The main thing to remember with accountants is if you dump a bag of random receipts/dates in front of them in no particular order, it's going to cost you far more than if you're systematic in your approach to your work/finances. If you don't do your filling properly and present it to them in a logical sequence, you're going to have to pay them for the extra time involved, on top of the actual accounts themselves. Time is money, to everyone!

thanks.. ive kept reciepts in order etc to make it easier and lower the cost for the accountant.

luckily we only have a few so far but il defintely keep filing the reciepts in the future

You're welcome, because so many people seem to think that as long as they hand everything over any old how, the accountant will sort it out for them for a set fee. He/she won't! Don't employ them as your filling clerk, as it's not a freebie, if you want to keep costs down. Good luck with your venture.

Its worth asking other businesses near you for reccomendations. I agree with the above posts too!

A good accountant should save you more money than he costs you. I believe the average annual cost for a ltd co accounts is around the thousand quid mark.

ive been qouted double that but ive only got one quote so maybe she is just expensive
