Hi ,
i am usually £700/£8oo per year but this is increasing as we are now a LTd Co, the increase is worth the advantages though!

I'm paying almost £500 which includes my Self Assessment.
Try asking others trades/business people, shopkeepers etc. in your local area. Like our own industry where we have markets within a market, the same can happen with accountants too. This will give you a wide variation in fees, part of which will be to fund the more swanky offices ;)
Safe and speedy recovery:)

£306.38 + VAT per annum including self assesment. I pay my accountant £30 per month inc vat by direct debit.
Been with him for 5 yrs, good honest and very helpful.
I do get charged extra for extra work but even so.. as an example, I use sage accounting and payroll, I had a problem that screwed sage up. Bearing in mind my accountant charges £100 per hour it took him 5hrs and he only charged me £150 ;D ;D ;D.
Can't promise he will do the same for anyone else... but if you want his number pm me.

Hi all
Im new to this forum and think its a great site , regarding the above question about accountancy fee's , I used to be self employed in the construction industry and my accountant charged me a yearly fee of £180 so your quote would be fair enough.

My business affairs are not complicated, so I do my own books:
Day to day entries 15 mins per day approx
Year end accounts 2 hours
Self asssessment (with aid of software) 6 hours

DIY Nil however if you need a mortgage etc you may have problems But thankfully I do not have this headache
As a matter of interest do you have to have an Accountant for a Limited Company
I was under the impression that the rules changed and you only needed one if your turnover was over 250k

Hi
My business is a Limited Company and this means extra work for the Accountant. My charges are in excess of £800 pa.
I don't begrudge paying this figure as I get total peace of mind and he deals with all aspects of my tax situation. I use an independant guy who is highly rated by the Revenue (pays to have in side information at times like this) ;)
My reason for going Limited in the very early days was security...We were employing a lot of staff in those days, taking on a lot of major contract work and therefore in the unlikely eventuality of us going bust I wanted my house out of the equation.
