aspects, the fees for accountancy advice can be tailored around what you want.

FA have a list of premium partners and I'm sure there will be numerous recommendations on here too [emoji3]

Hi ,

Newbie based in the North West here. I'm a freelance web developer and have been doing my books/self assessment myself with FreeAgent for a few years. I am looking for a recommended accountant (local or otherwise) who is familiar with FA and will hopefully save me a bit of cash for this tax year (leaving it a bit late, whoops).

Many thanks,
SoleTrader

It's never too late to save tax. You've still got loads of time before the 5 April to get all of your ducks in row.

Good Luck! [emoji3]

Leeds isn't in the North West it's in Yorkshire.
