I apologise for not getting back on sooner, the joys of being manager secretary, maintenance and general labourer altogether, just not enough hours. Thank you so much for the advice each piece of advice is very helpful to me.
Regarding T McGibney, his fees of 600+ vat were for annual return only, there was no work carried out during the year. In saying that I am a carpenter not an accountant, so I have no idea how much work is involved. I'm only thinking of how much work I would do in my business for that amount of money and also considering both I and my accountant are Kerry based, so there may be considerable difference between different counties regarding general account overheads and fees.
