So what are sjd like??

Bear in mind any of the cookier-cutter firms iften can't/won't step outside their predifined area. It's worth chatting with anyone you've shortlisted and getting a written quote along with a service level agreement.

I would strongly suggest from recent and past experience to go with a local accountant, as opposed to one of the larger firms. Make sure though they know the ins and outs of IT contracting with particular reference to IR35 and ltd company management.

Nixon's fees are quite low but I would be cautious that there are not any hidden fees that will jump out at you, I nearly went with them but was worried that extra fees would be charged.

Did you try asking them?

[Bagpuss]

I've found Upton & co to be pretty good

[Jaded]

ok. Do all the accountants I listed know about ir35

will probably run with nixxon

The one further thing that I would add is that if you are operating outside of IR35 then I think it would pay to use an accountant that understands IR35 issues.

Not so that your accountant can advise you on this, but you don't want your accountant to inadvertently make your dealings with HMRC more difficult than they would otherwise be.

You don't state why you think your tax is a bit complicated but it could be a serious consideration for the type of accountant that you choose.

Your understanding is wrong. There are at least three other accountants in the UK.

From your other posts it looks like you are doing bog-standard contracting so you should be fine with any of those you list.

Why don't you try phoning them up and talking to them to see if there is one that you prefer dealing with?

Whatever you do, make sure you fully understand the services that you will be receiving from your accountant so that you are not on here in six months' time bleating about how it is now what you expected.

I use SJD they are ok if a bit expensive. Are there better out there ? Probably.

[Clippy]

From which company?

I'm guessing here, but think it may be Bruce Allen.

[SteveMcadden1]

Bruce Allen - Bit pricey, but well worth it.
