keithm Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 It all depends on how much work you are prepared to do yourself. I used to hat doing it and paid my accountant to do most of it. If you work hard in your business all week, why would you want to go home or stay late to 'catch up' with your paperwork! If you can't afford £50 a week, probably over the top for most, then stay in on a Friday and Sunday lunch whilst your mates are down the pub or out with their kids. k4mrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But often you get what you pay for. For example, not every accountant will call you regularly during lockdown explaining what you can and can't claim, grants that are available and help with claims unless asked. Not that we needed to because we did it ourselves anyway. But comforting to know they were on the ball. We have had other benefits of being with an account that is more than just a self-assessment administrator. It's a balance. If they start creeping the price up, challenge them!

Ilynelson Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 One thing you can do to help keep costs down is to make sure that all your records are in order, including your paycheck stubs. Having all your financial documents in good order will make it easier for your accountant to file your taxes and keep your records up to date with Making Tax Digital (MTD). It's also good to shop around and compare prices with different accountants, as well as their services, before making a decision. Sometimes, you may find a better deal with another accountant who offers the same services at a lower cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
