About £150 partnership. I keep asking him to charge more, he's worth more.

my limited company accounts only cost £450 so i think my sole trader at £280 might be expensive - but i like the accountant shes a good girl (and blonde, the wife doesnt know!) but she also saves me more than i pay her so i guess she is worth it?

Last years was just over £700 for me and my wife, but the service was very poor and not proactive in the least, I had to go to them all the time.

I have just changed to a new accountant who is going to charge me £100/quarter.  For that he will review all the businesses, profit/loss, margins etc, on a three monthly basis, advise me on the various loopholes and potholes and tell me when I need to spend mone.  He is obviously also doing the year end accounts for the different businesses.

He comes with a good track record and recommendations, so hopefully things should get at least better.
