Originally posted by JohntheBike View Postwell, when my turnover went down, he charged me less, which is why I assumed he was charging on a percentage basis.
however, what other criteria would they use? the more complex the business, the more they charge? The more employees, the more they charge.? The latter would be linked to turnover surely?
If your accountant is charging on a complexity or time spent approach with no tools to help then he's not really what you need for a small contractor business.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Irrelevant to us really so no point discussing. Your standard PSC with even 2 directors, maybe an employee make little difference to the work done, particularly when FreeAgent is used as you do most of the entry. The accountant deals with the numbers it spits out.

I was paying around £150/month for one of larger ones, but I have recently left and was going for a local guy, but not sure now.Comment
