    Nixon Williams - Record keeping / invoice system

    OK, I take peoples point. Yes, I am perfectly capable of picking up a phone and asking, however this being a forum - with actual clients of NW, I thought it would be a suitable place to ask a question and get an unbiased response. Thanks Martin for posting a response.

    Nixon Williams - Record keeping / invoice system

    Hi, Please excuse me if I'm talking rubbish here, I'm in the process of preparing for contracting, so I don't have much knowledge of accountants or accounting as yet. Based on the feedback from people on here, I was looking at going to NW as my accountant, however there website doesn't appear...

    Hello

    Hi, Shockly, I joined this forum three years ago with the intention of jacking it in to become a contractor, however I never had the nerve. Well three years later, I finally felt mentally and financially ready and handed in my notice. I've got two months left on my notice period, so time is...

    Web Filing and Dormant company

    You star :happy Is there any impact for filing a DS_01? i.e. is there a black flag against my name being the director of the company? Also, is this a 'normal' thing to do, i.e. can I discuss this with Companies House without them getting funny about it?

    Web Filing and Dormant company

    Thanks. The fine is currently £375. I would have thought you would have to pay off the fine before I could close the company? HMRC know it is is dormant, it is a shame the fine is just as large for dormant as non-dormant. Never mind - my fault for forgetting though.

    Web Filing and Dormant company

    Hi, I currently have a dormant company which has annual accounts (over)due. I am currently waiting on the webfiling code to arrive so I can enter online - but I would like to know whether dormant accounts need to be completed by an accountant? I am assuming as it is dormant I should just be...

    Negative people when starting up!

    Lol, already on that. I've been pushing through as many exam vouchers as possible in order to beef up my CV.

    Negative people when starting up!

    Thanks for the replies. Thankfully I do have a supportive Mrs who is in a permanent role, and who can afford to cover the basic living costs if I am not working (i.e. mortgage, utils, food). I also have money set aside which would last for another 6 months if we were both out of work. Despite...

    Negative people when starting up!

    I am keen to move into contracting by the end of the year. The project at my current permanent job is coming to an end and it just feels like the right time for me to move into contracting. Did anybody else find their family/friends who were negative about moving into contracting when you were...

    I guess you mean this one The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World 2nd Edition Expert's Voice: Amazon.co.uk: Christopher Duncan: Books - looks good from the reviews. Thanks, PCG looks good.

    Good beginners books?

    Thanks, I will give them a look. I do plan on hanging around here. These are more for when I don't have access to the internet.

    Good beginners books?

    Hi, I am in the process of wanting to move into contracting within the next 6 months and have been looking for some bedtime/on the train reading. Can anybody recommend any good reads to prepare me for the future? Not looking for any specific areas, just the whole picture. Any advice is very...

    First timer - notice period query

    Thanks for all the posts. I should be able to terminate before three months (in if I am not on any projects I could potentially leave within a week if lucky). Don't fancy going for DV clearance, due to the intrusion and typical working conditions. The reason for going as a contractor is due to...

    First timer - notice period query

    Hi, I am currently in the situation where I will be looking to move to a contactor role next year. One query I do have is regarding my notice period and the affect it will have on getting a new contract. Currently, I am on a 3 month notice period - how much is this likely to affect my chance of...
