I've never understood how people think creating a company is so difficult you need an expert to do it for you. Go on the Companies House website it takes 5 minutes, the hardest part is deciding on your company name. Then go to a bank and ask to open a company bank account, they'll sort that out for you. Then get an accountant, loads on here to choose from.

Then find a contract ...

No reputable accountant should ever ask you for access to company or personal bank accounts. They will ask for statements as these are needed to produce the accounts and verify invoice payments etc. They will not ask for access to the accounts themselves.

Darren Upton was jailed for conning clients into paying into accounts he claimed belonged to HMRC when in fact they were controlled by him, and for running an illegal currency investment scheme. At no point did he have control over his clients bank accounts.

+1 - I go with a reputable contractor-friendly firm (Nixon Williams) and they're absolutely worth the money I pay them. It would be disingenuous to tar the accountancy profession because of the (unscrupulous) actions of one person.
