Bear in mind that accountants screw up quite frequently and they typically don't know much about the legislation affecting contracting businesses (never get IR35 reviews from your accountant etc.). I've had some good accountants in the past, but I frequently caught issues or needed to chase things and,...

It would cost a few hundred quid to get your year end returns done. Personally, I don't think the standard contractor accountancy packages make much sense in FA. It is extremely easy to manage your payroll, VAT returns etc. I would also say this is essential, especially before CK/Boox has played out....

FA is a very good bet. I do my own accounts with FA, but most accountants will work with it, even if they use other software to actually file (there are some limitations with more complicated CT returns and SATR).

Well, yes, it will be more expensive. It’s completely standard to have exclusions for N.A. Surprised you weren’t aware of this or didn’t check and now have no cover, which is a massive risk when dealing with N.A. clients. That said, I use Randell Dorling, which used to be underwritten by Hiscox,...

Astonishing. Not a criticism, because needs must, and I suppose you will be continuously looking for better roles. However, paying roughly the London living wage for a skilled role that requires security clearance is insane....

It's computationally very efficient, so it's often used in demanding numerical simulations, and it's very well suited to certain mathematical operations, such as matrix algebra. There's probably a legacy aspect too as it has been used for decades in aeronautical engineering, space science etc....

I think this is a rather optimistic take given that Labour has been exploring anti-avoidance measures too, such as making the VAT chargeable when the education is received....
