Title: Meeting accountant for the first time
Post by: Ian W on February 16, 2008, 02:54:16 pm

Ok guys, meeting my accountant for the first time with a view to discussing my tax return, which I have done myself for the last couple of years, and buying extra work to take me full time.

I don't want to go in to the meeting and be asked questions that I haven't got a clue about. (Been there with the bank...  ;D )

So what would you take along with you? Past tax returns, books done so far this year? Details of the work being purchased?
