FreeAgent file only eoy accounts- best price?
My previous accountant charged £150+vat for basic EOY accounts based off my freeagent data but he has stopped trading. Some of the prices I'm now seeing online seem pretty wild by comparison. Can anyone recommend an accountant with a low price for this? ThanksComment

I've been with same folk for nearly 5 years. Last year they were taken over and merged offices. Service has gone down the toilet since.
This morning I pointed out an error on FreeAgent by asking why the expenses outstanding appeared inflated.... I got the reply "The balance owe increase due to expenses claimed through the company."
I asked for a discussion with someone about tax efficient way of closing the business down when I want to pack it it" and I got 3 bullet points about the Companies Register,
strewth,,,I pay for this... time to moveComment

Hello. I'm looking for an accountant that can handle the accounts for a small consultancy, a few BTL properties purchased through an SPV and possibly a holding company.
Reading through the threads, it seems like Gorilla Accounting is the best shot here?Comment

I've been with Gorilla for over a year now - they sorted out the car crash Dynamo left my accounts in and were professional and prompt. WAs also applying for a mortgage so they put my EoY through quickly. Very happy and would recommend.Comment

Originally posted by frustin View PostI'm with Gorilla as well, but i'm not sure on the service. I'm not sure if it's a bit overpriced. I think it's quite expensive for doing not a lot i.e. proactive albeit I dont know what else there is.
Originally posted by frustin View PostThat being said, freeagent works ok so if i were to move i'd want to have an online system. Gorilla doesnt use the tax calcs that are in freeagent so they arent accurate. Accountancy is not my strong point and I really struggle to understand what i'm seeing and this makes me feel exposed.
Regarding your last sentence - do a book-keeping course or something like this from the OU: B124 | Fundamentals of Accounting | Open University It's your responsibility to understand your financial statements and if you don't know then you need to educate yourself. Ask your accountant to explain things to you too.
EDIT: there's a free OU course on bookkeeping that should be useful: Introduction to bookkeeping and accounting - OpenLearn - Open University - B190_1Last edited by ladymuck; 14 January 2021, 14:33.Comment
