Which is what I am doing.
Used them for a year. Got all the stuff one right (i hope)....took photo copies of everything, CT600, reports and accounts produced etc.
I did the accounts the first time, they basically checked them. All was good so next year I know I can do it right.
Sorted!

My Accountant messed up corp. tax return and left me owing an additional 1200 in tax. Great eh? And I was just about to take out a large dividend too.

"Sorry, noticed I added up your last invoice wrong. Here is the correct invoice"
Basically they ****ed up the vat. Now the sad thing is that they also did this on the first invoice they gave me. Thats 2 for 2.
