Didn't want to hijack another thread so here's my question ...
Hmm, this is a bit of dilemma for me now because on the one hand I don't want to pay for something that I could easily do myself because I've got a good head on my shoulders but on the other hand I'm anxious that going alone I'll do it wrong (or at least worry about getting it wrong) in a way that defeats the purpose of going self employed to reduce my stress.
A friend of a family members work colleague is an accountant and he's quoted me about the cost of a moderately priced product training course (think lash extensions) to do everything for me...telling me what to write and how to write it and when to tell the tax man what and all of the things I can save money on. Like I was thinking that his help will ensure I get to keep everything I am entitled to as well as save me a lot of time and stress. Do you think this is a good deal? I'd rather not pay that much but I don't want the paper work, as intelligent and capable as I am, to be a source of anxiety either.
I'm going to be a tiny weeny business in terms of the profit I make because I'm doing this as a humble realist who wants to keep my hand in to be honest (and then anything more than that would be amazing but I would see it as a bonus rather than a given).
What would you do?
