Keeping Accounts

[Varley]

Just wondering how many people do their own accounts and who are the big earners that can afford an accountant. I do my own at the moment.

Re: Kepping Accounts

I'd always recommend using an accountant to do your VAT and Tax returns. They can save you a fair few quid if they submit everything online too.

Do my own. Think an accountant would have to do a bloody good job to save more money than he/she would cost in fees.

i agree why pay somebody to save you money defeats the purpose but then i am a spotter when trying to save money and i will ask, read and research everywhere before spending. as i said business gateway /link very helpfull. also banks and inland revenue if you can be bothered spending time reading all there leaflets.

I phoned the inland rev up ..told them i was starting a tiling business ...and thought great i got it going...then she said "when do you start trading ?"
i said well i haven't started yet..she said she could only help me when i know my trading start date ...which i gather is my first customer....
thing is my first customer wants to pay me cash...🙁...🙂 i dunno...lol

now my guess is all customers want to pay cash cos they know it's cheaper...tut

i need help on this one ..i want to do it right !!
