What do you reckon, when choosing an accountant should you bare in mind whether they are local or just web based? Do you really need an accountant that can visit you?

Surely it depends on your business and what they're doing for you? Ours is local, which makes dropping off a box full of cheque book stubs, receipt books, pay records, receipts etc a lot easier than trusting them to the post!

Agree with Savvy_Sue ... it depends on what you want your accountant to do.
In my case, I do my own bookeeping and prepare my own accounts. So my accountant really just signs them off, but will sometimes claim for some expenses that I didn't and/or increase what I have claimed for.
I could easily deal with my accountant via email - especially as I use Sage and I can email my Sage file to my accountant. She corrects it and sends it back!
So .... what do you want your accountant to do?Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac
