Re: How much expect to pay in accountancy fees for a small ltd co turnover <€100k?
'...don't use home software, it's not worth the risk. Why don't you let us do it for you for a 'small' fee, to make sure all your stuff is in order...'
Trouble is that the temp or new college graduate actually working on your books is using the same software package as you would.
For straightforward, say one man companies with a monthly invoice and a few expenses, it is childsplay for the accountant to take care of them....the prices are too high, and only serve to give an aura of quality.
In our fair country these days, you only get quality and service if you pay for it, that's what we are told anyhows.
I do mine myself during the year, probably make some small mistakes, but then at least the accountant is 'earning' their fixed fee for fixing it and setting me right come end of year time.
Oh and as the previous poster mentioned, the accountant that met me in the beginning and gave all the smiles and personal service, is now largely uncontactable (usually out of the country) and I have to deal with her new associate, who is 8 years my junior, fresh out of college.
Money for cheese guys, money for cheese!
