Shopping around solely on the basis of price is madness.
Ideally yes, but this is easier said than done. A lot of people do not know someone in their same situation and in my case, people I do know all seem to have a brother or an uncle that does it for them in their spare time.Recommendations from trusted friends and family are by the far the best way of locating a quality professional service provider
Hi,
Thanks for all your replies.
I called a few accountants and the best available seems to be www.accountingconcepts.ie. Their price tax, vat returns for a sole trader was e600 plus vat. While this cannot be compared with the prices of cxc or prima directly as their prices was for a limited company, which involve more paperwork, they do not offer sole trader services and such an arrangement seems to be the most appropriate structure for a IT contractor.
Aside from price, they seem helpful, quick to respond to queries and design their services from small to medium enterprises.
I would also like to stress that I have no affiliation or connection with accountingconcepts,
regards,
Brian.

Do you get all this from your current accountant? Or instead do you:
* find it hard to get in contact with your accountant?
* only speak to them once or twice a year?
* hear about problems with your tax returns from the Revenue before you hear about them from your accountant?
* feel that you are less important to them than you used to be?
* find that you are repeating your requests to several different people before you can get anyone to deal with them?
* rarely, if ever, get any advice on how to grow your business, increase your profits or reduce your tax liabilities?
