Is it really worth paying for an accountant?

Why you should contact Just Pure Book-keeping & Accounts Ltd.

Having problems with that end of year tax return? Just have too much work to bother with completing it? Wouldn't you rather pass it to a professional who can ensure that you are claiming all your expenses?

Why it isn't always necessary to pay so much!

Be very careful when deciding to hire an accountant.

If you just need some start-up advice, or needing your annual accounts prepared, your tax return completed, your payroll run or your VAT submitted… do contact me! I am not a Chartered Accountant but you do not need one to provide any of this… don't believe everything you're told by the bigger firms! It's true that they may carry more "clout" if you get into problems; you can draw on more people's experience if you have to suffer an investigation, for example, but, rest assured, you will pay for it!

If you are a sole trader you shouldn't be expecting to pay more than around £250 for a small set of accounts and tax return to be prepared for you.

You don't even need an accountant, you know! If you are competent, you can always file your tax return yourself… it's just that you'll have to blame yourself if it all goes wrong! It's always worth spending a bit of money, just to be on the safe side!
