Can anyone recommend an accountant for a first-time contractor? I'm very new to all this (I have a couple of outside-IR35 contracts) - no idea what I'm doing with dividends, self-assessments, and all that. I'm with BI who set me up on FreeAgent which I've got running and in order but otherwise they are not helpful at all - maybe you get what you pay for - willing to pay a bit more for some help or advice to be honest. EDIT: do I lose all my FreeAgent work if I move to another accountant? Thank you.

My current accountant Intouch are putting their fees up to £115+VAT. Looking around for alternatives.
Qauestion for ex-Intouch client's who've moved to Gorllia Accounting, in terms of services offered they look pretty much the same apart from Intouch includes "Registered Office address service". Am I missing anything else?Comment
