Accountant ball park fees

€1,000 is way too high if it is purely company formation with no extra work needed. I researched this when I was setting up and found dozens of 'Company Formation' agents/companies on the internet who could do it for an average of around €200 - €400.

In the end I went with my accountant who was charging €500 purely because I was happy with his advice/service up to that date. I thought at the time that €500 was a little on the high side but I would never have even considered €1,000.

Definitely shop around.
