Can you recommend a good umbrella company?

Hi guys,

I'm a bit lost as to where to put this so feel free to move it :D

I've jsut got myself a job :j and as before I will be using an umbrella company for this short term contract.

I've been using Parasol very happily in the past but as money is very tight and the amount I will earn is relatively low I can't afford to pay £90 for their monthly fees.

I'm just wondering if you know of any other cheaper umbrella companies that still offer the quality service that Parasol have in the past.

I start on Monday so need to try and sort this asap. I prefer not to do my own accounts as I don't fully understand it.

Thank you for your help.

    They're all pretty much charging the same.
    Doing your own accounts is quite simple. When you have the time, approach your local business link and see if they're doing a basic book-keeping course and then you can get away from these sheisters.

    I reccommend http://www.mantor.co.uk/

    Used them lots on both sides of the fence (as the contractor and the employer) and not had any trouble.

    They have a open free structure and 24 hr help.

    Costs nothing to phone.
