    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!

    Benefits of double checking everything.
    If you're doing all that work, drop the accountant and save some cash.

    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.

    Some trucker pseudo code:

    Code:
    with my.accountants for face = present.state to elephantman.state do
    
    drive over with truck
    
    end with

    Off to shop for an accountant or more likely just do it myself.
