    Speak to Michael @ Bright Ideas Accountancy. They include FreeAgent in the package and so far (since setting up Ltd) have been first class.

    ps tell them I sent you over

    suggest you mention my username when you sign up, NLUK is rich enough as it is

    I'm with Contratax Ltd (Martin) who posted above

    Top class service and guy. I use Freeagent with them.

    Price wise they I found them extremely competitive, and I spoke to a few accountants when looking to move (including others off here) I'd definitely give him a call and have a chat

    I've not had much need to contact my accountant, but I do need year end accounts and all the PAYE filing, so I'm looking for something cheaper than SJD (who I've not been particularly happy with).
