Fair or unfair?

Hello all, keen for some advice please. Our current accountant seems to be charging us quite a lot of money - approximatley 3.5% of turnover. We have an annual turnover of approximately £150k.
The services our accountant currently assists us with are :
Corporation tax
Book keeping
(sales are minimal as generally there is only a single invoice per day)
(purchases are again minimal as our business is a garden services provider)
Quarterly online VAT return
PAYE for 2 directors only (all other staff are contractors)
We provide our receipts quarterly, with 3 PDF months worth of bank statements and a spreadsheet showing all invoices and cheques written for the quarterly period. So, just the receipts to enter onto Sage and reconcilation with the bank statements and VAT online filing for the day to day running. And end of year corporation tax as an annual requirement.
Please advise if the current fees that we are being charged for our accountancy are expensive or about right?

Thanks for this, I have posted the thread in your recommended section as now as well, I will leave it here however as the thread still has relevance here. If other people think I am paying to much and the advice urges me to change accountants I will be upping my income by shopping smarter.
