What difference will face to face make? Moving accountants at this point is going to cost more and be less effective as Crunch know the situation. What benefits will changing bring you?

Do you have enough in the company to bother with MVL/ER.

Hey,

i'm looking to close down my company (you guessed it: IT Contractor offered a permanent job to rid myself of IR35 nightmares).

I'm currently with Crunch accountants but i'd prefer to find an agency and work with them face to face. any recommendations?

preferably south greater london / london city.

my company profile is pretty basic:

- just me
- 2+ years
- IT contracts in and around london

topics i'd like to deal with:

- last tax return
- company closure
- assets
- TAX code for moving to perm?
- MVL / ER options

Mike

Maslins (who regularly post on here) would probably be a good place to start. They're just south of London but that would be my first point of call as they have a specialist MVL company.

^^I'd agree with all this.

Crunch should be able to finalise all the accounting bits and bobs, and also hopefully give some basic guidance over how best to extract final funds. If final net assets are >£25k, then you may well want an MVL. Crunch may have a "preferred MVL partner" and try hard to point you towards them, but if not, do consider MVL Online.

Worth stressing though that it'll be your accountant's job (not the liquidator's) to do final accounting/tax matters. If you're not happy with Crunch doing this, then be warned you may find you're paying another accountancy firm quite a bit of money to do what may seem not a great deal. Remember accountants have to jump through a lot of hoops onboarding a client, uncovering the historic position, getting authorised as tax agents/all the info they need. Hence it's often not worth anyone's while doing that for very small jobs, or as in your situation switching accountant right at the end of a company's life.
