Consider using FreeAgent and doing the back bone of the work yourself, it's relatively easy. Find an accountant off their freeagent friendly list on their website.Originally posted by bigelvis View PostThanx for advice
Assuming that I work about 47 weeks a year:
47x20=940 + 705 (600+vat) +80 = 1725 a year
I got a quote from Brookson and it's almost the same, so it's not worth to migrate to them.
Anyone could suggest some cheaper good accountant with web based instructions etc. please?

Thanx for adviceOriginally posted by Wanderer View PostSo I make that about 3500 / year? I'd say that a fair price is about 1000/year but your mileage may vary

You can do that yourself and it's probably a good idea to in case your accountant tries to rip you off.Originally posted by bigelvis View PostHi

I know people who have been ripped of by their accountants cos they do everything for them.

Yes
Yes you are paying a lot for your accountant to look after a relatively simple scenario.

This is done almost on a monthly basis. Have a search and you will find a host of threads where people have already compared their costs. I am not being unhelpful. its just you wont get much response cause we have done it so many times.
