I normally do my own accounts as they're pretty straightforward. This year (09-10) I'm thinking of getting an accountant to do them, for a couple of reasons:
1. They say a good accountant should save you more than they cost, so I'm going to put that to the test.
2. Also, I'm looking to push the business on and so want a decent set of well prepared accounts to show the relevant people.
3. Further to point 2, I also want to pick their brains about the best way to fund my plans!

So, what I would like to know is, does anyone in the Cheltenham/Gloucester area have a good accountant that they would recommend? My turnover wasn't huge last year,  so I also need them to be reasonably priced!

1. They say a good accountant should save you more than they cost, so I'm going to put that to the test.

Only if you've got complicated accounts like employees or franchises.

Sole trader won't benefit.
My tax didn't come to any different when doing it myself, so saved £200.

I understand your other reasons though.

my new accountant is awesome.
pretty cheap and very thorough
It's all done on phone and through post as she lives in scotland, so much cheaper than any quotes ive ever had.
Her name is Veronique her number is 01573 460651
Im in Ross On Wye and it makes no odds her being so far away, its about £200 for year and you can pay monthly
She specialises in window cleaners
