I am going to set up a limited company for me to do IT contracting.
I have had a couple of appointments with accountants and I want to ensure I go with the one that firstly seems most capable, but as importantly, is not charging me over the odds.
I am finding it difficult to get straight answers out of the two I have seen around the costs involved.
I am told that the costs "could" be between €1,500 to €2,000, depending on complexity, but there seems little information that breaks this down. There is also a daily rate that is chargeable, but they will answer ad-hoc questions over the phone / email.
I have spoken to people that say that it should be more like in the region of €1,000-€1,500.
Also, somebody else I know (in building) told me a story that he was paying around €2k per year, even when things got bad in the building industry. He recently threatened to go elsewhere and his accountant then dropped his price to €750.
How can I figure out where I am going to get the best deal?
