Roughly how much should we pay for an accountant?

As previously mentioned recommended professionals from others who have dealt with them is generally best where possible

Not to mention that there's no need to give your accountant any of your money in the first place. You can pay your tax directly to HMRC and tax refunds can be made directly to you. There's NO reason for your accountant to handle YOUR money. In fact, in our practice, we don't have a client monies bank account as we never handle any client money at all - never have and never will. If you have an accountant who insists that tax refunds are paid to them or your tax payments are paid via them, then walk away - there's NO reason.

It can be useful at times to ensure you do get paid ,however, with certain types of clients! Clients ultimately have a choice however to use someone else if they don't feel comfortable with the process.

Try to minimise use of ours as much as possible due to form filling it requires for each transaction in and out
