I've use them as well, although I've never had the need to visit them personally having mastered the use of those phone and email thingies.
Would definitely recommend as well.

Originally posted by KyajaeHi,
First of all I can't recommend local as I live in Leicestershire. however, also being a Ltd Co. and having a lot of collegues who are also Ltd Co contractors, I got a sense that a lot of accountants seem to have a fixed minimum fee for Ltd Co.s regardless of size starting at £1,000 + VAT per acounting period.
My accountant is sh*t hot and has saved me a shed load of tax and other liabilities and he charges me significantly less but resides in Leicestershire. Your payroll is your responsibility, soory, I know of know accountant who does book-keeping, but if your stuck give me an email address I'll pass on his details.
