Ball-park fees for accountants services

[evilagent]

Hi,
What are ball-park fees accountants fees for IT contractors theses days?
I have been offered £120 plus VAT pcm.
Is that good for limited company?

(they do all the paperwork, calculate salaries, expenses, file HMRC forms, or at least let me know they are due, etc)

£50 to £250 is a general guide, but bear in mind that it's not always a case of "you get what you pay for". Call a few and compare service and advice, and make sure you're comfy with the people you talk to. You need to be able to call or email your accountant and know you can trust the advice you're given, and you'll only know that by talking to a few.

That sounds about right for a 'standard' service from one of the established players.

I pay £125+VAT to my accountants which is more expensive than some of the others I know of, but then again I know people who've use the others and I think my accountants are worth the extra, especially in the early months of my limited company.

I use Nixon Williams @ £95+vat per month - would recommend them.

Repeat after me...

Good accountants are free, bad ones are expensive...

It's about the service you get. It's only about the monthly fee when all else is equal.
