PM sent. Excellent accountancy firm who are more than familiar with IT contractors. Only 18 miles from you and not those danbro shysters either.

Look at the sticky on accountant recommendations and start from there.
I assume you've read the guides on this site and had a good look through www.ipse.co.uk?
