    Scare mongering on what?

    Depends what type of service you are looking for.

    Higher priced ones tend to include credit control, bookkeeping etc where as lower prices ones you have to do it all yourself and right up all your records manually.

    What I save pays for a meal out every month!

    Can anyone recommend a good accountant/accountancy firm with a fixed rate of around £50-60 per month ?

    Preferably to include VAT, end of year tax, and docs e.g end of year minutes etc.

    Many thanks

    David
    I use Nixon Williams, I think it's £60+VAT a month, and I can't fault them.

    I would say, £80 - £100 is a more realistic figure, I work for an accountants in Scotland, and this is what we would charge. We think we justify this fee by giving more high level advice, which your £60 guys might not give you.

    If you want a personal quote, please feel free to PM me.

    These are just a couple from Google

    This one is for £55 - http://www.adeptaccounting.co.uk/Fix..._Acounting.asp

    This one is for £60 http://www.nixonwilliams.com/?gclid=...FQWIlAodWw-P9w

    I prefer to work from recommendations or reviews, but I haven't found any reviews for accountants.

    thanks
    Alan from NixonWilliams used to be on here every so often - if you are interested, might be worth sending him a PM.

    That £50 can be put towards the first month's fee which should bring it down to a sensible level!
