    Accounting recommendations

    Hi there,

    My Husband is an IT contractor and I've decided that it's best if i deal with business things now following some poor management on his part.

    He is with an accounting company at the moment who take about £190 a month and do not do a thing so i'm looking to change following a big hit from HMRC regarding a business loan that the accountancy suggested to do over a large dividend payment...does this sound like the most tax efficient way?
    obviously this bill came and husband said the guy who advised didnt mention anything about paying it back within a financial year. anyway...

    We basically need everything in a package that includes Self assessment completion. I've been looking at Nixon Williams, Crunch accounts and wondered what suggestions people have to get biggest take home.

    Thanks

    The annoyed wife

    :-)

    1) only use FreeAgent partner accountants.
    2) check the accountant recommendations sticky at the top of the thread.
    3) you shouldn’t need to pay more than £120/month, unless additional services such as business insurances are included.
    4) stay away from the really cheap ones as you’ll regret it in the long run.
    5) avoid NXW

          He asked for recommendations not a sales pitch [emoji3]

              Well done. Aren't accountants supposed to be detail-oriented?

                Having a husband does not signify gender. [emoji6]

                  Although being a wife does. [emoji15]

                  Consider me suitably chastened.
